Parker KP46761 Male Orfs Swivel Fitting 0.5 in Steel

Product Description

The PARKER KP46761 is a male O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) swivel fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. Manufactured from steel and built to the Seal-Lok standard, this straight, threaded fitting accepts a 0.5 inch inside diameter, size 8 hose and uses a 1/2 inch thread. The swivel design allows the hose to be positioned during installation without twisting the assembly. At 2.42 inches overall length, it fits within tight routing spaces common in mobile and industrial hydraulic circuits. Licensed hydraulic technicians and fluid power specialists install this fitting in applications requiring a reliable, leak-resistant face seal connection.

This fitting is suited for moderate- to high-pressure hydraulic hose assemblies in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid power systems. It is intended for use with hose sizes requiring a 1/2 inch ORFS male swivel termination. The straight configuration makes it a direct-connect option where inline routing is required. The Seal-Lok face seal design reduces the risk of leakage compared to tapered thread connections, making it appropriate for systems where fluid containment is critical.

Key Features

• Male ORFS swivel configuration allows hose rotation during make-up without twisting the hose body
• Seal-Lok face seal design provides a reliable, low-leak connection at the fitting interface
• Steel construction suited for hydraulic service environments
• Straight shape for inline hose-to-port routing
• 1/2 inch thread size with 0.5 inch (size 8) hose inside diameter
• Compliant with SAE J516 and subject to California Proposition 65 requirements

Designed for use with Parker hose series 187 TC ST, 302, 304, 387 TC ST, 422, 424, 426, 436, 471TC, 471ST, 472TC, 482TC, 482ST, 487 TC ST, 722 TC ST, 787 TC ST, 797 TC ST, and 881 hoses in size 8 (0.5 inch inside diameter).

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power specialist. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before disassembling any fittings or hose ends. Clean all mating surfaces and inspect the O-ring face seal for damage before assembly. Follow SAE J516 assembly guidelines for proper make-up and do not over-torque the swivel nut, as ORFS connections rely on face contact rather than thread interference for sealing.
