Parker KP17704 Steel Flared Tube Male Elbow 1-1/4 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER KP17704 is a 90-degree male elbow tube fitting designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid power lines. Machined from steel, it connects a 37-degree flared tube to a male NPTF threaded port. The fitting handles up to 2500 psi working pressure and temperatures up to 500 degrees F, making it appropriate for demanding industrial and mobile hydraulic applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic system technicians install this type of fitting when routing hard lines through tight-angle changes in pressurized fluid circuits.

This elbow is used in hydraulic systems, fuel lines, and fluid power assemblies where a 90-degree directional change is required between a flared tube and an NPT-threaded port. Typical installations include industrial machinery, mobile equipment, and OEM fluid circuit assemblies. The NPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying solely on thread sealant. The 37-degree flare end conforms to SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards, ensuring compatibility with standard JIC flare fittings in the same tube OD.

Key Features

• 90-degree male elbow configuration for right-angle tube routing
• 37-degree flare angle per SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards
• Steel construction rated to 2500 psi maximum working pressure
• Temperature range up to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C)
• Flare x MNPTF end connections for tube-to-port transitions
• NPTF thread standard provides pressure-tight metal-to-metal seal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for hydraulic and fluid power systems requiring a 1-1/4 inch OD, 37-degree flared tube connection to a male NPTF port in a 90-degree elbow configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or hydraulic technician. Always depressurize and de-energize the system completely before removing or installing any hydraulic fitting. Inspect the flare seat and NPTF threads for damage before assembly. NPTF threads are designed for dry or minimal-sealant assembly, but always follow the equipment manufacturer's sealing recommendations and applicable fluid system codes.
