Parker KP72288 Hydraulic Swivel Fitting 6000 Psi 3/8-18

Product Description

The PARKER KP72288 is a steel hydraulic hose swivel fitting designed for high-pressure fluid power systems. It features a 3/8-18 male NPTF thread and is rated to 6,000 psi, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic circuits where secure, leak-free connections are required. The swivel design allows the hose to rotate relative to the port, reducing torsional stress on the hose assembly during installation and operation. This fitting is installed by hydraulic system technicians and fluid power specialists working on industrial and mobile equipment.

This fitting is used in hydraulic plumbing applications where a hose end must connect to a fixed NPTF port without twisting the hose body. The 6 mm hose size and 3/8-inch hose diameter make it appropriate for medium-bore hydraulic hose assemblies in both industrial machinery and mobile equipment contexts. It is sold in packages of 4 units, making it practical for multi-point installations or service stock.

Key Features

• 6,000 psi pressure rating for high-pressure hydraulic circuits
• Swivel design reduces hose torsion during installation and in service
• Male NPTF thread provides a dry-seal connection at the port
• Steel construction for durability in demanding fluid power environments
• 3/8-18 thread size fits standard NPTF ports
• Packaged in quantities of 4 for multi-point or restocking use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies using 6 mm hose with 3/8-18 male NPTF port connections rated to 6,000 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and bleed the hydraulic system fully before disconnecting any fittings or hose assemblies. NPTF dry-seal threads rely on thread-form interference for sealing — inspect threads for damage before installation and do not over-tighten, as this can distort the thread seal. Verify hose and fitting pressure ratings are compatible with the system operating pressure before returning the system to service.
