Parker 13943-4-4 Female Jic Swivel 90 Elbow Hose Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER 13943-4-4 is a short drop female JIC swivel 90-degree elbow hose fitting designed for use in hydraulic fluid power systems. Machined from steel, this Series 43 fitting connects a hydraulic hose to a JIC-threaded port at a 90-degree angle, allowing routing in tight or confined spaces where a straight fitting will not clear adjacent components. The hose inside diameter is 0.25 inches (1/4 inch, Hose Size 4), and the thread size is 7/16-20 UNF. The swivel design allows the hose end to rotate during assembly, reducing torsional stress on the hose during installation and service. Licensed hydraulic technicians and industrial mechanics install this type of fitting in mobile equipment, machinery, and fluid power circuits.

This fitting is intended for use in hydraulic systems where a low-profile 90-degree transition from hose to a female JIC threaded port is required. It is rated for use with a wide range of Parker hydraulic hose series, making it a practical stocking item for service and repair work. Typical applications include mobile hydraulic equipment, industrial machinery, and agricultural equipment hydraulic circuits where hose routing around frames or enclosures demands an elbow configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or mechanic familiar with fluid power systems. Always depressurize and fully de-energize the hydraulic circuit before removing or installing any fittings. Use appropriate assembly tools to achieve proper thread engagement without overtightening, which can damage the JIC sealing surfaces. Verify hose and fitting compatibility and confirm the system pressure rating before returning the circuit to service.
