Parker Compatible 71 Series
These fittings are designed to work in Parker crimping machines and with Parker hose. These fittings will crimp the same as a Parker 71 series fitting in your Parker machine, or you can use our Crimp Specs if you have an adjustable hose crimper. Currently we have a limited thread selection, but are bringing in more threads and sizes within the next 6 months. Don't see a fitting you are looking for? Give us a call or email us and we will let you know if that one is already on our list.
Our Parker Compatible 71 series fittings are for use with most 4 and 6-wire hydraulic hoses.
Important Note: The number stamped on the shell of these fittings relates to the hose size.

The ID of a hydraulic hose refers to its "inside diameter." It is a critical measurement that indicates the size of the pipe. This measurement directly correlates to the rate of fluid flow within the hose, the pressure it can withstand, and its fitting compatibility. Reference: 1. "Hydraulic Hose 101: Fast Facts" (https://www.hoseassemblytips.com/hydr...). You can see this information in the section titled "Size." 2. "How to Identify Fluid Ports and Connectors" (https://www.hydraulicsdirect.com/Flui...). The information can be found in the paragraph under the subheading "How to Measure Threads." See full answer »

The numbers on hydraulic hoses typically indicate the hose's diameter, pressure rating, and compliance with specific industry standards. For example, a number like "1/2-12" might denote a 1/2-inch diameter hose with a 12,000 PSI pressure rating. These markings help ensure the hose is suitable for its intended application.
