Parker KP61682 Hydraulic Hose Swivel Fitting 6000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER KP61682 is a steel hydraulic hose swivel fitting rated for 6,000 psi operating pressure. It connects hydraulic hose assemblies to system components using a 1/4-18 Male NPTF thread, accommodating a 4 mm (1/4 inch) hose diameter. The swivel design allows the fitting to rotate during installation, reducing hose twist and stress at the connection point. This fitting is installed by hydraulic system technicians and maintenance professionals working on mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid power systems. Steel construction provides durability in high-pressure environments.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic plumbing applications where a reliable, leak-resistant threaded connection is required at the hose end. The Male NPTF thread form creates a mechanical seal through thread interference, reducing the need for additional sealant in many installations. Typical applications include mobile hydraulic circuits, press lines, and industrial fluid power assemblies requiring a compact, high-pressure swivel connection at the 1/4-inch hose size.

Key Features

• 6,000 psi pressure rating for demanding hydraulic applications
• Swivel design reduces hose twist and installation stress
• 1/4-18 Male NPTF thread for a mechanical pressure-tight seal
• 4 mm (1/4 inch) hose size compatibility
• Steel construction for strength and durability in high-pressure service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement swivel fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a 1/4-18 Male NPTF thread connection at 4 mm hose diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Inspect threads for damage before assembly and ensure the mating port thread form is compatible with NPTF. Do not overtighten — use a calibrated torque wrench and follow applicable fluid power system standards for fitting installation.
