Parker 46F-10-8 Brass Flared Tube Connector 5/8 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER 46F-10-8 is a brass flared tube connector designed for use in fluid and gas line assemblies requiring a secure, leak-resistant connection. It features a 45-degree flare seat on one end and a female NPTF (FNPTF) threaded connection on the other, conforming to SAE J512 and SAE J513 standards. The fitting accepts 5/8 inch tube OD and uses a 1/2-14 NPTF thread. Rated to 650 psi maximum working pressure and 250 degrees F maximum working temperature, this connector is built for demanding service environments. The all-brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of compatible media. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration mechanics are the typical installers.

This fitting is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant line sets, hydraulic systems, and instrumentation tubing where a 45-degree SAE flare-to-female pipe thread transition is required. The Flare x FNPTF end configuration allows direct connection between flared tubing and a female NPTF-threaded port or valve body. Its compact overall length of 1.8 inches makes it suitable for installations with limited clearance around fittings and manifolds.

Key Features

• Rated to 650 psi maximum working pressure
• Maximum working temperature of 250 degrees F (121 degrees C)
• All-brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• UL Listed; meets SAE J512 and SAE J513 requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems requiring a 5/8 inch OD 45-degree flared tube connection to a 1/2-14 NPTF female threaded port, in accordance with SAE J512 and SAE J513 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, HVAC technician, or refrigeration mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Use appropriate flaring tools to ensure the tube end is formed to the correct 45-degree SAE flare before seating the fitting; a damaged or out-of-spec flare face is a common cause of leaks. NPTF threads are self-sealing by thread form design, but verify joint integrity after pressurizing the system per applicable codes including IFGC or IPC as appropriate to the installation.
