It features a 37-degree flare seat on the tube end and a male NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) thread on the fitting end, creating a leak-resistant connection between flared tubing and threaded ports. The fitting accommodates a 0.5 inch tube outside diameter and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 4500 psi. Stainless steel construction provides resistance to corrosion and elevated temperatures. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial pipefitters install this type of fitting in hydraulic, pneumatic, refrigeration, and fuel system assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for residential and commercial installations where a flared tubing line must terminate into a male NPT port. Typical applications include hydraulic control lines, fuel distribution systems, and refrigerant or process piping where a reliable, pressure-rated metal-to-metal flare seat is required. The NPTF thread form provides a dry-seal connection that does not rely solely on thread sealant to prevent leakage, making it appropriate for high-pressure service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e37-degree flare angle conforms to standard JIC and AN flare specifications for metal-to-metal sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum working pressure of 4500 psi suits demanding hydraulic and high-pressure fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and elevated-temperature environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNPTF dry-seal thread reduces dependency on sealant tape or compound to achieve a leak-free port connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlare x MNPTF end configuration allows direct transition from flared tubing to a female NPT port\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact connector profile fits standard tube and pipe assemblies without requiring additional adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 0.5 inch OD flared tubing with a 37-degree flare seat terminating into a female NPTF-threaded port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing any existing fittings or making new connections. Inspect the flare seat and tube flare for nicks, out-of-round conditions, or debris before assembly, as surface defects compromise the metal-to-metal seal. NPTF fittings are designed for dry-seal service, but consult applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC to determine whether a compatible thread sealant is required for your specific application and fluid type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlared Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flare x MNPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4500 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.431 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27121707\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-16 FTX-SS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538670518578,"sku":"8-16 FTX-SS","price":172.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/24e518eef6996ee07387eb378739970d.jpg?v=1785825492","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-8-16-ftx-ss-stainless-steel-flared-tube-connector","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
