Parker BD2188-16-16 Hydraulic Hose 90 Degree Elbow

Product Description

The PARKER BD2188-16-16 is a 90-degree elbow hydraulic hose fitting designed to change flow direction in high-pressure hydraulic lines. Machined from steel, this male NPTF fitting connects to hoses with a 1-inch inside diameter and uses a 1-11/2 NPTF thread for a pressure-tight, dryseal connection without the need for thread sealant tape. It is sized at hose size 16 per Parker's dash sizing convention. Licensed hydraulic technicians and fluid power mechanics install this type of fitting during equipment assembly, repair, or line reconfiguration on mobile and industrial hydraulic systems.

This elbow fitting is suited for use in hydraulic plumbing where a 90-degree change in line direction is required and inline space is limited. Typical applications include mobile equipment such as excavators, loaders, and agricultural machinery, as well as stationary industrial hydraulic power units. The male NPTF thread form is widely used in North American hydraulic and fluid power systems and mates with standard NPTF female ports on valves, cylinders, and manifolds.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow configuration allows direction changes in tight hydraulic plumbing layouts
• Male NPTF thread provides a dryseal connection that resists leakage under pressure without additional sealant
• Steel construction offers durability in demanding hydraulic environments
• 1-inch hose diameter (hose size 16) suits medium-to-large bore hydraulic line assemblies
• 1-11/2 NPTF thread size compatible with standard North American hydraulic porting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hydraulic hose fitting for use with 1-inch inside diameter hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a 90-degree male NPTF elbow connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power mechanic. Depressurize and lock out the hydraulic system completely before removing or installing any fittings. NPTF dryseal threads are designed to seal on the threads themselves; inspect threads for damage before assembly and avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or distort ports. Follow equipment manufacturer torque guidelines and applicable fluid power standards during assembly.
