Parker 8 Dtx-s Steel Flared Tube Female Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The PARKER 8 DTX-S is a 90-degree female elbow fitting designed for flared tube connections in hydraulic and fluid system plumbing. It connects a 37-degree flared tube end to a female NPTF port, providing a leak-resistant right-angle transition in steel lines. Constructed from steel, this fitting handles working pressures up to 4500 psi and temperatures up to 500 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic, pneumatic, and refrigeration-adjacent fluid systems. It is sized for a 1/2-inch tube OD with a 3/8-inch NPTF thread and is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on industrial or mechanical systems.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial fluid systems where a 90-degree directional change is needed in a steel tubing run. Typical install scenarios include hydraulic power units, machine tool plumbing, and high-pressure fluid lines where an NPTF port interface is required. The 37-degree flare angle conforms to SAE J514 standards, making it compatible with SAE-standard flared tube assemblies found in a wide range of industrial and mechanical installations.

Key Features

• 90-degree female elbow configuration for right-angle routing of steel tube lines
• 37-degree flare angle per SAE J514 for leak-resistant tube engagement
• Maximum working pressure of 4500 psi for high-pressure fluid system use
• Rated to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) for high-temperature service environments
• Flare x FNPTF end connections for direct interface with NPTF-ported components
• Meets ISO 8434-2, SAE 070203, and SAE J514 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for steel flared tube assemblies using 1/2-inch tube OD and 3/8-inch NPTF female port connections conforming to SAE J514 37-degree flare specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed pipefitter, plumber, or HVAC technician. Depressurize and isolate the fluid system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure the tube end is cut square, deburred, and properly flared to a 37-degree angle before assembly. Follow applicable fluid system codes and the fitting manufacturer torque guidance for steel-to-steel connections to avoid over-tightening and thread damage.
