Parker 13956-4-3 Female Jic Swivel 90 Elbow 3/16 in 6000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 13956-4-3 is a short drop female JIC swivel 90-degree elbow fitting designed for high-pressure hydraulic hose assemblies. Made from steel, it accepts a 3/16-inch hose ID and features a 7/16-20 female JIC thread. The swivel design allows the fitting to rotate during installation, reducing hose twist and simplifying routing in tight spaces. Rated to 6,000 psi, it is built for demanding hydraulic systems found in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and agricultural applications. Part of the Parker Series 56 line, this fitting is installed by hydraulic technicians and fluid power specialists.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic hose assemblies where a 90-degree directional change is required with a short drop profile. The female JIC swivel end connects to standard 37-degree flare JIC male fittings. Its compact geometry is well-suited for installations where clearance is limited and hose routing must change direction close to the port. The 9/16-inch hex size allows use with standard open-end or combination wrenches during assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power specialist. Relieve all system pressure and depressurize the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use the 9/16-inch hex to hold the fitting body while tightening the swivel nut to avoid damaging hose assemblies. Inspect the JIC seating surface for nicks or contamination before final assembly.
