Parker 11L43-8-8 Nptf Swivel Elbow 90 Deg 0.5 in Id Steel

Product Description

The PARKER 11L43-8-8 is a male NPTF pipe swivel elbow fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. It features a 90-degree elbow geometry with a 0.5-inch hose inside diameter and a 1/2-inch NPTF threaded connection. Constructed from steel, this fitting is built to handle the mechanical demands of high-pressure hydraulic systems. The swivel design allows the hose to be positioned and secured without twisting the hose body during installation or routing. Licensed hydraulic system technicians and industrial maintenance mechanics are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This fitting is suited for use in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and hydraulic power unit plumbing where a 90-degree directional change is required at the hose termination. It is a Series 43 fitting compatible with a wide range of Parker hydraulic hose series. The threaded NPTF interface provides a pressure-tight seal on assembly without the need for additional sealant on most applications, though application-specific requirements should always be verified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic systems technician. Depressurize and fully isolate the hydraulic circuit before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Use appropriate crow-foot or open-end wrenches sized for the fitting hex; do not use pipe wrenches on the swivel body. Verify thread engagement and torque to the hose manufacturer and system specification requirements before returning the system to service.
