Simplifying the ordering process

In the stainless steel component sector for hydraulic applications, Parker now offers one of the largest product lines in the world. From DIN and SAE fittings through to Series43 and on to adaptors for the Push-Lok hose series, the manufacturer now offers all the important fittings from a single source.

This enables the user to reduce the number of his suppliers to manageable proportions. This ‘single source solution’ simplifies the ordering process and the customer benefits from the fact that all the components are perfectly matched to one another technically. In this way the user profits among others from a unitary tube and hose connector design.

There is also a further advantage for users with global activities: these fitting products are available everywhere and at all times throughout the world from a comprehensive network of distributors.
