Parker 8 Slo-s Male Branch Tee 6000 Psi Orfs X Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER 8 SLO-S is a compression tube male branch tee designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid systems. It features an O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) connection on one end and a 3/8-18 NPTF threaded connection, providing a leak-resistant seal suitable for demanding industrial and mobile equipment applications. Constructed from zinc-plated steel, this fitting resists corrosion while handling working pressures up to 6000 psi. It accepts 1/2 inch outside diameter tubing on the compression end. Licensed plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and fluid power specialists typically install this type of fitting in high-pressure line assemblies.

This fitting is suited for use in hydraulic fluid lines, lubrication systems, and pneumatic circuits where a branch connection must transition between ORFS and NPTF thread standards. It is commonly found in industrial machinery, mobile equipment, and fluid power systems requiring reliable sealing at high operating pressures. The zinc-plated finish adds corrosion resistance for use in environments exposed to moisture or mild contaminants.

Key Features

• Rated to 6000 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure hydraulic applications
• ORFS x NPTF end connections minimize leak paths in critical fluid circuits
• Accepts 1/2 inch outside diameter tubing on the compression connection
• Zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance and mechanical strength
• 3/8-18 NPTF thread standard ensures pressure-tight tapered thread engagement
• Sold as individual unit with no minimum quantity requirement beyond one piece

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 tubing with ORFS and NPTF connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or licensed plumber familiar with high-pressure fluid systems. Depressurize and bleed the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect the O-ring sealing surface for nicks or contamination before assembly, and ensure the NPTF threads are clean and free of debris. Follow applicable fluid power and piping codes for torque and assembly procedures specific to the system being serviced.
