Parker BH4-60 Female Pipe Rigid Hydraulic Fitting 1/2 in

Product Description

The PARKER BH4-60 is a female pipe rigid hydraulic hose fitting designed for demanding fluid and gas transfer applications. Machined from brass with a straight body and NPTF threaded connection, this fitting provides a leak-resistant seal without the need for sealant tape in properly mated threads. It carries a maximum working pressure of 3,500 psi and handles temperatures from -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F. With a 1/2 inch hose size and 1/2 inch thread size, it suits a wide range of industrial and mobile equipment hydraulic lines. Licensed hydraulic technicians and industrial mechanics are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

The BH4-60 is rated for use across multiple fluid and gas handling environments, including industrial hydraulic lines, mobile equipment circuits, food and chemical processing systems, water and coolant lines, and compressed gas service. Its brass construction resists corrosion in both aqueous and mild chemical service, making it a practical choice where steel fittings are not preferred. The straight configuration simplifies routing in tight plumbing layouts, and the NPTF thread form ensures pressure-tight engagement in standard pipe thread ports.

Key Features

• Maximum working pressure of 3,500 psi for high-pressure hydraulic service
• NPTF threaded connection for a pressure-tight pipe thread seal
• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance in chemical, water, and gas lines
• Operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Straight body shape simplifies installation in space-constrained plumbing runs
• Meets ISO 7241-1 Series B standards

Compatibility

Rated for use with food and chemical processing systems, compressed gases, industrial hydraulic lines, mobile equipment circuits, and water and coolant lines. Part of the Parker Series 60 hydraulic fitting family.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or industrial mechanic. Depressurize and drain the hydraulic or fluid system fully before removing or installing any fitting. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the threads themselves; inspect threads for damage before assembly and verify torque with fitting manufacturer guidelines. Verify that the replacement fitting material and pressure rating are compatible with the system fluid, operating pressure, and temperature range before putting the system back into service.
