Parker BD-1C943-16-8-1 Hydraulic Hose Swivel Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER BD-1C943-16-8-1 is a straight swivel fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. It connects a metric-threaded port to a 0.5-inch inside-diameter hose using an M24x1.5 thread and a swivel design that allows rotational movement during installation to eliminate hose twist. The fitting is constructed from steel for durability in pressurized hydraulic circuits. With an overall length of 2.33 inches (59 mm), it suits compact inline connections. Licensed hydraulic technicians and fluid power specialists install this fitting in industrial and mobile hydraulic systems where a reliable, leak-resistant hose termination is required.

This fitting is rated for use in hydraulic hose assemblies running Parker Series 43 hose. It is compatible with a range of Parker hose types including 187, TC, ST, 302, 304, 387, 422, 424, 426, 436, 471TC, 471ST, 472TC, 482TC, 482ST, 487, 722, 787, 797, and 881 series hoses. The straight body geometry suits applications where hose routing runs inline with the port axis. Typical use cases include mobile equipment, construction machinery, and industrial hydraulic power units where metric-port connections are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power specialist. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use calibrated torque tooling appropriate for M24x1.5 metric fittings and follow the fitting manufacturer's assembly specifications. Inspect hose ends for proper skive and the swivel collar for free rotation before crimping or final assembly.
