Parker PQ-00096 Hydraulic Hose Coupler 5500 Psi Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER PQ-00096 is a steel hydraulic hose coupler rated for working pressures up to 5,500 psi. Part of the ST Series, it features an NPTF threaded connection at 1/4-18 and is designed for use with 4 mm (1/4 inch) hose diameter. At 1.53 inches in overall length, this compact coupler supports a maximum flow rate of 6.00 GPM. It is installed by hydraulic technicians and maintenance professionals in fluid power systems where a reliable, leak-resistant threaded connection is required.

This coupler is suited for industrial hydraulic circuits, mobile equipment hydraulics, and other high-pressure fluid power applications. The NPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight seal on the thread itself, reducing reliance on additional sealants. The 5,500 psi pressure rating makes it appropriate for demanding hydraulic lines in both stationary and mobile system environments. Sold in a package quantity of 2.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a 1/4-18 NPTF threaded coupler rated to 5,500 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. NPTF threads rely on thread-form interference for sealing — inspect threads for damage before assembly and apply thread sealant only if required by the system specification. Torque to the system or equipment manufacturer's recommendation for the connection size and material.
