Parker PT-00074 Steel Flared Tube Reducer 1 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00074 is a steel flared tube reducer designed for use in high-pressure fluid and gas line assemblies. It connects two flared tube ends of differing sizes, transitioning from a 1-inch outside diameter tube to a smaller 5/8-inch thread, with a standard 37-degree flare angle on both ends. Rated to 4,500 psi maximum working pressure, this reducer is built for demanding hydraulic and pneumatic applications where leak-free performance at elevated pressures is required. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and hydraulic system technicians working on metal tubing runs.

This fitting is suited for use in refrigeration, HVAC, hydraulic, and industrial fluid systems that require a tube size reduction within a flared connection assembly. The 37-degree flare geometry is a widely used standard in these trades, making this reducer compatible with other standard 37-degree flared components in the same line. It is typically installed inline during new construction or repair of tubing runs where a diameter change is needed without switching connection type.

Key Features

• 37-degree flare angle on both ends for standard Flare x Flare connections
• Maximum working pressure of 4,500 psi for high-pressure system use
• 1-inch outside diameter tube connection with 5/8-inch threaded reduction
• Steel construction for durability in demanding fluid and gas service
• Sold in packages of 2 units per order

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for systems using standard 37-degree flare tube connections with a 1-inch tube outside diameter inlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, HVAC technician, or hydraulic systems technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing any existing fittings or installing this reducer. Use a proper flaring tool to ensure the mating tube ends are formed to the correct 37-degree angle before making up the connection. Do not overtighten flare nuts, as this can deform the flare seat and result in leaks.
