Parker 8-8 Clo-s Male Elbow 1/2-14 Orfs X Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER 8-8 CLO-S is a compression tube male elbow fitting designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid power plumbing applications. It connects a compression tube on one end to a male NPTF thread on the other, using an O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) interface to deliver leak-free performance. Constructed from zinc-plated steel, the fitting is rated to 6000 psi maximum working pressure, making it suitable for demanding fluid conveyance systems. Plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and industrial pipefitters install this type of fitting where a 90-degree directional change is required in a high-pressure line.

This male elbow is used in hydraulic systems, fluid power circuits, and industrial plumbing assemblies where a reliable, pressure-rated direction change is needed. The ORFS end provides a metal-to-metal seat sealed by an O-ring, which minimizes the risk of leakage at the connection point. The NPTF thread end forms a dry-seal mechanical connection with a mating female NPTF port. Typical installation scenarios include mobile hydraulic equipment, industrial machinery, and commercial fluid distribution plumbing. The 1/2-14 thread size and 1/2-inch tube outside diameter are common in mid-range hydraulic circuits.

Key Features

• ORFS x NPTF end connections provide a dual-seal, leak-resistant joint at both ends
• Zinc-plated steel construction resists corrosion in general industrial environments
• Rated to 6000 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure hydraulic service
• 1/2-14 NPTF thread size and 1/2-inch tube OD for straightforward line sizing
• 90-degree male elbow geometry for routing lines around obstructions or panel edges

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid power systems using 1/2-inch OD compression tube with 1/2-14 NPTF female port connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or licensed plumber familiar with high-pressure fluid systems. Depressurize and lock out the system before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect the ORFS seat and O-ring for damage before assembly, and verify that the mating NPTF port is clean and undamaged. Refer to applicable industry standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines for proper assembly procedures on high-pressure hydraulic connections.
