Parker KP103991 Hydraulic Hose Swivel Fitting 8mm 7/8-18

Product Description

The PARKER KP103991 is a male swivel fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. It accepts an 8 mm hose size with a 1/2-inch hose diameter and connects via a 7/8-18 male thread. Constructed from steel, this fitting provides the mechanical strength and pressure resistance required in hydraulic fluid power systems. Swivel-style fittings allow rotational movement at the connection point, reducing hose stress and simplifying routing during installation. This fitting is suited for use by hydraulic system technicians and fluid power specialists working on mobile or industrial equipment.

This fitting is used in hydraulic hose assemblies where a male swivel end connection is required at the hose termination point. Typical applications include mobile hydraulic equipment, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and industrial fluid power systems. The 7/8-18 thread designation follows SAE straight thread standards common in hydraulic plumbing. The package quantity is 2 fittings per pack, making it practical for job-site use or bench assembly work.
