Parker PP-00257 Hydraulic Hose Swivel Fitting 12mm Steel

Product Description

The PARKER PP-00257 is a metric hydraulic hose swivel fitting designed for use with 12 mm hose assemblies in hydraulic fluid power systems. Constructed from steel, this swivel fitting allows rotational movement at the connection point, reducing hose twist and stress during assembly and operation. The swivel design helps maintain a leak-free connection while accommodating positioning adjustments without disassembling the hose line. This fitting is installed by hydraulic system technicians and millwrights working on mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid power circuits.

This fitting is suited for hydraulic applications requiring a metric swivel connection at 12 mm hose size, equivalent to a 3/4 inch hose diameter. Common installation scenarios include mobile hydraulic equipment, cylinder circuits, and industrial fluid power plumbing where a rotating end connection is needed to simplify routing or reduce assembly torque on the hose body.

Key Features

• Swivel fitting design allows rotation at the connection point to reduce hose twist
• Steel construction for durability in hydraulic system environments
• Metric shaft type for use with metric hydraulic hose assemblies
• 12 mm hose size, corresponding to 3/4 inch hose diameter
• Sold in a package quantity of 4 fittings per pack

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies using 12 mm metric swivel end connections in industrial and mobile fluid power systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or millwright. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant or O-ring seating practices per the fitting type to ensure a leak-free connection. Follow applicable fluid power and machinery safety standards when working on hydraulic systems.
