Technical Overview

The Parker 26 Series fittings represent a reliable solution for air brake and hydraulic systems. The 17B26-8-8BA is a permanent (crimp) style fitting that allows for quick and easy assembly with Parker’s range of crimpers. This fitting eliminates the need for removing the outer cover of the hose, effectively preventing premature hose failure that can occur with traditional skiving methods.

Constructed with a brass nipple and complemented by a durable steel nut and socket, the 26 Series fitting also features zinc dichromate plating for enhanced corrosion resistance, ensuring a long service life even in challenging environments.
