Parker KP46870 Female Jic Swivel 90 Elbow 1/4 in Hose

Product Description

The PARKER KP46870 is a female JIC swivel 90-degree elbow fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. Machined from steel with threaded connection, this fitting attaches to hose with a 0.25-inch inside diameter and uses a 1/2-20 thread size. The 90-degree elbow geometry allows routing in tight spaces where a straight or angled fitting would interfere with adjacent components. It is part of the Parker Series 43 fitting line and is installed by hydraulic system technicians in mobile, industrial, and fluid-power applications. The swivel feature allows for easy alignment during final assembly without rotating the hose.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic systems where hose routing must change direction close to a port or component. The female JIC swivel design is common in both mobile equipment and stationary fluid-power installations. It is compatible with a range of Parker hydraulic hose products, making it a standard choice for service, repair, and new-build assemblies that require a compact 90-degree transition at a JIC-threaded port.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified hydraulic technicians or millwrights. Depressurize and drain the hydraulic system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Use appropriate wrenching flats and calibrated torque tools per system requirements. Inspect the JIC seating surfaces for scoring or contamination before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection.
