Parker PX-00262 Hydraulic Hose Male Rigid Fitting

Product Description

The PARKER PX-00262 is a straight male rigid hose fitting designed for hydraulic fluid transfer applications. Manufactured from brass, it connects a 5/16-inch (0.3125-inch ID) hydraulic hose to a threaded port using a 1/4-18 NPTF male thread. The NPTF thread form creates a dry-seal connection that resists leakage without relying solely on sealant tape. At 1.6 inches in overall length, this compact fitting suits tight routing situations in hydraulic assemblies. It is sold in a package quantity of three and carries California Proposition 65 compliance notation.

This fitting is used wherever a hydraulic hose must terminate at a rigid threaded port in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, or fluid power systems. The straight configuration suits direct port connections where inline routing is possible. Installation is typically performed by hydraulic technicians, millwrights, or fluid power specialists assembling or repairing hydraulic circuits. The 5/16-inch hose size is common in lower-flow hydraulic circuits and compact power units.

Key Features

• Brass construction resists corrosion in hydraulic fluid environments
• 1/4-18 NPTF male thread provides a dry-seal connection at the port end
• Straight shape allows direct inline port connections without angled adapters
• 0.3125-inch (5/16-inch) hose ID accommodates standard small-bore hydraulic hose
• Parker Series 91N design for reliable hose-end termination
• Package quantity of three supports common multi-connection repair jobs

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5/16-inch ID hydraulic hose in Parker Series 91N hydraulic hose fitting assemblies requiring a 1/4-18 NPTF male thread connection.

Installation Notes

Hydraulic fittings of this type are installed by licensed fluid power technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. Depressurize and fully de-energize the hydraulic system before disassembly or fitting installation. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the thread form itself; follow applicable fluid power standards for proper thread engagement and inspect for leaks after pressurization. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is subject to deformation under excessive torque.
