Parker PP-00345 Hydraulic Hose Male Rigid Fitting 8mm

Product Description

The PARKER PP-00345 is a male rigid fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies. It connects an 8 mm hose with a 1/2-inch hose diameter to a 3/4-16 threaded port using a Male O-Ring Boss (ORB) shaft type. Constructed from steel, this fitting provides a leak-resistant, high-integrity connection in hydraulic fluid systems. It is installed by hydraulic technicians, equipment mechanics, and maintenance professionals working on industrial and mobile hydraulic circuits. The male rigid design holds the hose end at a fixed angle, making it appropriate for applications where hose routing must remain consistent and vibration is a concern.

This fitting is suited for use in hydraulic systems requiring a permanent, non-swivel end connection. Typical applications include mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and fluid power assemblies where steel fittings are specified for durability and pressure integrity. It is compatible with 8 mm hydraulic hose and threaded ports following the 3/4-16 standard with an ORB sealing face. This part ships in a package quantity of five units, making it practical for service shops and fleet maintenance operations that regularly stock hydraulic fitting inventory.

Key Features

• Male ORB thread interface provides a reliable o-ring face seal at the port connection
• Male rigid fitting design maintains fixed hose orientation for consistent routing
• Steel construction for use in standard hydraulic fluid environments
• Fits 8 mm hose size with 1/2-inch hose diameter
• 3/4-16 thread size for compatibility with standard SAE ORB port specifications
• Packaged in quantities of five for shop and fleet stocking convenience

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or service fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies using 8 mm hose with a 1/2-inch inside diameter and 3/4-16 Male ORB port connections. Confirm hose end configuration and port thread specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or equipment mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before disconnecting or installing any fittings, and follow all applicable fluid power safety procedures. Inspect the ORB o-ring seating surface for damage before assembly and ensure the o-ring is properly seated to achieve a leak-free seal. Torque to the fitting manufacturer and equipment OEM specifications for the thread and port size.
