Thumbnail Filmstrip of MP-08-08-43 | 1/2" Hose x 1/2" NPTF Male Pipe (43 Series) Images
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.
Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
To identify JIC fittings, first measure the outer diameter of the male thread or the inner diameter of the female thread using a caliper. Then, compare these measurements to a JIC thread size chart to determine the correct size, ensuring the fitting has a 37-degree flare angle, characteristic of JIC fittings.
JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings are characterized by their 37-degree flared sealing surface, which ensures a metal-to-metal seal, primarily used in high-pressure hydraulic applications. ORB (O-Ring Boss) fittings, on the other hand, utilize an O-ring in a straight-thread design to create a leak-tight seal, making them ideal for applications requiring a robust, reliable seal against fluid leakage.
The JIC (Joint Industry Council) fitting is equivalent to the AN (Army-Navy) fitting in terms of thread size and pitch, but they are not identical. Both types use a 37-degree flare to create a metal-to-metal seal, making them compatible for many applications, though AN fittings are typically made to stricter military specifications.
To determine the size of a JIC fitting, measure the outer diameter of the male threads or the inner diameter of the female threads and refer to a JIC size chart to match the measurement to the corresponding size. JIC fittings follow a standardized sizing system, typically listed in inches or millimeters.
SAE stands for the Society of Automotive Engineers, an organization that sets standards for various automotive and aerospace components, including fittings. In the context of fittings, SAE standards ensure compatibility and quality, covering aspects such as dimensions, materials, and performance requirements.
JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings have a 37-degree flare seating surface, commonly used in North America for hydraulic applications. JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) fittings, on the other hand, typically have a 30-degree flare and are prevalent in Japanese and Asian equipment, with different thread types and sealing methods compared to JIC.
A JIC (Joint Industry Council) fitting will not fit directly into an NPT (National Pipe Tapered) fitting because they have different thread types and sealing methods. JIC fittings use a 37-degree flare for sealing, while NPT fittings rely on tapered threads to create a seal. To connect these two systems, an adapter is typically required.
Certainly! JIC (Joint Industry Council) and SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) fittings are both types of flare fittings used in hydraulic systems, but they have different specifications. JIC fittings typically have a 37-degree flare, while SAE fittings commonly have a 45-degree flare. This difference in flare angle means they are not interchangeable, as they are designed for different pressure ratings and applications.
JIC 12 refers to a specific size in the Joint Industry Council (JIC) hydraulic fitting system, which is commonly used in North America. The JIC 12 fitting has a 3/4-inch tube outer diameter and typically corresponds to a 1-1/16 inch thread size. These fittings are characterized by their 37-degree flare seating surface.
