Value Collection C34183 Steel Flared Tube Connector

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C34183 is a steel flared tube connector designed for use in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer line assemblies. It features a 37-degree flare seat on one end and NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) threads on the other, creating a reliable, leak-resistant connection between flared tubing and threaded ports. The tube outside diameter is 3/4 inches. This type of fitting is commonly installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians working on fluid power systems, fuel lines, and process piping where a metal-to-metal seal is required.

This connector is suited for applications involving steel tubing in hydraulic circuits, fuel delivery lines, and general industrial fluid systems. The Flare x NPTF end configuration makes it a practical choice when transitioning from a flared tube run to a threaded port or valve body. It is typically used in both commercial and light industrial environments where vibration resistance and a secure threaded seal are priorities.

Key Features

• 37-degree flare seat provides a metal-to-metal seal that resists leakage under pressure
• NPTF threaded end creates a dry-seal connection without requiring additional sealant
• 3/4 inch tube outside diameter fits standard 3/4 inch flared steel tubing
• Steel construction offers durability in high-pressure and fuel-service environments
• Compact single-unit fitting suitable for tight routing configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation connector for steel tubing systems using 37-degree flare and NPTF thread standards in hydraulic, fuel, and industrial fluid-transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or hydraulic technician. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect the flare seat and NPTF threads for damage before assembly, and ensure the mating flare is formed to the correct 37-degree angle to achieve a proper metal-to-metal seal. Follow applicable industry standards and local codes for fluid system work.
