Parker KP103997 Hydraulic Hose Male Rigid Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER KP103997 is a male rigid hydraulic hose fitting designed for use in high-pressure hydraulic systems. It features a 7/8-14 inch thread size and is sized for an 8 mm hose with a 1/2 inch hose diameter. Constructed from steel, this fitting provides the structural integrity required for demanding hydraulic applications. The rigid male shaft type ensures a fixed, non-swivel connection at the hose end, which is appropriate where movement at the fitting junction is not required. Licensed hydraulic system technicians and industrial maintenance professionals are the typical installers of this component.

This fitting is used in hydraulic plumbing assemblies found in industrial equipment, mobile machinery, and other systems that rely on pressurized fluid transfer. It is suitable for applications requiring a secure, rigid male end connection at the hose-to-component interface. The 8 mm hose size and 7/8-14 thread specification make it appropriate for mid-range hydraulic line routing in both stationary and mobile equipment contexts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic systems technician. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit fully before removing any existing fittings or connecting this component. Use appropriate thread sealant or fittings-compatible sealing method as specified by the system manufacturer. Inspect mating port threads for damage before installation to ensure a leak-free connection.
