Parker PT-00175 Steel Flared Tube Connector 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00175 is a steel flared tube connector designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid power applications. It features a 37-degree flare angle with flare x flare end connections, conforming to ISO 8434-2 and SAE J514 standards. Rated to 6000 psi maximum working pressure and up to 500 degrees F, this connector is built for demanding service environments. The fitting accepts 3/8 inch tube OD and uses 3/8 x 3/8 thread sizing. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and fluid power mechanics install this type of fitting when joining two flared tube lines in a straight-run configuration.

This connector is suited for residential and commercial installations where steel flare fittings are required in hydraulic lines, refrigeration circuits, or fuel systems. The 37-degree flare design is common in JIC-style hydraulic assemblies and SAE-compliant fluid power plumbing. It is typically installed in-line where two flared tube ends must be joined without a change in direction. The 1.5 inch overall length keeps the assembly compact in tight panel or equipment enclosures.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for systems requiring SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 compliant 37-degree flare connectors with 3/8 inch tube OD.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with hydraulic or fluid power system assembly. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any flare fitting. Use a properly sized flare nut wrench to avoid rounding the fitting hex. Follow SAE J514 torque and assembly guidelines for 37-degree JIC-style flare connections.
