It features a 37-degree flare seat on the tube end and a male NPT (NPTF) thread on the pipe end, creating a Flare x MNPT configuration. The fitting accepts 1\/4-inch tube OD and threads into 1\/2-14 NPTF ports. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 6000 psi dynamic and a maximum working temperature of 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters install this type of fitting where flared tubing must transition to a threaded pipe connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for residential and commercial systems that use 1\/4-inch flared tubing routed to NPTF-threaded ports. Typical applications include refrigeration lines, hydraulic circuits, fuel systems, and instrumentation plumbing where a leak-free metal-to-metal seal is required. The 37-degree flare angle conforms to SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards, making it compatible with equipment built to those specifications. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both new installation and maintenance repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e37-degree flare seat meets SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlare x MNPT end connection for tube-to-pipe transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6000 psi maximum dynamic working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) maximum working temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability in high-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNPTF thread standard for pressure-tight dry-seal performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 1\/4-inch OD flared tubing terminating at 1\/2-14 NPTF-threaded ports in systems built to SAE J514 or ISO 8434-2 flare fitting standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Flare the tube end to the correct 37-degree angle using a calibrated flaring tool before assembly; an improperly formed flare is the leading cause of leaks in this fitting type. NPTF threads are designed for metal-to-metal dry-seal engagement — follow the fitting manufacturer torque guidance and inspect for leaks after system pressurization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flare x MNPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlared Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube OD\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-14\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Working Pressure (Dynamic)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 500 degrees F (260 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.69 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO 8434-2, SAE 070102, SAE J514\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27121707\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-8 FTX-S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541741142322,"sku":"4-8 FTX-S","price":26.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fd40d7ec7a0313eae5946490e62e35ce_6be7ab45-c0ca-48a8-943d-314239ebb33d.jpg?v=1785883624","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-4-8-ftx-s-steel-flared-tube-connector-1-4-in-od","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
