Parker KP68311 Hydraulic Hose Swivel Adapter 6000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER KP68311 is a straight hydraulic hose swivel adapter designed for high-pressure fluid power systems. Rated to 6,000 psi maximum working pressure, this adapter features a male NPTF threaded connection with a 7/16-20 thread size and fits a 1/8-inch hose diameter. The body is machined from steel for durability in demanding hydraulic circuits. It is installed by hydraulic system technicians, maintenance mechanics, and fluid power specialists in industrial and mobile equipment applications where a secure, leak-resistant swivel connection is required.

This adapter is suited for straight-run hydraulic line connections in both industrial and mobile hydraulic systems. The swivel design allows the hose to be positioned without twisting the line during installation or operation. With an overall length of 1.09 inches and a compact profile, it fits in tight plumbing configurations. Typical applications include construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and industrial hydraulic power units where threaded NPTF connections are specified per SAE standard 140130, Series 0107.

Key Features

• 6,000 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure hydraulic service
• Male NPTF threaded connection provides a pressure-tight seal without sealant tape on dry-seal threads
• Straight swivel configuration allows hose rotation during assembly to eliminate twist stress
• Steel construction for strength and resistance to hydraulic fluid environments
• Compact 1.09-inch overall length suits tight hydraulic plumbing layouts
• Meets SAE 140130 standard, Series 0107

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/8-inch hydraulic hose and 7/16-20 male NPTF threaded ports in hydraulic systems rated up to 6,000 psi per SAE 140130 Series 0107 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit fully before removing or installing any fittings. NPTF dry-seal threads are designed to seal on the threads themselves; inspect threads for damage before assembly and do not overtighten. Verify that the hose end and port thread specifications match before installation to prevent cross-threading or leaks.
