Parker 23942-4-4 Female Jic Swivel 90 Elbow 1/4 in 6000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 23942-4-4 is a short drop female JIC swivel 90-degree elbow fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. It connects a 1/4-inch hose to a female JIC swivel port at a 90-degree angle, allowing hose routing in tight or confined spaces without sharp bends. Constructed from steel, the fitting is rated to 6,000 psi working pressure. The 7/16-20 thread size conforms to JIC 37-degree flare standards. This type of fitting is commonly assembled by hydraulic technicians, mobile equipment mechanics, and industrial maintenance professionals building or repairing high-pressure hydraulic lines.

This fitting is suited for mobile hydraulic systems, industrial equipment, and agricultural machinery where hose drop clearance is limited and a low-profile 90-degree connection is required. The short drop elbow geometry reduces the overall hose assembly footprint compared to a standard 90-degree elbow, making it useful in crowded valve banks, cylinder ports, and pump manifolds. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard 1/4-inch hydraulic hose rated for high-pressure service.

Key Features

• Short drop elbow geometry for compact hose routing in confined installations
• 6,000 psi working pressure rating for high-pressure hydraulic circuits
• Female JIC swivel end allows for easy alignment and assembly without twisting the hose
• 7/16-20 JIC 37-degree flare thread for broad compatibility with JIC-ported components
• Steel construction for strength and durability in demanding hydraulic environments
• 90-degree elbow angle redirects hose flow cleanly to reduce stress at the fitting connection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-assembly fitting for 1/4-inch hydraulic hose systems using JIC 37-degree flare connections with a 7/16-20 thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or mechanic. Depressurize and fully shut down the hydraulic system before removing or installing any fitting. Hand-tighten the swivel nut to seat the 37-degree flare, then torque to the fitting manufacturer's specification using a crow-foot or open-end wrench — do not use the hose assembly to apply torque. Inspect the JIC seat for nicks or contamination before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection.
