Parker 6 Ebu-s Tube Union Elbow 3/8 Nptf Steel 5000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 6 EBU-S is a flareless bite-type tube union elbow designed for high-pressure hydraulic and instrumentation tubing systems. It forms a 90-degree change of direction between two tube runs without requiring flared tube ends. The fitting uses a bite-type ferrule mechanism that grips the tube OD on assembly, creating a leak-free, vibration-resistant joint rated to 5000 psi maximum working pressure. Constructed from steel, it is built for demanding industrial and mobile equipment environments. Installation is performed by qualified hydraulic or instrumentation technicians working with 3/8-inch OD tubing and 3/8-inch NPTF port connections.

This union elbow is suited for fluid power, instrumentation, and process piping applications where a rigid 90-degree tube-to-tube connection is required. The NPTF thread form provides a dry-seal mechanical thread fit, reducing reliance on thread sealant. Typical applications include hydraulic control lines, lube oil circuits, and high-pressure instrumentation tubing runs found in industrial machinery, mobile hydraulics, and off-highway equipment.

Key Features

• Flareless bite-type design eliminates the need for tube flaring tools during assembly
• 90-degree elbow geometry for compact tube routing changes
• 5000 psi maximum working pressure rating
• 3/8 inch NPTF dry-seal threads reduce leak paths at the port connection
• 24-degree flared angle ferrule seat for secure tube grip
• Steel construction for durability in industrial and hydraulic service environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fitting for hydraulic and instrumentation tubing systems accepting 3/8 inch OD flareless bite-type tube fittings with 3/8 inch NPTF connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or pipefitter. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Follow the fitting manufacturer's assembly procedure for bite-type fittings, which typically requires a presetting step to seat the ferrule onto the tube before final installation. Do not overtighten NPTF connections; refer to applicable fluid power standards for turn-past-finger-tight guidelines.
