Parker VHC6-6F Hydraulic Hose Valve Fitting 3/8 in 4500 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER VHC6-6F is a straight hydraulic hose valve fitting designed for high-pressure fluid power applications. Built from steel with a 3/8-inch NPTF threaded connection, it delivers a maximum working pressure of 4,500 psi and handles operating temperatures from -35 degrees F to 250 degrees F. At 1.9 inches in overall length, the VHC6-6F is a compact, single-piece fitting suited for use on industrial hydraulic lines, mobile equipment hydraulics, and water and coolant lines. Installation is handled by hydraulic system technicians and fluid power mechanics working on both stationary and mobile equipment.

The VHC6-6F belongs to Parker Series H and is appropriate for a wide range of hydraulic hose termination points where a valve fitting with NPTF thread form is required. Typical applications include industrial machinery, mobile off-highway equipment, and cooling or coolant circuit connections. The straight body geometry suits installations where a direct in-line connection is preferred over angled fittings. This fitting is sold individually and is packaged as a single unit.

Key Features

• Maximum working pressure of 4,500 psi for demanding hydraulic service
• NPTF threaded connection provides a pressure-tight seal without additional sealant tape in most applications
• Steel construction for strength and durability in hydraulic environments
• Straight body shape for direct in-line hose-to-valve connections
• Wide temperature range: -35 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Compact 1.9-inch overall length minimizes space requirements in tight plumbing layouts

Compatibility

Designed for use with industrial hydraulic lines, mobile equipment hydraulic systems, and water and coolant lines requiring a 3/8-inch NPTF threaded valve fitting rated to 4,500 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fitting. Inspect threads for damage before assembly and verify that the mating port thread form is compatible with NPTF to ensure a proper pressure-tight connection. Follow the equipment manufacturer torque guidelines and applicable fluid power standards for final assembly.
