Parker VHC6-6M Hydraulic Hose Mpt Fitting 3/8 in 4500 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER VHC6-6M is a straight male pipe thread (MPT) fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies in demanding fluid power applications. Built from steel with an NPT threaded connection, this Series H fitting handles a maximum working pressure of 4,500 psi. At 2.19 inches in overall length and a 3/8-inch body diameter, it is a compact, high-pressure connector suited for industrial and mobile hydraulic systems. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and hydraulic service technicians working on fluid power circuits will find this fitting a direct-fit component for a wide range of hose and line termination tasks.

This fitting is rated for use with industrial hydraulic lines, mobile equipment hydraulic circuits, and water and coolant lines. The 3/8-inch hose size and 3/8-inch NPT thread size make it a common choice for mid-range hydraulic circuits where space is limited and reliable sealing under pressure is required. Its straight configuration simplifies inline connections where no directional change is needed at the termination point.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic or fluid power technician. Depressurize and bleed down the hydraulic system fully before removing or installing any fittings. NPT threads require proper thread sealant or tape applied per the fitting manufacturer and system fluid compatibility requirements — do not overtighten, as NPT threads are tapered and can crack fittings or distort seat surfaces. Follow applicable industry standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines for torque and assembly procedures.
