Parker 20620-8-8 Hydraulic Female Swivel Fitting 1/2 in

Product Description

The PARKER 20620-8-8 is a female swivel fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies in fluid power systems. Built from steel with a straight shape, this Series 20 fitting features a 3/4-16 threaded female JIC connection and accepts hoses with a 0.5-inch (1/2 inch) inside diameter, corresponding to hose size 8. With an overall length of 2.79 inches, the swivel design allows the fitting to rotate during installation, reducing torsional stress on the hose and simplifying routing in tight spaces. It is installed by hydraulic system technicians and fluid power mechanics in industrial, mobile, and agricultural equipment applications. The fitting is manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality standards.

This fitting is used wherever a reliable female JIC threaded termination is needed on a size-8 hydraulic hose. The straight configuration suits direct in-line connections at pumps, cylinders, valves, and manifolds. It is common in both stationary industrial hydraulic circuits and mobile equipment such as loaders, excavators, and agricultural machinery. The swivel feature makes it especially useful in applications where hose alignment is constrained or where the hose must be installed without twisting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use the appropriate JIC flare seat inspection to confirm the mating surface is clean and undamaged before assembly. Do not over-torque the swivel nut; refer to the applicable fluid power standards and the hose assembly manufacturer guidelines for proper assembly procedure.
