Parker BD-16WTX-WLNS-1 Steel Flared Tube Union 1 in

Product Description

The PARKER BD-16WTX-WLNS-1 is a steel flared tube union designed to connect two flared tube ends within a hydraulic or fluid-transfer line. Built with a 37-degree flare angle and Flare x Flare end connections, this union provides a secure, leak-resistant joint rated for up to 4000 psi maximum dynamic working pressure. It accepts 1-inch tube OD on both ends. Plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and industrial pipefitters install this fitting wherever a reliable union connection is required between two sections of flared steel tubing.

This union fitting is suited for hydraulic systems, fluid power lines, and high-pressure plumbing applications where 37-degree JIC-style flare connections are standard. Its all-steel construction makes it appropriate for use in industrial, commercial, and heavy-duty mechanical environments. Both ends accept 1-inch OD flared tubing, making it a direct union without reducing or adapting tube size.

Key Features

• 37-degree flare angle meets JIC fitting standards for reliable sealing under pressure
• Flare x Flare end connections join two sections of 1-inch OD flared tubing
• Steel construction provides durability in high-pressure fluid and hydraulic service
• Rated for up to 4000 psi maximum dynamic working pressure
• Union configuration allows in-line connection without reducing tube size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for hydraulic and fluid power systems using 1-inch OD steel tubing with 37-degree flare end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or pipefitter familiar with flared tube fitting assembly. Depressurize and drain the system fully before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Use the appropriate flare nut wrench to avoid rounding the fitting hex; do not overtighten, as this can damage the flare seats. Ensure tube ends are properly flared to 37 degrees before makeup to maintain rated working pressure.
