Parker 10243-6-6 Hydraulic Hose Female Rigid Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER 10243-6-6 is a female rigid hose fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies in industrial and mobile equipment applications. Built from steel with a straight shape and threaded NPTF connection, this fitting attaches directly to the hose end to form a secure, leak-resistant joint. It accommodates a hose inside diameter of 0.375 inches (hose size 6) and threads at 3/8-18 NPTF. Overall installed length is 2.32 inches. The 7/8-inch hex allows for proper torque with standard wrenches. This is a Series 43 fitting intended for professional installation by hydraulic system technicians and fluid power specialists.

This fitting is suited for use in hydraulic plumbing circuits found in industrial machinery, mobile equipment, and fluid power systems. It is engineered for use with a wide range of Parker hose series, making it a versatile connection component where a straight female rigid end is required at a 3/8-inch hose port.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power specialist. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before disassembling any fittings or hose ends. Use a calibrated torque wrench and follow Parker assembly tooling guidelines for Series 43 fittings to achieve proper crimp or swage engagement. Inspect threads and sealing surfaces for damage before assembly, and verify hose compatibility by series and inside diameter before installation.
