Parker PT-00171 Steel Flared Tube Connector 5/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00171 is a steel flared tube connector designed for use in high-pressure fluid and gas tubing systems. It features a 37-degree flare angle with flare x flare end connections, making it compatible with standard JIC-style flared tubing assemblies. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 5000 psi, this connector is built for demanding service conditions where leak-free tube joints are critical. With a tube OD of 5/8 inch, it fits common tubing sizes used across HVAC, hydraulic, and refrigeration piping installations. Licensed trades including HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and plumbers rely on this type of fitting for secure, metal-to-metal tube connections.

This connector is suited for residential and commercial applications where 37-degree flared tube fittings are specified. Typical installations include hydraulic lines, refrigerant piping, fuel systems, and other pressurized fluid circuits that require a rigid, reusable metal-to-metal flare joint. The flare x flare configuration allows direct tube-to-tube connection without additional adapters. Each package contains 2 connectors, making it practical for jobs requiring matched pairs or spare inventory on the truck.

• Sold in packages of 2 for convenient stocking and paired installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for applications requiring a 37-degree flare x flare steel tube connector with a 5/8 inch tube OD and a maximum working pressure rating of 5000 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician, pipefitter, or plumber familiar with flared tube fitting assembly. Always depressurize and isolate the system before removing or installing any tube fittings. Use a calibrated flaring tool to ensure the tube end is properly formed to the 37-degree angle before assembly, as an improper flare is a leading cause of joint leakage. Follow applicable codes such as the IFGC or relevant ASME B31 piping standards for the specific fluid service involved.
