Parker 8-6 C5OX-S Steel Flared Tube Elbow 1/2 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER 8-6 C5OX-S is a 90-degree straight thread elbow fitting designed for flared tube hydraulic and fluid power connections. It features a 37-degree flare end on one side and an SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) straight thread on the other, providing a reliable, leak-resistant connection in high-pressure plumbing circuits. Constructed from steel, this fitting handles a maximum working pressure of 6000 psi and a maximum working temperature of 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). It is sized for 1/2 inch tube outer diameter with a 9/16 inch UNF straight thread. Hydraulic and fluid power technicians install this fitting when routing tubing at a 90-degree change of direction while terminating into a straight-thread port.

This elbow fitting is suited for industrial hydraulic systems, mobile equipment fluid circuits, and high-pressure plumbing applications where a flared tube line must connect to an SAE-ORB ported component such as a pump, valve, or manifold. The 37-degree flare geometry conforms to SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards, making it a direct match for standard JIC-style flared tube assemblies used across a broad range of mobile and stationary hydraulic equipment. The straight thread ORB port end eliminates the need for thread sealant when an O-ring is properly seated.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow configuration for direction changes in tight plumbing layouts
• 37-degree flare x SAE O-Ring Boss end connections per SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2
• Maximum working pressure of 6000 psi for high-pressure hydraulic service
• Rated to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) for elevated-temperature fluid systems
• Steel construction for durability in industrial and mobile equipment environments
• UNF straight thread standard for precise, repeatable port engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic and fluid power systems using 1/2 inch OD flared tubing and SAE-ORB straight thread ports conforming to SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic or fluid power technician. Depressurize and drain the hydraulic circuit fully before removing or installing any fitting. Inspect the O-ring on the ORB end and replace it if damaged before torquing to the port. Do not use thread sealant tape on the straight thread ORB end; the O-ring provides the seal. Verify the 37-degree flare seat on the mating tube end is clean and free of nicks before assembly.
