Parker KP81286 Male Sae 37 Jic Rigid Fitting 1/4 in

Product Description

The PARKER KP81286 is a male SAE 37-degree JIC rigid hose fitting designed for use in hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a reliable threaded connection. Manufactured from steel, this straight fitting accepts hoses with a 0.25-inch inside diameter (hose size 4) and uses a 1/2-20 inch thread. With an overall length of 1.83 inches, it provides a compact, fixed-angle connection point in high-pressure hydraulic circuits. It is specified to ISO 12151-5 standards and carries California Proposition 65 compliance notation. Licensed hydraulic technicians and industrial maintenance professionals install this fitting in fluid power systems where a secure, leak-resistant JIC flare connection is required.

This fitting is intended for hydraulic hose assembly applications across industrial, mobile equipment, and fluid power system environments. The SAE 37-degree JIC flare interface is a widely used standard in both industrial and mobile hydraulic installations. The straight body shape suits direct inline connections where no angular offset is needed. It is sold in package quantities of four units per order.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or pipefitter familiar with SAE JIC flare fittings and applicable fluid power system codes. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fitting. Inspect the JIC flare seat and mating surface for damage or contamination before assembly. Do not overtighten — follow standard JIC assembly practice of hand-tight plus the appropriate fractional turn per the fitting manufacturer guidance for the thread size used.
