Parker 6 Vtx-s Steel Male 45 Degree Flare Elbow 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER 6 VTX-S is a male 45-degree flared tube elbow fitting manufactured from steel. It connects a 37-degree flared tube end to a male NPTF threaded port, creating a leak-resistant right-angle fluid path. The fitting carries a 3/8-inch tube outside diameter and a 1/4-inch NPTF thread. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 6000 psi and handles temperatures up to 500 degrees F. This type of fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and hydraulic system technicians in both industrial and mechanical systems requiring a reliable angled tube-to-port connection.

The PARKER 6 VTX-S is suited for hydraulic lines, fuel lines, refrigerant tubing, and other fluid systems where a 45-degree directional change is required at a threaded port. Its Flare x MNPTF end configuration makes it appropriate for connecting steel or compatible tubing to NPT-threaded equipment ports in residential, commercial, and industrial installations.

Key Features

• 45-degree male elbow configuration for directional routing of fluid lines
• 37-degree flare angle conforms to SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards
• Maximum working pressure of 6000 psi for high-pressure system applications
• Temperature rated up to 500 degrees F for demanding thermal environments
• NPTF thread standard provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal at the port connection
• Steel construction for durability in hydraulic, fuel, and fluid system environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for hydraulic and fluid system assemblies requiring a 37-degree flare by male NPTF threaded connection with a 3/8-inch tube outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation of flared tube fittings should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with hydraulic or fluid piping systems. De-energize the system and relieve all line pressure before disconnecting or installing any fitting. Ensure tube ends are properly flared to the correct 37-degree angle before assembly to achieve a leak-free connection. Follow applicable standards including SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 for flare preparation and assembly procedures.
