Parker FittingFinder™ vs Installation Instructions

Parker’s updated FittingFinder™ App places a powerful and convenient hydraulic/fluid power fitting configurator tool in the palm of your hand. Since 2012, FittingFinder has been used by fluid power system designers, service/maintenance technicians, and equipment owners to quickly configure and generate the requirements for hydraulic tube fittings and adapters for use in mobile, transportation, energy, and general industrial fluid power systems. The highly intuitive selection process of FittingFinder is well suited for both new design and in-the-field fitting identification. FittingFinder goes beyond a catalog selection tool. The Build Fitting functionality uses a sequence of visually aided steps to configure a fitting from a basic shape to final part number. By selecting key fitting attributes such as shape, end type(s), thread size, sealing method, and material – a part number with detailed specification attributes, drawing, pressure ratings, and links to 2D/3D CAD models is provided. FittingFinder helps you become the fitting selection expert. Navigating the myriads of different fitting ends and port ends can make fitting/adapter identification challenging. FittingFinder solves this issue through its logical fitting selection and sizing methodology. The App easily helps navigate the common (AND LESS COMMON) threaded tube/hose end options such as JIC/37° Flare, ORFS (O-Ring Face Seal), SAE/Inch Flareless Bite-Type, Metric/DIN Bite Type, JIS 30° Flare, JIS 60° Cone, Komatsu 30° Metric Flare, NPSF Pipe Swivel and BSP Cone. Port ends such as Pipe/NPT, SAE O-Ring Boss, Metric, BSPT/BSPT, and SAE 4-Bolt Flange port connections are also selectable as part of the fitting configuration process. FittingFinder is not limited by the constraints of “catalogued standard parts” as the App configures and helps users identify custom fitting options as well. Additionally, the Lookup functionality enables the user to look up a known Parker or non-Parker product by entering either the part number or series. Instantly Share the FittingFinder specification details and CAD model links through email or SMS. Use the Where to Buy tool to locate and contact authorized Parker distributors for product availability and pricing. Use the Map It function to navigate to closest distributor location. Save Favorite distributor locations with user added contact details. Recent App improvements include: App performance improvements, new parts added, saving configured parts, improved where to buy UX,links to fitting assembly/installation and catalog, and more.
