Parker PT-00176 Steel Flared Tube Connector 3/8 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00176 is a steel flared tube connector designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid system applications. It features a 37-degree flare angle with flare x flare end connections, making it compatible with standard JIC-style tube fittings. With a maximum working pressure of 6000 psi and a maximum working temperature of 500 degrees F, this connector is built for demanding service environments. The overall length is 1.5 inches and the outside diameter is 3/8 inch. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic system technicians in industrial, mobile, and stationary fluid power systems.

This fitting is used in hydraulic and fluid power lines where a straight inline connection between two flared tube ends is required. The 37-degree flare geometry conforms to SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards, making it suitable for use in OEM equipment assemblies, field repairs, and system fabrication across industrial and mobile equipment platforms. Each package contains 5 pieces, and the minimum order quantity is 1.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, hydraulic technician, or licensed plumber. Depressurize and isolate the fluid circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect flare seats on both mating tube ends for damage or contamination before assembly. Tighten fittings to the appropriate flat-turns-from-finger-tight method per SAE J514 guidelines; do not use thread sealant on flare-type connections.
