Parker PX-00023 Hydraulic Hose Male Rigid Fitting 8mm Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER PX-00023 is a male rigid hydraulic hose fitting designed for secure, leak-resistant connections in hydraulic plumbing systems. Manufactured from brass, this fitting features a male NPTF thread with a 1/2-14 thread size and accommodates a hose size of 8 mm (1/2 inch hose diameter). The rigid design eliminates swivel movement at the connection point, providing a fixed, stable joint suited for installations where hose orientation is consistent. Licensed fluid-power mechanics and hydraulic system technicians are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This fitting is appropriate for hydraulic lines in both industrial and mobile equipment applications where a fixed male NPTF thread connection is required. The brass construction suits lower-pressure hydraulic circuits and fluid transfer systems where brass is a compatible material. It is commonly installed at pump ports, valve bodies, cylinders, and manifold blocks that accept 1/2-14 NPTF male threads. Fittings of this type are sold in a package quantity of five units per order.

Key Features

• Male rigid fitting design provides a fixed, non-swivel connection point
• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance in compatible fluid environments
• 1/2-14 NPTF male thread for pressure-tight, dry-seal threaded connections
• Accommodates 8 mm (1/2 inch) hydraulic hose diameter
• Sold in packs of 5 to support multiple-fitting installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or serviceable fitting for hydraulic hose assemblies requiring an 8 mm hose size with a 1/2-14 male NPTF thread connection on brass-compatible hydraulic circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified fluid-power technician or licensed mechanic familiar with hydraulic system service. Always depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the thread form itself without pipe sealant, though compatible thread sealant may be used per system requirements. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is susceptible to thread deformation.
