Parker VHC4-4M Hydraulic Hose Mpt Fitting 6500 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER VHC4-4M is a straight male pipe thread (MPT) fitting designed for use in hydraulic hose assemblies operating at pressures up to 6,500 psi. Constructed from steel with a 1/4-inch NPT threaded connection, this fitting provides a reliable, leak-resistant junction point in high-pressure fluid circuits. At 2.09 inches in overall length and weighing 0.22 pounds, it is a compact component suited for tight installation spaces. Licensed HVAC and hydraulic technicians, pipefitters, and mobile equipment mechanics install this type of fitting when assembling or repairing pressurized hose runs in industrial and field service environments.

The VHC4-4M is engineered for industrial hydraulic lines, mobile equipment hydraulic systems, and water and coolant lines. Its straight body geometry and NPT thread form make it a common choice when routing hose assemblies between fixed ports and flexible lines in both stationary machinery and mobile platforms. The 1/4-inch hose size and 1/4-inch thread size provide a matched connection without reducers or adapters in compatible 1/4-inch port configurations.

Key Features

• 6,500 psi maximum working pressure rating for high-demand hydraulic circuits
• Steel construction provides durability under pressure cycling and mechanical stress
• Straight body shape simplifies hose routing in confined or direct-run installations
• 1/4-inch NPT threaded connection for compatibility with standard pipe thread ports
• Compact 2.09-inch overall length suits space-restricted mounting locations
• Suitable for industrial hydraulic lines, mobile equipment, and water and coolant lines

Compatibility

Designed for use with industrial hydraulic lines, mobile equipment hydraulic systems, and water and coolant lines. Sized for 1/4-inch hose assemblies with 1/4-inch NPT threaded ports per the Series H product line.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic or mechanical technician familiar with high-pressure fluid system assembly. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit fully before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Apply thread sealant appropriate for hydraulic service to NPT threads and tighten to the fitting manufacturer's general guidelines for steel NPT connections. Inspect the completed assembly for leaks before returning the system to full operating pressure.
