Parker 8 Vlo-s 45 Degree Male Elbow Orfs X Nptf 6000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 8 VLO-S is a 45-degree male elbow compression tube fitting designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid system connections. It connects a 1/2-inch OD tube to a male NPTF port using an O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) interface on the tube side, creating a leak-resistant joint rated to 6000 psi maximum working pressure. Constructed from zinc-plated steel, this fitting resists corrosion in demanding industrial and mobile hydraulic environments. It is sized at 3/8-18 threads per the NPTF standard. Hydraulic technicians and fluid power mechanics install this fitting when routing tubing at a 45-degree angle off a straight port.

This fitting is suited for mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and hydraulic power units where high-pressure tube-to-port transitions are required. The ORFS connection style is common in systems where vibration and pressure spikes demand a reliable, metal-to-metal seal backed by an O-ring. The NPTF port end provides a dry-seal threaded connection without relying solely on thread sealant. Typical applications include construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and stationary hydraulic systems requiring angled tube routing at the port.

Key Features

• 45-degree male elbow orientation for angled tube-to-port routing
• O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) tube end for leak-resistant high-pressure connections
• NPTF male port end with dry-seal thread form
• 6000 psi maximum working pressure rating
• 1/2-inch tube outside diameter compatibility
• Zinc-plated steel construction for corrosion resistance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic systems using 1/2-inch OD tubing with ORFS connections at a 3/8-18 NPTF ported component.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fitting. Inspect the O-ring and seating face for damage before assembly, and apply compatible hydraulic fluid or O-ring lubricant to the O-ring prior to torquing. Follow system manufacturer torque specifications and applicable industry standards for ORFS and NPTF connections.
