Parker 8 V5BU-S Bite-type Tube 45 Elbow 1/2 in Od Steel

Product Description

The PARKER 8 V5BU-S is a flareless bite-type tube fitting designed as a 45-degree straight thread elbow for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid power systems. This fitting connects a tube line to a straight-thread port at a 45-degree angle without requiring flared tube ends, using a ferrule bite action to create a secure, leak-resistant seal. Constructed from steel, it handles a maximum working pressure of 5,000 psi and accepts a tube outer diameter of 1/2 inch. The port thread is 3/4-16 NPTF, providing a pressure-tight mechanical seal without sealant tape in most applications. Fluid power technicians and hydraulic system installers work with this fitting in industrial and mobile equipment plumbing.

This elbow fitting is suited for hydraulic lines, fluid power circuits, and high-pressure tubing runs where a directional change of 45 degrees is required at a straight-thread port. Its flareless design simplifies tube preparation, eliminating the need for a flaring tool on the tube end. It is commonly installed in industrial machinery, mobile hydraulic equipment, and fluid transfer systems where steel fittings rated for 5,000 psi are required.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry routes tube lines at a 45-degree angle to a straight-thread port
• Flareless bite-type design grips the tube with a ferrule, eliminating tube flaring
• Rated for 5,000 psi maximum working pressure
• 3/4-16 NPTF thread provides a pressure-tight port connection
• Accepts 1/2 inch tube outer diameter
• Steel construction for durability in high-pressure hydraulic service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and replacement bite-type tube fitting for hydraulic and fluid power systems using 1/2 inch OD tubing with 3/4-16 NPTF straight-thread ports rated to 5,000 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified hydraulic or fluid power technicians following system lockout and pressure-relief procedures before disconnecting any lines. Ensure the tube is cut square and deburred before inserting into the fitting for proper ferrule bite engagement. Torque the fitting nut according to the tube size and fitting manufacturer specifications found in the applicable fitting assembly instructions. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the thread form, but verify port condition and cleanliness before assembly.
