Parker KP46760 Male Orfs Swivel Fitting 3/8 Inch Steel

Product Description

The PARKER KP46760 is a male O-ring face seal (ORFS) swivel fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. Built from steel and featuring Parker's Seal-Lok interface, it provides a leak-resistant threaded connection on hydraulic lines where vibration or movement could compromise static fittings. The swivel design allows the fitting to rotate during assembly, reducing hose twist and simplifying installation in tight or awkward plumbing runs. With a hose inside diameter of 0.375 inches and a 3/8-inch thread size, this straight fitting suits a wide range of medium-pressure hydraulic circuits. Licensed hydraulic technicians and fluid power specialists are the typical installers.

The KP46760 is used in industrial and mobile hydraulic systems where ORFS connections are specified for leak-free performance. The straight configuration suits inline hose-to-port connections on pumps, cylinders, valves, and manifolds. It is compatible with Parker Series 43 hose fittings and is sold in a package quantity of two, making it practical for repair kits or paired-end assembly work. The Seal-Lok shaft type ensures metal-to-metal backup seating alongside the O-ring face seal for added joint integrity under pressure cycling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified fluid power technician or hydraulic system mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Inspect the O-ring face seal and mating port face for nicks, burrs, or contamination before assembly. Torque the fitting per the system designer's specification and always follow applicable SAE J516 assembly guidelines for ORFS connections.
