Parker P00185 Steel Flared Tube Union 1/4 in 37 Degree

Product Description

The PARKER P00185 is a steel flared tube union designed to join two flared tube lines at a 37-degree flare angle. It features flare-by-flare end connections and is built to handle high-pressure hydraulic and fluid power applications. Rated to 7500 psi maximum working pressure and up to 500 degrees F, this fitting is suited for demanding service in industrial, HVAC, and fluid handling systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic technicians install this type of fitting where a leak-free, reusable tube connection is required in high-pressure lines.

This union fitting is used in applications requiring a straight inline connection between two flared tube ends of 1/4-inch outside diameter. It is appropriate for use in hydraulic systems, refrigeration lines, fuel systems, and other fluid power circuits where the 37-degree flare standard applies. The fitting meets ISO 8434-2, SAE 070601, and SAE J514 standards, making it compatible with equipment designed to those specifications. It is sold in packages of 5 units.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for fluid power, hydraulic, and refrigeration tube assemblies using 1/4-inch OD tubing with 37-degree flare connections per SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation of flared tube fittings should be performed by a licensed pipefitter, hydraulic technician, or qualified mechanic. Always depressurize and isolate the fluid system before disconnecting or installing any fitting. Ensure tube ends are cleanly flared to the correct 37-degree angle before assembly to achieve a proper seal. Do not overtighten; consult the applicable SAE or ISO standard for torque guidance relevant to your specific application and tubing material.
