Parker KP46879 Hydraulic Swivel Fitting 7/16-20 Female Jic

Product Description

The PARKER KP46879 is a 90-degree elbow swivel fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. It connects a 0.25-inch inside diameter hose to a 7/16-20 threaded port using a female JIC interface. The swivel design allows the fitting to rotate during installation, reducing hose twist and assembly stress. Constructed from steel for durability under hydraulic system pressures, this fitting is part of Parker's Series 43 line. It is installed by hydraulic system technicians and fluid power specialists in industrial, mobile, and OEM applications where a right-angle hose-to-port connection is required.

This swivel fitting is suited for use in hydraulic systems requiring a 90-degree directional change at the hose termination point. It is compatible with a broad range of Parker hose series and is appropriate for both mobile equipment and stationary hydraulic circuits. The female JIC thread interface is a widely used standard in fluid power, making this fitting applicable across many system configurations where a 1/4-inch hose and 7/16-20 port are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician familiar with fluid power system assembly practices. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. The swivel body should be held stationary while the nut is torqued to avoid hose twist. Verify thread engagement and inspect for leaks after system re-pressurization.
