A MP-08-08-43 | 1/2" hose x 1/2" NPTF male pipe is a type of hydraulic fitting that consists of two parts: a hose fitting with a 1/2" inside diameter and a male pipe fitting with a 1/2" size and NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) thread type. The NPTF thread has a tapered design that allows the fitting to create a seal as it is tightened into a matching female NPTF fitting, without the need for a sealing washer or O-ring. It is often used in conjunction with a matching female NPTF fitting and sealing tape or thread sealant to ensure a leak-free connection. This hydraulic fitting features a Parker compatible 43 series fitting on the male end, which has a unique shape that allows it to provide a reliable seal at high pressures.
These fittings are designed to work in Parker crimping machines and with Parker hose. These fittings will crimp the same as a Parker 43 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 43 series fittings feature 2 etched lines along the lower part of the shell, indicating they are for use with most 2-wire hydraulic hoses.
Important Note: The number stamped on the shell of these fittings relates to the hose size.

ORB (O-Ring Boss) and JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings are both types of hydraulic fittings but differ in their sealing methods and applications. ORB fittings use an O-ring to create a leak-proof seal, making them ideal for high-pressure applications. JIC fittings, on the other hand, have a 37-degree flare seating surface and rely on metal-to-metal contact for the seal, which allows them to be used in a wide range of applications due to their versatility and ability to handle moderate pressures.

JIC (Joint Industry Council) and SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) fittings are not exactly the same but are compatible in certain applications. Both have a 37-degree flare seating surface, which allows them to connect with each other without leaking. However, it's important to ensure that the materials and pressure ratings are compatible for the specific application. See full answer »
