Parker 8-12 F5OLO-S Straight Thread Connector Orfs Sae-orb

Product Description

The PARKER 8-12 F5OLO-S is a straight thread connector fitting designed to join hydraulic or fluid lines using an O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) connection on one end and an SAE O-Ring Boss (SAE-ORB) port connection on the other. Constructed from steel, this fitting is rated for a maximum working pressure of 9200 psi, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic circuit applications. It accommodates a 1/2 inch tube outside diameter and uses a 1-1/16-12 UNF thread standard. Licensed plumbers, hydraulic system technicians, and fluid power specialists typically install fittings of this type in industrial, mobile, and commercial hydraulic systems.

This connector is used in hydraulic plumbing applications where a compression tube line must terminate at a straight-thread port. The ORFS end provides a leak-resistant face seal connection, while the SAE-ORB end threads directly into a boss port on a manifold, valve, pump, or cylinder. Typical installation scenarios include mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and high-pressure fluid distribution systems where reliable, vibration-resistant connections are required.

Key Features

• ORFS x SAE-ORB end connections for reliable, leak-resistant hydraulic joints
• Rated to 9200 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure hydraulic service
• 1/2 inch tube outside diameter compatibility
• 1-1/16-12 UNF thread size on the SAE-ORB end
• Steel construction for strength and durability in demanding fluid power environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hydraulic fitting for use in fluid power systems requiring an ORFS tube connection to an SAE-ORB straight-thread port, with a 1/2 inch tube outside diameter and 1-1/16-12 UNF thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power specialist familiar with high-pressure plumbing practices. Always depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit fully before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Verify that the O-ring on the face seal end is properly seated and undamaged before assembly, and confirm thread compatibility with the receiving port before applying torque. Follow applicable industry standards for hydraulic fitting installation, including SAE J1926 for O-ring boss ports and SAE J1453 for ORFS connections.
