Parker KP61656 Reusable Hose Male Fitting 1/4 Npt

Product Description

The PARKER KP61656 is a 2-piece reusable hose male fitting designed for hydraulic and fluid-transfer hose assemblies. Constructed from steel, it accepts a 3/16 inch hose ID and terminates with a 1/4 inch NPT male thread. The reusable design allows the fitting to be disassembled and reapplied to a new hose end without special crimping equipment, making it a practical choice for field repairs and low-volume hose assembly work. This fitting is installed by hydraulic technicians, plumbers, and maintenance mechanics working on fluid lines where a threaded male NPT connection is required at one end.

This fitting is suited for use in light hydraulic, pneumatic, or fluid transfer lines that require a 3/16 inch hose ID connection terminating in a 1/4 inch NPT male thread. It is a common solution for equipment repair, fluid line fabrication, and maintenance applications across industrial, HVAC, and plumbing service environments where reusable fittings are preferred over crimp-style assemblies. Sold in a package quantity of 4.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style reusable male hose fitting for 3/16 inch ID hose assemblies requiring a 1/4 inch NPT male thread termination in light hydraulic, pneumatic, or fluid transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or licensed plumber. Depressurize and drain the hose assembly fully before disassembly or fitting installation. The 2-piece reusable design requires the socket to be threaded onto the hose before inserting the nipple — follow the manufacturer assembly sequence to ensure a leak-free connection. Verify NPT thread engagement and inspect for leaks after returning the system to service pressure.
