Parker 8-4 Vtx-s Steel Male 45 Elbow 1/2 in Tube Od 1/4 Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER 8-4 VTX-S is a steel 45-degree male elbow fitting designed for flared tube connections in hydraulic and fluid conveyance systems. It features a 37-degree flare on the tube end and a male NPTF thread on the pipe end, providing a reliable metal-to-metal seal suitable for high-pressure service. Rated to 6000 psi maximum working pressure and capable of handling temperatures up to 500 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding industrial, HVAC, and fluid power applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic technicians install this type of fitting when transitioning between flared tubing and NPT-threaded ports.

This fitting is used in hydraulic lines, refrigeration circuits, fuel systems, and other fluid conveyance assemblies where a 45-degree directional change is required. The Flare x MNPTF end configuration connects a 1/2-inch OD flared tube on one end to a 1/4-inch male NPTF port on the other. Its compact size suits installations in tight spaces or panel-mounted manifolds. Compliance with ISO 8434-2, SAE J514, and SAE 070302 makes it appropriate for applications requiring recognized industry standards.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 1/2-inch OD flared tube with a 1/4-inch NPTF port connection in hydraulic, fuel, or refrigeration line assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, hydraulic technician, or licensed plumber. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect the flare seat and tube flare for damage before assembly, and torque to the fitting manufacturer's specification using a calibrated torque wrench. NPTF threads are designed for dry-seal engagement, but follow applicable system or code requirements for thread sealant use.
