Parker Cylinder Port Availability

Parker cylinders can be ordered with a variety of different port types and positions. The standard port location is Position 1, as indicated in Figure 1. Cushion adjustment needle valves are at position 2 and 4 (or 3), depending on the mounting style. See Table A for mounting styles in which the head or cap can be rotated at no extra charge. To order, specify by position number. The cushion adjustment needle valves rotate accordingly in such assemblies, as their relationship with the port position does not change.

Cylinder Port Options

  • Option "T": SAE Straight Thread O-Ring Port. Recommended for most hydraulic applications.
  • Option "U": Conventional NPTF Ports (Dry-Seal Pipe Threads). Recommended for pneumatic applications only.
  • Option "R": BSPP Port (British Parallel Thread). ISO 228 port commonly used in Europe.
  • Option "P": SAE Flange Ports Code 61. Recommended for hydraulic applications requiring larger port sizes.
  • Option "B": BSPT (British Tapered Thread)
  • Option "G": Metric Straight Thread Port - similar to Option "R" with metric thread. Popular in some European applications.
  • Option "Y": ISO-6149-1 Metric Straight Thread Port. Recommended for all hydraulic applications designed per ISO standards.
