Parker PT-00179 Steel Flared Tube Connector 5/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00179 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 a standard JIC-style fitting used in tube assemblies where a leak-resistant metal-to-metal seat is required. The connector accepts a 5/8 inch tube OD with a 1/2 x 5/8 thread and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 5000 psi. This fitting is installed by hydraulic technicians, plumbers, and HVAC mechanics working on tubing runs that require reliable, reusable connections in demanding pressure environments.

This connector is suited for use in both industrial and commercial fluid systems where steel construction and high-pressure ratings are necessary. Typical applications include hydraulic lines, refrigerant tubing assemblies, and instrumentation plumbing where 37-degree flare fittings are specified. The flare x flare configuration allows direct tube-to-tube connection without additional adapters. It is commonly used in equipment rooms, machinery installations, and mechanical systems requiring durable, pressure-rated tube connectors. Each package contains 2 pieces.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for fluid and hydraulic tube assemblies requiring a 37-degree JIC-style flare connector with a 5/8 inch tube OD and 1/2 x 5/8 thread specification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician, plumber, or mechanical trades professional. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tube ends are properly flared to a 37-degree angle using a calibrated flaring tool before assembly. Do not over-torque the fitting; consult the applicable system specifications and relevant codes such as the IPC or equipment manufacturer guidelines for proper assembly procedures.
