Parker 10243-8-8 Hydraulic Hose Female Rigid Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER 10243-8-8 is a female rigid straight fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. It provides a fixed, non-swiveling threaded connection at the hose end, using a 1/2-14 NPTF thread for a pressure-tight, dryseal connection without sealant tape in many applications. The fitting is machined from steel and accepts a 1/2-inch (size 8) hose inside diameter. Overall length is 2.62 inches. It is part of Parker Series 43 and is installed by hydraulic system technicians in industrial, mobile, and fluid power applications where a secure, straight hose termination is required.

This fitting is suited for use in hydraulic systems operating with Parker-compatible hose assemblies in industrial and mobile equipment environments. The NPTF thread form provides a dryseal mechanical connection, making it a practical choice for high-pressure fluid lines where thread-face sealing integrity is critical. It installs in a straight configuration, making it appropriate for inline routing where no angular offset is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician familiar with fluid power assembly standards. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before disconnecting or assembling any hose fittings. Use a calibrated torque wrench and the correct hex size to avoid deforming the fitting body or stripping the thread. Inspect thread condition and hose end preparation prior to assembly to ensure a leak-free connection.
