Parker 926876 Spin-on Breather Adapter Npt Threaded

Product Description

The PARKER 926876 is a spin-on breather adapter designed to integrate spin-on style breather elements into hydraulic or pneumatic reservoir systems. It features a threaded NPT connection, allowing it to mount directly into a reservoir port or manifold. The adapter provides a secure, leak-resistant interface between the reservoir and the breather element, protecting the system from airborne contamination during fluid displacement caused by temperature cycling or actuator movement. Weighing 0.2 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting suited for both industrial and mobile equipment applications. Installation is typically performed by hydraulic technicians or fluid power specialists.

This adapter is used in hydraulic power units, fluid reservoirs, and pneumatic storage tanks where a spin-on breather element must be threaded into a port. It is appropriate for both stationary industrial machinery and mobile equipment platforms. The NPT threaded connection makes it compatible with standard North American pipe-thread ported reservoirs and manifolds. This type of adapter is commonly installed during new system builds or as a replacement when upgrading from a fixed or press-fit breather mount to a serviceable spin-on configuration.

Key Features

• Spin-on breather type for easy element removal and replacement without tools
• NPT threaded connection for compatibility with standard North American pipe-thread ports
• Threaded connection type provides a secure, leak-resistant seat
• Lightweight at 0.2 pounds, suitable for compact reservoir installations
• Single-unit packaging supports individual replacement or repair jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade adapter for hydraulic and pneumatic reservoirs equipped with NPT-threaded breather ports accepting spin-on style breather elements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power specialist. Depressurize and de-energize the system and allow fluid to cool before removing any reservoir fittings or breather ports. Apply appropriate thread sealant compatible with the system fluid when making NPT connections. Do not overtighten threaded NPT fittings, as this can crack the port boss or damage the adapter threads.
