Introduction
Parker introduced K4 (BSP) adapters in the late 1990s to ad-
dress market requirements for OEM and replacement BSP
adapters. These ttings 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 Fig. J1 K4 Interface
contact between the conical surface of the 60 cone seat and
the corresponding surface of the ballnose or cone swivel, as
shown in Fig. J1. Adapter Mating Parker Hose
Connection End Fitting Series
K4 adapters are manufactured in accordance with BS5200 stan-
dards.The 60 internal seat is designed for sealing with BSP hose K4 / K46 D9/92, B1, B2, B4
swivel connections offered by many manufacturers. K4 adapters
mate with Parker hose tting series shown in Table J1. Table J1 Parker K4 Fittings Hose
Adaptability
Further enhancing the exibility of the K4 adapter product line
is the ability for the male BSP cone end of the straight ttings
to also be used as a port adapter in ISO 1179-1 / DIN 3852
ports. This is accomplished with the addition of a bonded seal
(often referred to as a Dowty seal). This product feature is
illustrated in Fig. J2.
It should be noted that Parker offers two very similar cone style
BSPP adapters P4 and K4. Parkers K4 (60 cone, BSPP)
ttings conform to BS5200, while P4 adapters conforms to JIS
B8363 specication. K4 Adapters, while very similar to JIS
P4 cone style ttings, are not interchangeable. See the next
page for more information regarding the interchangeability of
JIS and BS ttings.
