Parker PT-00180 Steel Flared Tube Connector 5/8 in 37 Degree

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00180 is a steel flared tube connector designed for joining hydraulic or fluid-system tubing with matching flared ends. Built to a 37-degree flare angle and rated to 5000 psi maximum working pressure, this connector handles demanding pressure requirements in industrial and mobile hydraulic plumbing. The fitting accepts 5/8 inch OD tubing on both ends using a flare x flare end connection, creating a secure, leak-resistant joint without welding. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and hydraulic system mechanics install this type of connector during line fabrication and repair work.

This connector is suited for hydraulic lines, fuel lines, and fluid transfer plumbing where 37-degree JIC-style flare connections are standard. It is commonly used in industrial equipment, mobile machinery, and mechanical systems requiring rigid steel tube routing. The flare x flare configuration makes it appropriate for union-style connections between two fixed tube ends. Each package contains 2 pieces, making it practical for repairs requiring matching connectors at both ends of a line.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for steel hydraulic and fluid tubing systems using 37-degree JIC flare connections with 5/8 inch OD tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with hydraulic or fluid plumbing systems. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect flare seats on both mating tube ends for damage or debris before assembly, as flare-to-flare connections depend on clean, undamaged seating surfaces for a leak-free joint. Tighten fittings to manufacturer specifications using appropriate flare nut wrenches — do not use pipe wrenches on flare fittings.
