Parker KP81343 Hydraulic Hose Swivel Fitting 8mm 3/4-18

Product Description

The PARKER KP81343 is a steel swivel fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. It accepts an 8 mm hose connection with a 1/2-inch hose diameter and features a 3/4-18 male thread. The swivel design allows the hose to rotate freely during installation and operation, reducing torsional stress on the hose and preventing kinking. This fitting is built for use in hydraulic systems where fluid-tight, reliable connections are required. Installation is typically performed by hydraulic system technicians, millwrights, or fluid-power mechanics working on mobile or industrial hydraulic circuits.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic hose assemblies in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid-power systems where a 3/4-18 male thread port is required. The 1/2-inch hose diameter and 8 mm hose size make it a common selection for medium-pressure hydraulic lines. It is sold in a package quantity of two, making it practical for assemblies that require matched fittings at both ends of a hose run or for keeping a spare on hand during field service work.

Key Features

• Swivel design reduces hose torsion and simplifies routing during installation
• 3/4-18 male thread for compatibility with standard hydraulic port sizes
• 1/2-inch hose diameter accommodates common medium-pressure hydraulic hose
• Steel construction provides durability in high-pressure hydraulic environments
• Package quantity of two suits paired hose-end assembly applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies requiring an 8 mm, 1/2-inch hose diameter connection with a 3/4-18 male swivel thread end.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid-power mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic system completely before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Inspect thread condition and sealing surfaces before assembly, and apply appropriate thread sealant or follow the fitting manufacturer guidelines for the connection type. Torque fittings according to the system designer or equipment manufacturer specifications, not general estimates.
