Cross Hose and Fittings Newsletter – July 2022

Parker’s QuickFit Oil Change System makes oil changes for engines and machinery a faster, cleaner, and safer process. Routine maintenance oil changes can bring a multitude of challenges:

  • Cramped engine compartments make access difficult and can lead to safety and ergonomic risks for workers
  • Multiple access points can result in cross-contamination
  • Removing a filter full of oil can be difficult, leading to spills, environmental contamination, and cleanliness issues
  • Each piece of equipment is different and may require a unique set of instructions and specialized training

The QuickFit system provides an accessible, single point connection that allows oil extraction directly into the final waste containment.

The same connection point is then used to refill the system with new oil. This reduces the total number of steps in the oil change process and eliminated any risk of safety hazards or spills.
