Parker PT-00273 Ss Flared Tube Male Adapter 3/8 in 1/8-27

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00273 is a stainless steel flared tube male adapter designed for high-pressure fluid and gas line connections in demanding industrial, HVAC, and refrigeration applications. It accepts a 3/8 inch tube OD with a 37-degree flare seat on one end and a 1/8-27 NPTF threaded male connection on the other. The fitting is rated to 3,300 psi static working pressure and handles temperatures from -425 degrees F to 1,200 degrees F, making it suitable for cryogenic, high-temperature, and general-purpose hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Licensed HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and industrial mechanics typically specify this fitting for tubing assemblies that require a leak-free, vibration-resistant flared joint.

This adapter is used wherever a flared tube line must transition to a NPTF port on a valve body, manifold, compressor, or equipment housing. The 37-degree flare angle conforms to SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards, so it is compatible with standard SAE 37-degree flare tube assemblies in residential and commercial HVAC equipment, refrigeration circuits, hydraulic systems, and precision fluid handling lines. The overall installed length is 1.24 inches, making it appropriate for tight-clearance panel or bulkhead installations. Each package contains 2 fittings.

Key Features

• 37-degree flare seat on tube end for leak-free, vibration-resistant connection per SAE J514
• 1/8-27 NPTF male thread provides a dry-seal pressure-tight port connection
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in refrigerant, hydraulic fluid, and aggressive media environments
• Rated to 3,300 psi static and 6,000 psi dynamic working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -425 degrees F to 1,200 degrees F covers cryogenic through high-heat service
• Meets ISO 8434-2, SAE 070102, and SAE J514 standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8 inch OD tubing assemblies terminating in a 37-degree SAE flare, connecting to equipment ports with 1/8-27 NPTF threads. Conforms to SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 flare fitting standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, HVAC technician, or hydraulic systems technician familiar with flared tube assembly practices. Depressurize and isolate the system fully before disassembling any existing fittings or installing this adapter. Flare the tube to the correct 37-degree angle using a quality flaring tool before seating the fitting, as an improperly formed flare is a leading cause of joint leakage. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the thread form itself; verify thread engagement and do not overtighten, as stainless steel fittings are susceptible to galling.
