Parker KP46872 Female Jic Swivel 90 Elbow 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER KP46872 is a female JIC swivel 90-degree elbow fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. It connects a 3/8-inch hose to a 7/16-20 JIC threaded port, allowing a right-angle routing change in tight hydraulic plumbing layouts. The swivel design allows the hose end to rotate during installation, which reduces assembly torque and prevents hose twist. Constructed from steel, the KP46872 is built to handle the pressure demands typical of mobile and industrial hydraulic circuits. This fitting is installed by hydraulic technicians and fluid power specialists during new system builds and hose replacement service.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic systems that require a 90-degree directional change at the hose-to-port connection. The female JIC swivel end mates with standard 37-degree flare JIC fittings commonly found in mobile equipment, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and industrial hydraulic power units. It is appropriate for use wherever a 3/8-inch hose terminates at a 7/16-20 JIC port and routing constraints prevent a straight fitting from being used.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow configuration routes hose in space-constrained hydraulic layouts
• Swivel design prevents hose twist during torque-down installation
• 37-degree female JIC flare seating compatible with standard JIC ports
• 7/16-20 thread size for 3/8-inch hose diameter applications
• Steel construction for durability in high-pressure hydraulic service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hydraulic hose fitting for 3/8-inch hose assemblies terminating at 7/16-20 female JIC swivel ports in mobile and industrial hydraulic systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and bleed the hydraulic system fully before disconnecting any fittings or hose assemblies. Inspect the JIC flare seat and mating port for damage or contamination before assembly. Hand-tighten the swivel nut first, then apply final torque with a wrench while holding the body stationary to avoid stressing the hose.
