Parker KP81345 Hydraulic Hose Fitting 45 Degree Elbow

Product Description

The PARKER KP81345 is a 45-degree elbow hydraulic hose fitting designed for use in high-pressure hydraulic plumbing applications. Constructed from steel with a male threaded connection, this fitting accepts a 1/2-20 thread size and is sized for hoses with a 0.375 inch (3/8 inch) inside diameter, corresponding to a hose size 6. It serves as a direction-change fitting where a 45-degree offset is required between a hose end and a port or component. Installation is handled by hydraulic technicians and fluid power specialists working on mobile or stationary hydraulic systems.

This fitting is suited for both industrial and mobile hydraulic systems where a low-profile angled connection is needed to route hose assemblies around obstructions or achieve cleaner plumbing layouts. The Series 43 designation indicates compatibility with a specific range of Parker hose constructions. It is a practical component in hydraulic circuits on machinery, equipment, and power units that require reliable, leak-free hose terminations at a 45-degree angle.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power specialist. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit fully before disconnecting or assembling any fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant or verify whether a dry-seal thread form is specified before assembly. Torque to the fitting and port manufacturer specifications using a calibrated torque wrench — do not over-tighten, as this can damage sealing surfaces or thread engagement.
