Parker 8-6 F5OX-S Steel Flared Tube Connector 1/2 in

Product Description

The PARKER 8-6 F5OX-S is a steel flared tube straight thread connector designed to join 1/2-inch OD flared tubing to SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) ports. It features a 37-degree flare seat on the tube end and a straight UNF thread on the port end, creating a leak-resistant mechanical seal without sealant at the ORB connection. Rated to 6,000 psi maximum working pressure and rated for service up to 500 degrees F, this fitting is built for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid power applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic technicians install this fitting in professional fluid system builds and maintenance work.

This connector is used in hydraulic lines, fuel systems, and fluid transfer assemblies where a flared tube must terminate at an SAE-ORB port on a valve, manifold, or pump body. The 37-degree flare angle conforms to SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards, making it appropriate for both OEM system builds and field repair work in industrial, mobile equipment, and commercial mechanical settings. It is sold individually and is a direct-catalog Parker fitting.

Key Features

• 37-degree flare seat meets SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards for leak-resistant tube connections
• SAE O-Ring Boss (ORB) straight thread port end eliminates the need for thread sealant at the port side
• Rated to 6,000 psi maximum dynamic working pressure for high-pressure hydraulic service
• Maximum working temperature of 500 degrees F suitable for demanding fluid system environments
• Steel construction provides strength and durability in hydraulic and fuel line applications
• Compact overall length of 1.44 inches for use in tight plumbing configurations

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2-inch OD 37-degree flared tubing on the flare end and SAE O-Ring Boss straight thread ports on the outlet end, conforming to SAE J514, SAE 070120, and ISO 8434-2 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or pipefitter familiar with flared tube fittings and SAE-ORB port connections. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic or fluid system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure the tube flare is properly formed to 37 degrees using the correct flaring tool before assembly, as an out-of-spec flare will not seal correctly. Torque the ORB port end to the fitting manufacturer and system designer specifications; do not over-tighten.
