Parker KP61676 Hydraulic Swivel Fitting 6000 Psi 1/4 in

Product Description

The PARKER KP61676 is a straight swivel fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies operating at pressures up to 6,000 psi. Built from steel with a male NPT/NPTF threaded connection, it accommodates a 1/4-inch hose diameter and a 1/4-18 thread size. The swivel design allows the hose to rotate freely at the connection point, reducing torsional stress and simplifying routing in tight installations. Licensed hydraulic technicians and fluid power mechanics install this fitting in high-pressure hydraulic circuits where a rigid connection would cause hose fatigue or misalignment.

This fitting is suited for industrial and mobile hydraulic systems where threaded NPT or NPTF ports are present. The NPTF thread form creates a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying solely on a sealant, making it appropriate for high-cycle applications. At 1.43 inches overall length, it is compact enough for use in space-constrained manifolds, valve blocks, and hydraulic power units. Typical applications include construction equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid power test systems.

Key Features

• 6,000 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure hydraulic service
• Male NPT/NPTF threaded connection provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal
• Swivel design reduces hose torsion and simplifies routing
• Steel construction for durability in demanding hydraulic environments
• Straight configuration for in-line hose-to-port connections
• Meets SAE 140130 standard

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4-inch hydraulic hose assemblies terminating at 1/4-18 NPT or NPTF threaded ports in high-pressure hydraulic systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified fluid power technician or hydraulic mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit fully before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant per system requirements when using NPT threads; NPTF threads may seal without sealant but inspect for leaks after initial pressurization. Do not overtighten, as steel NPT threads are susceptible to galling and thread damage.
