Parker VHC8-8M Hydraulic Hose Mpt Fitting 4000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER VHC8-8M is a straight male pipe thread (MPT) fitting designed for hydraulic hose assemblies in industrial and mobile equipment applications. Built from steel with a 1/2-inch NPT threaded connection, it carries a maximum working pressure of 4,000 psi, making it suitable for demanding fluid power systems. The fitting measures 2.46 inches in overall length with a 1/2-inch body diameter and hose size. Licensed hydraulic technicians and fluid power mechanics install this type of fitting when assembling or repairing high-pressure hose lines on machinery, mobile equipment, and cooling circuits.

This fitting is rated for use on industrial hydraulic lines, mobile equipment hydraulic circuits, and water and coolant lines. The straight body configuration and NPT thread form make it a common choice when connecting hose ends to pumps, cylinders, valves, or manifolds where a male pipe thread port is required. It belongs to Parker Series H fittings, a widely used family in both stationary industrial and mobile hydraulic systems.

Compatibility

Designed for use with industrial hydraulic lines, mobile equipment hydraulic circuits, and water and coolant lines requiring a 1/2-inch NPT male pipe thread fitting at 4,000 psi working pressure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power mechanic. Depressurize and bleed the hydraulic system completely before removing or installing any hose fittings. Apply thread sealant appropriate for hydraulic service on NPT threads and torque to the fitting manufacturer's recommended specification. Inspect hose ends and mating ports for damage or contamination before assembly.
