Value Collection C34182 Steel Flared Tube Connector

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C34182 is a steel flared tube connector designed for hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer line assemblies. It connects a 37-degree flare end to a National Pipe Taper Fuel (NPTF) threaded port, creating a leak-resistant seal without additional sealant in properly machined fittings. The connector accepts 3/4 inch tube OD and is manufactured from steel for durability in demanding service environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and fluid-system technicians use this fitting when transitioning between flared tubing and NPTF-threaded components in fuel, hydraulic, or refrigerant-adjacent line sets.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial fluid-system applications where 37-degree flare connections are specified. Typical install scenarios include fuel line assemblies, hydraulic control circuits, and compressed-air distribution systems that terminate at NPTF-ported valves, manifolds, or equipment housings. The 37-degree flare angle conforms to SAE J514 standards, which are widely called out in industrial and mobile hydraulic specifications.

Key Features

• 37-degree flare angle conforms to SAE J514 for broad industry compatibility
• Flare x NPTF end configuration transitions flared tubing to standard tapered fuel pipe threads
• Steel construction handles pressure and temperature cycles common in fluid-transfer lines
• 3/4 inch tube OD sizing fits standard tube stock used in plumbing and hydraulic assemblies
• NPTF thread standard provides a dry-seal mechanical connection at the pipe-thread end

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for fluid-transfer systems that specify a 37-degree flare-to-NPTF connector at 3/4 inch tube OD.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or hydraulic technicians. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Inspect the flare seat and NPTF threads for damage before assembly; a compromised seat or thread form will prevent a proper seal. Follow applicable codes such as IFGC for fuel-gas applications or relevant hydraulic system standards for torque and assembly procedures.
