Parker BD-1L943-8-8-1 Female Jic 37 Swivel Fitting 90 Elbow

Product Description

The PARKER BD-1L943-8-8-1 is a female JIC 37-degree swivel fitting configured as a 90-degree elbow, designed for use in hydraulic hose assemblies. Machined from steel, it accepts a 1/2-inch inside diameter hose (hose size 8) and terminates with a 3/4-16 threaded JIC connection. The swivel design allows the fitting to rotate during assembly, reducing hose twist and simplifying routing in tight installations. This fitting is appropriate for hydraulic systems where directional changes are needed at the hose end. It is installed by hydraulic technicians and fluid power specialists working on mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and similar pressurized hydraulic circuits.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic hose assembly applications in both mobile and stationary equipment where a 90-degree change of direction is required at the hose-to-port connection. The female JIC 37-degree flare interface is a widely used thread form in hydraulic systems. Compatible hose series listed by the manufacturer include the 187, TC, ST, 302, 304, 387, 422, 424, 426, 436, 471TC, 471ST, 472TC, 482TC, 482ST, 487, 722, 787, 797, and 881 hose lines, making this fitting applicable across a broad range of Parker hydraulic hose products.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and drain the hydraulic system completely before removing or installing any hose fitting. Inspect mating threads and JIC flare seats for damage before assembly, and ensure correct thread engagement to maintain a leak-free seal. Follow the equipment manufacturer and applicable fluid power industry guidelines for assembly procedures and system re-commissioning.
