Parker KP81362 Hydraulic Hose Male Rigid Fitting 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER KP81362 is a straight male rigid fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies in fluid power systems. It features a 0.375 inch inside diameter, a 3/8 inch male SAE threaded connection, and a steel construction built to handle the demands of hydraulic line service. At 2.1 inches in overall length, this compact fitting is used to terminate or connect hydraulic hoses at pumps, cylinders, valves, and related components. Installation is performed by licensed hydraulic technicians and fluid power mechanics. The threaded male SAE interface provides a secure, leak-resistant connection in high-pressure hydraulic circuits.

This fitting is suited for use in industrial, mobile, and stationary hydraulic systems where a straight male rigid hose end is required. It is compatible with Parker Series 43 hydraulic hose assemblies and is sold in packages of four, making it practical for service shops and field technicians assembling or repairing multiple lines. Typical applications include machine tool hydraulics, agricultural equipment, and construction machinery where reliable hose termination is critical.

Installation Notes

Hydraulic fittings should be installed by qualified fluid power technicians familiar with applicable pressure ratings and system requirements. Depressurize and fully isolate the hydraulic circuit before removing or installing any hose fitting. Use appropriate crimping or swaging equipment per Parker assembly specifications to ensure a safe, leak-free termination. Inspect threads for damage before assembly and apply compatible thread sealant or follow system requirements for sealing method.
