Parker 8 Tlfa Gauge Tubing Making Gauge Flat-face Orfs

Product Description

The PARKER 8 TLFA GAUGE is a compression tube Fastseal tubing making gauge designed to verify and form tube ends to the correct geometry for O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) flat-face connections. Built from steel, it provides the dimensional reference needed to confirm proper tube end preparation before assembly. This gauge is used during tube fabrication to ensure leak-free mating with ORFS flat-face fittings. It is a hand tool used in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid power plumbing applications by pipefitters, fluid power technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals working with Parker Fastseal tube fitting systems.

This tubing making gauge is intended for use in industrial and commercial fluid power installations where Parker Fastseal tube fittings are specified. It supports proper tube end preparation, which is critical for achieving a reliable seal at ORFS flat-face connections. The gauge is particularly suited for field fabrication and shop assembly environments where consistent tube end geometry must be verified before fittings are torqued to final position. It is specified for use with the Parker 8 TLFA-S fitting family.

Key Features

• Verifies correct tube end geometry for ORFS flat-face connections before final assembly
• Steel construction for durability in shop and field use
• Compatible end connections: Flat-Face, ORFS, and tube end configurations
• Compact form factor suitable for field fabrication work
• Sold individually, single-piece package quantity

Compatibility

Designed for use with the Parker 8 TLFA-S fitting. Suitable for tube end preparation verification in Parker Fastseal ORFS flat-face tube fitting assemblies.

Installation Notes

This gauge is a tube end verification tool and does not require mechanical installation into a system. Power down and depressurize any hydraulic or pneumatic circuit before inspecting or reworking tube ends. Use the gauge before final torque is applied to confirm proper tube end form and seating face condition. Tube fabrication and fitting assembly should follow the fitting manufacturer's published procedures and applicable fluid power system standards.
