Parker 6-2 Dtx-s Steel Flared Tube Female Elbow 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER 6-2 DTX-S is a 90-degree female elbow fitting designed for flared tube connections in hydraulic and fluid power systems. It features a 37-degree flare seat on the tube end and a female NPTF thread on the port end, creating a Flare x FNPTF configuration. Machined from steel, this fitting handles a maximum working pressure of 5000 psi and a maximum working temperature of 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic technicians use it to route tubing at 90-degree angles while maintaining a leak-resistant, high-pressure seal in demanding service environments.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial fluid power, hydraulic, and pneumatic plumbing applications where a 3/8-inch OD flared tube must connect to a female NPTF port at a right angle. It is commonly installed in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and HVAC refrigerant or oil line assemblies that require routed tubing changes in direction. The 37-degree flare angle conforms to SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards, making it a standard choice where those specifications govern the installation.

Key Features

• 90-degree female elbow configuration routes tubing at a right angle to conserve space and reduce bending stress on tubing
• 37-degree flare seat meets SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards for flared tube fittings
• Flare x FNPTF end connection pairs a flared tube inlet with a female NPTF threaded port outlet
• Rated to 5000 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid power service
• Steel construction supports service up to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C)
• NPTF thread standard provides a dry-seal mechanical thread without relying solely on sealant tape

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 3/8-inch OD flared tubing with female NPTF threaded ports, conforming to SAE J514, SAE 070203, and ISO 8434-2 flare fitting standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed pipefitters, hydraulic technicians, or qualified HVAC technicians. Depressurize and bleed down the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Inspect the flare seat and NPTF threads for damage before assembly, and apply an appropriate thread sealant to the NPTF port threads per the system fluid compatibility requirements. Do not over-torque the flare nut, as this can distort the 37-degree seat and cause leaks.
