Parker 6 Tx-s Steel Flared Tube Sleeve 3/8 in 37 Deg

Product Description

The PARKER 6 TX-S is a steel flared tube sleeve designed for use in hydraulic and fluid system connections requiring a 37-degree flare angle. This sleeve fits over 3/8-inch OD tubing and creates a secure flared-end connection compliant with SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards. The fitting is rated for working temperatures up to 500 degrees F, making it suitable for high-temperature hydraulic and pneumatic line assemblies. At 0.5 inches in overall length, it is a compact component installed by hydraulic technicians and pipefitters during tube end preparation and line fabrication.

This sleeve is used in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid transfer assemblies where 37-degree flare fittings are specified. It is appropriate for both industrial and mobile equipment applications, including high-pressure hydraulic circuits, fuel systems, and instrumentation lines. Installations typically occur in industrial plant environments, heavy equipment service, and commercial mechanical systems where SAE J514-compliant flare connections are standard practice.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement sleeve for 37-degree flare tube assemblies using 3/8-inch OD steel tubing in SAE J514-compliant hydraulic and fluid systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified hydraulic technicians or pipefitters. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic or fluid circuit completely before disassembling any fittings. Use appropriate flaring tools calibrated to the 37-degree SAE specification to ensure a proper seating surface. Follow SAE J514 and applicable system manufacturer torque and assembly procedures when making up the flare connection.
