Parker 8 Bl-s Tube Support 1/2 in Od Orfs 9200 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 8 BL-S is a compression-style tube support fitting designed to reinforce and protect tubing at connection points in high-pressure fluid and hydraulic systems. Constructed from steel, it provides structural support to 1/2-inch outside diameter tubing while maintaining a secure O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) end connection. The fitting threads at 13/16-16 UNF and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 9200 psi. It weighs 0.08 pounds. Tube supports like this one are installed by hydraulic and fluid system technicians to prevent tubing deformation and vibration fatigue at fittings in demanding service environments.

This tube support is suited for use in industrial hydraulic lines, high-pressure fluid transfer assemblies, and mobile equipment plumbing where tubing integrity at connection points is critical. The ORFS end connection type provides a leak-resistant seal and is widely used in hydraulic circuits subject to pressure spikes and vibration. The 13/16-16 UNF thread size is a standard hydraulic fitting dimension compatible with corresponding ORFS port hardware.

Key Features

• Steel construction for durability in high-pressure hydraulic and fluid service
• Supports 1/2-inch OD tubing at fitting connections to reduce vibration fatigue
• O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) end connection for leak-resistant sealing
• 13/16-16 UNF thread standard for compatibility with common hydraulic port hardware
• Rated to 9200 psi maximum working pressure
• Lightweight at 0.08 pounds — minimal added weight in tight assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style tube support for hydraulic and high-pressure fluid lines using 1/2-inch OD tubing with ORFS-threaded port connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed hydraulic technicians or fluid system mechanics. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit fully before disassembly or fitting installation. Use appropriate wrenching flats and do not overtighten, as ORFS fittings rely on o-ring compression for sealing. Follow applicable industry standards for hydraulic tube assembly and torque practices as outlined in system documentation.
