Parker 1B243-6-6 Bspp Swivel 90 Elbow Hose Fitting 8000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 1B243-6-6 is a female BSP parallel pipe swivel 90-degree elbow fitting with a 60-degree cone seat, designed for high-pressure hydraulic hose assemblies. It carries a maximum working pressure of 8,000 psi and accepts a 3/8-inch hose inside diameter (hose size 6). The fitting is machined from steel with BSPP threaded connection, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic circuits where a right-angle transition is required. A licensed hydraulic technician or fluid power mechanic typically installs this component in mobile or industrial hydraulic systems.

This fitting is used in applications requiring a swivel 90-degree elbow at the hose termination point, allowing the hose to route perpendicular to the port without twisting the hose body. The swivel design simplifies installation and reduces stress on the hose assembly during routing. Per the supplier specifications, this fitting is compatible with Parker hose series 187 (TC, ST), 302, 304, 387 (TC, ST), 422, 424, 426, 436, 471TC, 471ST, 472TC, 482TC, 482ST, 487 (TC, ST), 722 (TC, ST), 787 (TC, ST), 797 (TC, ST), and 881 hoses.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified fluid power mechanic or hydraulic technician. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit fully before removing or installing any hose fitting. Use appropriate thread sealant compatible with BSPP parallel threads and torque to the fitting manufacturer specifications using calibrated hydraulic fitting wrenches. Inspect the 60-degree cone seat and mating surface for damage before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint.
