Value Collection 10548 Steel Flared Tube Connector 5/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 10548 is a steel flared tube connector designed for hydraulic and fluid-transfer line assemblies where a leak-free, high-integrity connection is required. The fitting features a 37-degree flare on one end and an O-ring boss (ORB) thread on the other, accommodating a 5/8-inch tube OD with a thread specification of 7/8-14 on the flare side and 3/4-16 on the ORB side. This connector is installed by hydraulic technicians, plumbers, and industrial mechanics working on fluid power systems, lubrication circuits, and related tubing assemblies. It ships in a package quantity of 2.

This connector is suited for applications in residential and commercial fluid-transfer systems, hydraulic power units, and industrial machinery where steel construction is required for durability and pressure resistance. The 37-degree flare end conforms to the JIC standard, making it a common choice when connecting steel tubing to ORB-ported components such as pumps, valves, manifolds, and cylinders. Licensed hydraulic technicians and mechanical contractors routinely specify this fitting type in both mobile and stationary hydraulic circuits.

Key Features

• 37-degree flare end conforms to JIC fitting geometry for a metal-to-metal seal
• O-ring boss (ORB) thread on the opposing end provides positive sealing at the port
• 5/8-inch tube OD accommodates standard mid-size hydraulic and fluid-transfer tubing
• Steel construction for strength and compatibility with petroleum-based and water-glycol hydraulic fluids
• Thread size 7/8-14 x 3/4-16 matches widely used JIC-to-ORB connector dimensions
• Package quantity of 2 supports single-job or small-batch service needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard JIC 37-degree flare to ORB connector for use in steel hydraulic and fluid-transfer tubing assemblies requiring a 5/8-inch tube OD and 7/8-14 x 3/4-16 thread configuration.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and drain the hydraulic or fluid system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect the flare seat and ORB port for nicks, burrs, or contamination before assembly. The ORB end requires a properly seated O-ring at the boss port — do not overtighten, as this can damage the O-ring and compromise the seal. Follow the equipment manufacturer and applicable industry standards for torque procedures and fluid-compatibility verification.
