K4 BSP Adapters

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and descriptions of Parker Hannifin's K4 BSP adapters, which are primarily used as hose adapters in European equipment. These adapters are designed to work with BSPP threads and are manufactured according to BS5200 standards. Additionally, it includes technical specifications for tube fittings, focusing on BSP adapters, with data on part numbers, end sizes, dimensions, and dynamic pressure ratings.
Specifications: K4 adapters feature a 60° cone for metal-to-metal sealing, compatible with BSP hose swivel connections. They can also serve as port adapters in ISO 1179-1 / DIN 3852 ports with a bonded seal. The adapters are made from hot forged construction for shaped adapters and cold drawn barstock for straight adapters. The document lists various part numbers such as 12S6MK4, 16S6MK4, 20S6MK4, etc., with end sizes specified in inches and threads per inch.
Thread Standards: The adapters are available with BSPP (ISO 228-1 G), BSPT (ISO 7/1, JIS B 0203), and NPTF (SAE J476, ANSI B1.20.3) threads.
Design and Construction: The document highlights the differences between K4 and JIS P4 adapters, noting that while they share similar threads and seat angles, they are not interchangeable due to dimensional differences that can lead to leakage.
Dynamic Pressure Ratings: The document provides dynamic pressure ratings for various adapter sizes, crucial for ensuring compatibility and safety in high-pressure applications. Dynamic pressure is given in thousands of PSI, with values like 2.9, 1.8, and 1.5.
Tables and Figures: Several tables and figures illustrate the dimensions, thread specifications, and potential issues when mixing different adapter types. These include detailed measurements for various adapter sizes and configurations.
Key Components: The document lists various adapter types, including unions, elbows, tees, plugs, and caps, each with specific mating hose fitting series. It also includes detailed part numbers, end sizes, and pressure ratings for each component.
Procedures and Recommendations: Dimensions and pressures are for reference only and are subject to change. Ensure compatibility with the specified BSP thread sizes for proper fitting.
Conclusion: Parker Hannifin's K4 BSP adapters offer a versatile solution for European equipment requiring reliable hose connections. The document serves as a reference for selecting appropriate BSP adapters based on specific requirements such as size, pressure, and application. Users should verify the latest specifications from Parker Hannifin Corporation.

K4 BSP Adapters 4300 Catalog K4 BSP Adapters Parker K4 (BSP) adapters are typically used as hose adapters on equipment designed and/or manufactured throughout Europe, especially equipment with ties to the UK, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Spain and Italy. BSP cone adapters are similar in function to NPSM (07 Adapters) but with BSPP threads. The metal-to-metal sealing is achieved by a single line of contact between the conical surface of the 60° cone seat and the corresponding surface of the ballnose or cone swivel, as shown in Fig. I1. Fig. I1 – K4 Interface K4 adapters are manufactured in accordance...

K4 BSP Adapters 4300 Catalog 60° Cone Adapters: JIS vs. K4 K4 Adapters, while very similar to JIS P4 cones (shown in previous section), are not interchangeable. Parker’s P4 JIS 60° cone adapters are manufactured in accordance to JIS B8363 while Parker’s K4 BSP adapters are manufactured in accordance to BS5200. The following are some pronounced differences that may help in distinguishing between the K4 and P4 fittings: 1. Thread length (“A” dimensions) 2. 60° angle diameter (“B” dimensions) 3. The undercut area (area between threads and hex body) on the straight K4 fittings incorporates a bonded...
