Parker KP17683 Steel 45 Deg Flared Tube Elbow 5/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER KP17683 is a 45-degree flared tube elbow fitting manufactured from steel, designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid-line applications. It connects two flared tube ends at a 45-degree angle using a 37-degree flare seat, conforming to SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards. The fitting handles working pressures up to 5000 psi and temperatures up to 500 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding industrial and mobile hydraulic systems. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or hydraulic system technicians working with steel tubing assemblies.

This elbow fitting is used in hydraulic lines, fluid power systems, and high-pressure tubing runs where a 45-degree directional change is required. It accepts 5/8-inch tube OD on both ends with a flare x flare end connection, providing a leak-resistant metal-to-metal seal. Typical applications include mobile equipment hydraulics, industrial machinery fluid lines, and OEM tube assembly fabrication where SAE-compliant fittings are specified.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow configuration with 37-degree flare seat on both ends
• Rated for 5000 psi maximum working pressure
• Rated for temperatures up to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C)
• Flare x flare end connection for metal-to-metal seal integrity
• Meets ISO 8434-2, SAE J514, and SAE 070321 standards
• Steel construction for durability in high-pressure fluid service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation flared tube fitting for hydraulic and fluid power systems requiring 5/8-inch tube OD, 37-degree flare, SAE J514-compliant connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or hydraulic systems technician. Depressurize and drain the fluid line completely before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Use the appropriate flaring tool to ensure a proper 37-degree flare on the tube end before assembly. Do not overtighten; follow SAE J514 assembly procedures for flared fittings to avoid seat deformation and leaks.
