A wide range of hydraulic pipe adapters are available in varies configurations including straights, 45º and 90º and materials such as carbon and stainless steel. Some of these include: external pipe/external pipe, pipe reducers, pipe plugs, external pipe/internal pipe, internal pipe swivels, Internal pipe swivel (NPSM), pipe tees and crosses and more. Please browse this section of pipe adapters available and contact us with any questions or to place an order.
The NPTF or National Pipe Tapered Fuel connection is still widely used in fluid power systems, even though it is not recommended by the National Fluid Power Association (N.F.P.A) for use in hydraulic applications. The thread is tapered and the seal takes place by deformation of the threads.
Hydraulic adapters in this category include pipe to SAE 37º JIC flare, external pipe to SAE 37º JIC flare bulkhead, internal pipe to 37º flare bulkhead, pipe to 37º flare swivel, female pipe to female swivel, internal pipe to 37º flare. These adapters are available in a wide range of configurations including straights, 45º and 90º elbows, tees and crosses.
Pipe to 45º Flare adapters are found in this section and include straights, 45º and 90º elbows. Configurations include external (male) pipe to 45º flare in straight and elbows, internal (female) pipe to 45º flare in straight and 90º elbow configurations. SAE specifications covered include SAE 010102, 010103, 010302, 010202 and SAE 010203.
An SAE J512 45º Flare is an American Connection commonly used in refrigeration, automotive and truck piping systems. Usually made of brass, both the male and female connectors have 45º seats. The seal takes place between the male flare and the female cone seat. The threads hold the the connection mechanically.
The SAE J514 straight thread O-Ring Boss (ORB) is an American Connection and is recommended by the N.F.P.A for optimum leakage control in medium and high pressure hydraulic systems. The male connector has a straight thread and an O-Ring. The female port has a straight thread, a machined surface (minimum spot-face) and a chamfer to accept the O-Ring. The seal takes place by compressing the O-Ring into the chamfer and the threads hold the connection mechanically.
Hydraulic adapters in this category include male and female SAE O-Ring Boss connections to male and female pipe configurations in straights, 45º and 90º elbow configurations.
The SAE J514 37º Hydraulic connection is very common in fluid power systems. Both the male and female halves of the connections have 37º seats. The seal takes place by establishing a line of contact between the male flare and the female cone seat. The threads hold the connection mechanically.
Hydraulic Adapter JIC flare fittings in this category include unions, bulkhead connections, flare plugs and caps, Female JIC to Male JIC, Reducers, 45º and 90º elbows in standard and long lengths, hydraulic adapter tees and crosses.
The SAE J512 45º connection is commonly used in refrigeration, automotive and truck piping systems. The connector is commonly made of brass. Both the male and female connectors have 45º seats. The seal takes place between the male flare and the female cone seat. The threads hold the connection mechanically. Within this section are the SAE 45º flare bulkhead to 45º flare and the 45º flare union fittings.
SAE J514 Straight Thread O-Ring Boss (ORB) is considered an American Connection which is recommended by the National Fluid Power Association (N.F.P.A) for optimum leakage control in medium and high pressure hydraulic systems. The male connector has a straight thread and an O-Ring. The female port has a straight thread, a machined suface (minimum spot-face) and a chamfer to accept the O-Ring. The seal takes place by compressing the O-Ring into the chamfer. The threads hold the connection mechanically. Adapter fittings in this category including ORB to 37º flare and ORB to 37º flare swivel in straights, 45º and 90º elbows and tee fittings.
The SAE J518 4-Bolt Flange connection is commonly used in fluid power systems. There are two pressure ratings. Code 61 is referred to as the "standard" series and Code 62 is the "6000 psi" series. The design concept for both series is the same, but the bolt hole spacing and flanged head diameters are larger for the higher pressure, Code 62 connection.
The female (port) is an unthreaded hole with four bolt holes in a rectangular pattern around the port. The male consists of a flanged head, grooved for an O-Ring, and either a captive flange or split flange halves with bolt holes to match the port. The seal takes place on the O-Ring, which is compressed between the flanged head and the flat surface surrounding the port. The threaded bolts hold the connection together.
