Parker KP46820 Female Seal-lok Swivel 90 Deg Elbow 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER KP46820 is a female Seal-Lok swivel 90-degree elbow hose fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. Manufactured from steel, this fitting accepts a 3/8-inch hose inside diameter and connects via threaded engagement using the Seal-Lok interface, which provides a leak-resistant face seal connection. The 90-degree elbow geometry allows hose routing in tight or confined equipment spaces without stressing the hose. This is a Series 43 fitting intended for use in hydraulic fluid-power systems and is typically installed by hydraulic technicians and fluid-power mechanics working on industrial or mobile equipment.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic hose assembly applications where a 90-degree swivel elbow transition is required. The Seal-Lok swivel feature allows the hose end to be positioned during assembly without twisting the hose body. Compatible hose series listed by the manufacturer include 187, TC, ST, 302, 304, 387, 422, 424, 426, 436, 471TC, 471ST, 472TC, 482TC, 482ST, 487, 722, 787, 797, and 881 hoses. This range covers a broad set of Parker hydraulic hose constructions commonly found in industrial and mobile hydraulic circuits.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Parker hydraulic hoses including series 187, TC, ST, 302, 304, 387, 422, 424, 426, 436, 471TC, 471ST, 472TC, 482TC, 482ST, 487, 722, 787, 797, and 881, as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid-power mechanic. Depressurize and bleed down the hydraulic system completely before removing or installing any hose fittings. Inspect the Seal-Lok face seal surface for nicks or debris before assembly, as surface damage can cause leakage. Follow the fitting manufacturer torque specifications published in their assembly documentation, and verify the swivel nut seats correctly against the face seal before torquing.
