Parker 8 Clo-s Male Elbow 6000 Psi 1/2 in Od Orfs X Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER 8 CLO-S is a compression tube male elbow fitting designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid-transfer applications. It connects a 1/2-inch OD tube to a male NPTF port using an O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) interface, providing a leak-resistant seal under demanding operating conditions. Rated to 6000 psi maximum working pressure, the fitting is constructed from zinc-plated steel for corrosion resistance. The 3/8-18 NPTF thread standard ensures a pressure-tight mechanical connection on the pipe-thread end. Licensed plumbers, hydraulic system technicians, and fluid-power mechanics install this type of fitting in industrial, mobile, and stationary hydraulic systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial fluid-power circuits, hydraulic machinery, and industrial plumbing runs where a 90-degree directional change is required between a compression tube line and an NPTF-threaded port. The ORFS end eliminates reliance on thread deformation alone for sealing, making it appropriate for systems that cycle pressure frequently or require reliable leak-free performance in tight spaces. The elbow geometry helps route tubing cleanly around obstructions in panel or manifold installations.

Key Features

• 6000 psi maximum working pressure rated for high-pressure hydraulic service
• O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) end connection provides a positive, leak-resistant seal
• 3/8-18 NPTF thread on the male pipe end for pressure-tight mechanical connection
• Accepts 1/2-inch OD compression tube
• Zinc-plated steel construction for corrosion resistance in industrial environments
• 90-degree male elbow configuration for directional routing in confined installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic and fluid-power systems requiring a 1/2-inch OD tube compression connection to a 3/8-18 NPTF male port with an ORFS sealing interface.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic or fluid circuit fully before disassembly or fitting installation. Inspect the O-ring and sealing face for damage before assembly; do not reuse a damaged O-ring. Consult applicable system schematics and follow the equipment manufacturer's torque and assembly procedures for ORFS fittings.
