Parker PT-00065 Steel Flared Tube Reducer 1/2 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00065 is a steel flared tube reducer fitting designed to transition between different tube and thread sizes in high-pressure hydraulic and fluid line assemblies. Featuring a 37-degree flare angle and flare-by-flare end connections, this reducer accommodates a 1/2-inch tube OD with 1/2 x 3/8 thread sizing. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 6000 psi and a maximum working temperature of 500 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic, pneumatic, and fuel system applications. Licensed tradespeople and fluid power technicians install this fitting where line size reductions are needed without sacrificing pressure integrity.

This fitting is used in residential, commercial, and industrial fluid line systems where a reliable flared reducer connection is required. Typical applications include hydraulic tubing circuits, fuel delivery lines, and compressed air systems that demand a leak-free, high-pressure flare fitting at a tube OD reduction point. The 37-degree flare angle conforms to widely recognized industry standards, making it a common choice in OEM and field-service installations alike.

• Overall length of 1.5 inches supports compact inline installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for flared tube reducer applications requiring a 1/2-inch tube OD with 1/2 x 3/8 thread sizing and a 37-degree flare angle per ISO 8434-2 and SAE J514.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified fluid power technician or licensed tradesperson familiar with high-pressure tubing systems. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Ensure mating flares are properly formed and inspected for cracks or deformation before assembly. Follow SAE J514 torque and assembly procedures appropriate to the tube size and material.
