Parker KP81321 Female Jic Swivel 90 Deg Elbow Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER KP81321 is a female JIC swivel 90 degree elbow hydraulic hose fitting designed for use in high-pressure hydraulic fluid lines. Manufactured from steel, this fitting connects hydraulic hose assemblies at a 90 degree angle, allowing routing in tight spaces where a straight fitting would not clear adjacent components. The swivel design permits free rotation during installation, eliminating hose twist and simplifying assembly. It accepts a 3/8 inch (0.375 inch inside diameter) hose and uses a 5/8-18 inch threaded JIC connection. Licensed hydraulic technicians and fluid power specialists are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This fitting is suited for mobile and industrial hydraulic systems where hose must change direction at a 90 degree angle. It is part of PARKER Series 43 and is rated for use with a broad range of Parker hose types including the 187, 302, 304, 387, 422, 424, 426, 436, 471TC, 471ST, 472TC, 482TC, 482ST, 487, 722, 787, 797, and 881 hose series. Typical installation scenarios include agricultural equipment, construction machinery, and industrial hydraulic power units where compact hose routing is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power specialist. Depressurize and fully isolate the hydraulic system before removing or installing any fittings. Use appropriate wrenches on the fitting flats — do not grip the swivel body. Verify the JIC seat and threads are clean and undamaged before assembly, and confirm the system is leak-free before returning it to service.
