Value Collection 16438 Steel 45 Deg Flared Tube Elbow 3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 16438 is a steel 45-degree flared tube elbow designed for hydraulic and fluid-power plumbing applications. It features a 3/4-inch tube outside diameter and a 37-degree flare angle, connecting a flared tube end to an O-ring boss (ORB) port. Thread size on both ends is 1-1/16-12. The steel construction provides durability in moderate-pressure environments. This fitting is installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic technicians routing tubing through tight angular changes in a system while maintaining a leak-resistant flare-to-ORB seal.

This elbow fitting is used in hydraulic systems, fluid-power circuits, refrigeration lines, and industrial plumbing where a 45-degree directional change is required between a flared tube and an ORB-ported component. The flare end mates with standard 37-degree JIC-style flared tubing, while the ORB end threads directly into a straight-thread boss port for a seal-ring connection. Typical installations include machinery, mobile equipment, and stationary fluid systems requiring reliable, reusable tube connections.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow body for directional routing in tight plumbing runs
• 37-degree flare angle compatible with standard JIC-style flared tubing
• Flare x ORB end configuration for mixed-connection installations
• 1-1/16-12 thread size on both ends for consistent sizing
• Steel construction for durability in hydraulic and fluid-power service

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 37-degree flare x ORB replacement fitting for hydraulic and fluid-power plumbing systems using 3/4-inch OD tubing with 1-1/16-12 threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect the flare seat and ORB port for damage or debris before assembly. Follow applicable system pressure ratings and relevant industry standards when selecting and torquing fittings.
