Parker KP46838 Male Sae 37 Jic Rigid Fitting 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER KP46838 is a male SAE 37-degree JIC rigid hose fitting designed for hydraulic fluid systems. It accepts a 3/8-inch hose and terminates in a 1/2-20 male SAE JIC thread, providing a leak-resistant, flared-seat connection suited to high-pressure hydraulic lines. The body is machined steel for strength and durability under the pressure cycling common in mobile and industrial hydraulic circuits. This fitting is installed by hydraulic technicians and fluid-power mechanics assembling or repairing hose assemblies on equipment, machinery, or vehicles.

This fitting is used wherever a 3/8-inch hydraulic hose must connect to a port or adapter with a 1/2-20 SAE JIC male thread. Typical applications include mobile equipment hydraulics, industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, and construction machinery hose assemblies. The rigid style means no swivel movement at the fitting body, making it appropriate for fixed-orientation connections where the hose is routed without requiring rotational alignment at the joint.

Key Features

• SAE 37-degree JIC flare seat provides a positive metal-to-metal seal resistant to vibration-induced leakage
• Compatible with 3/8-inch hydraulic hose, 6 mm hose size designation
• 1/2-20 male SAE JIC thread matches standard JIC ports and adapters
• Rigid fitting body — no swivel, suits fixed-route hose installations
• Steel construction withstands pressure cycling and mechanical stress in hydraulic service
• Sold in packages of 4, minimum order quantity of 1 package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies using 3/8-inch hose with 1/2-20 male SAE 37-degree JIC terminations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid-power mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fitting. Inspect the JIC flare seat and mating port for damage or contamination before assembly. Tighten to the torque appropriate for the thread size per SAE J514 guidelines — do not overtighten, as damage to the flare seat will compromise the seal.
