Parker 15440 Jic Female Swivel Fitting 7/16-20 3/16 in

Product Description

The PARKER 15440 is a reusable female swivel fitting designed for JIC (37-degree flare) hydraulic and fluid-transfer hose assemblies. It features a 7/16-20 inch UNF thread and accepts hose with a 3/16 inch inner diameter and 1/4 inch outer diameter. The swivel design allows the nut to rotate independently during installation, reducing hose twist and simplifying make-up in tight routing situations. This fitting is intended for reuse, meaning the field technician can disassemble, inspect, and reassemble the hose end without replacing the fitting body. It is appropriate for hydraulic, pneumatic, and general fluid-line service where JIC connections are specified.

This fitting is suited for light hydraulic lines, fuel systems, and fluid-transfer plumbing in residential and commercial equipment. Typical applications include small-bore hydraulic circuits, equipment control lines, and service hose assemblies where a 3/16 inch hose OD of 1/4 inch is called for. The JIC 37-degree flare interface provides a reliable metal-to-metal seal and is widely used in mobile equipment, HVAC controls, and industrial plumbing. Installation is performed by qualified hydraulic or plumbing technicians familiar with JIC fittings and flared-tube assemblies.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style reusable JIC female swivel fitting for small-bore hose assemblies requiring a 7/16-20 thread and 3/16 inch hose ID. Confirm hose inner and outer diameter specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic or plumbing technician. Depressurize and drain the hydraulic or fluid circuit completely before disassembling any hose fitting. Follow the fitting manufacturer assembly procedure for reusable fittings, which typically involves cutting the hose end square, lubricating the socket threads, and threading the socket onto the hose before inserting the nipple. Torque the swivel nut to the value specified in the system design documentation or applicable industry standards such as SAE J514.
