Parker KP81340 Hydraulic Hose Swivel Fitting 1/4 in Male

Product Description

The PARKER KP81340 is a male swivel fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. It accepts a 1/4 inch hose diameter and features a 7/16-24 thread size for secure, leak-resistant connections in hydraulic circuits. Constructed from steel, this fitting is built to handle the mechanical stress and pressure cycling typical in industrial and mobile hydraulic systems. Licensed hydraulic technicians and fluid power specialists typically install this type of fitting during hose fabrication or replacement service on hydraulic lines.

This swivel fitting is suited for hydraulic hose assemblies in industrial equipment, mobile machinery, and fluid power systems where a rotating connection point is needed to reduce hose twist and assembly strain. The male thread configuration makes it compatible with standard female-ported hydraulic components. It is sold in a package quantity of four, making it practical for bench-stock or multi-point repair jobs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power specialist. Depressurize and bleed down the hydraulic system completely before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant or follow system specifications for dry-thread connections. Inspect the mating port and hose end for damage or contamination before assembly.
