Parker PP-00218 Female Jic 37 Swivel Fitting 5/16 in Steel

Product Description

The PARKER PP-00218 is a straight female JIC 37-degree swivel hose fitting manufactured from steel. It connects 5/16-inch hydraulic hose to a 1/2-20 JIC threaded port. The swivel design allows the fitting to rotate during installation, reducing hose twist and making routing easier in tight hydraulic circuits. This fitting is installed by hydraulic technicians and fluid power mechanics in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and other high-pressure hydraulic systems. The 37-degree JIC flare seat creates a metal-to-metal seal that resists vibration and pressure fluctuation common in hydraulic applications.

This fitting is suited for use in hydraulic plumbing where a straight inline connection is needed between a 5/16-inch hose end and a 1/2-20 JIC female-threaded port. Typical applications include mobile hydraulics on construction and agricultural equipment, industrial hydraulic power units, and machine tool hydraulic circuits. The swivel body allows technicians to hand-tighten the hose end into the port before locking down the fitting, which simplifies assembly in congested valve manifold areas.

Key Features

• 37-degree JIC flare seat provides a reliable metal-to-metal seal under hydraulic pressure
• Swivel body reduces hose twist during installation and routing
• Straight inline configuration for direct port-to-hose connections
• Steel construction for durability in high-pressure hydraulic environments
• 1/2-20 thread size conforms to standard JIC fitting dimensions
• Accepts 5/16-inch hydraulic hose

Compatibility

Designed as a standard JIC 37-degree swivel hose fitting for use with 5/16-inch hydraulic hose and 1/2-20 JIC-threaded ports in hydraulic systems requiring a straight female connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and lock out the hydraulic system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect the JIC flare seat and mating port for damage or contamination before assembly. Tighten to the fitting manufacturer's recommended procedure for JIC swivel fittings — typically snug by hand followed by wrench flats per standard practice — without overtightening, which can damage the flare seat.
