Parker 13956-4-4 Female Jic Swivel 90 Elbow 6000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 13956-4-4 is a short drop female JIC swivel 90 degree elbow fitting designed for use in hydraulic hose assemblies. Rated to 6000 psi, this steel fitting connects a 1/4 inch hose to a 7/16-20 JIC female swivel thread. The 90 degree elbow configuration routes hose lines in tight spaces where a straight fitting would not clear surrounding components. It belongs to Parker Series 56 and is installed by hydraulic technicians and mobile equipment mechanics assembling or repairing high-pressure hydraulic circuits.

This fitting is suited for high-pressure hydraulic systems found in mobile equipment, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and industrial machinery applications. The short drop elbow profile keeps hose routing close to bulkheads and manifolds. The swivel design allows the hose to be positioned without twisting the hose body during assembly. A 9/16 inch hex provides a consistent wrench flat for installation and removal.

Key Features

• 6000 psi pressure rating for high-pressure hydraulic service
• Female JIC swivel end allows hose positioning without body twist
• Short drop elbow profile for tight routing near bulkheads and manifolds
• 7/16-20 JIC thread size for standard hydraulic line connections
• Steel construction for durability in demanding hydraulic environments
• 9/16 inch hex flat for easy torque with standard wrenches

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4 inch hydraulic hose in Parker Series 56 hose fitting applications requiring a short drop female JIC swivel 90 degree elbow end connection at 7/16-20 thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and fully relieve hydraulic system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Inspect JIC seating surfaces for nicks or damage before assembly, as surface defects compromise the metal-to-metal JIC seal. Do not over-tighten — follow the fitting manufacturer torque guidelines for 7/16-20 JIC connections and use the swivel feature to align hose routing before final tightening.
