What is SAE J1926?
SAE J1926-2 details the external port stud for heavy-duty designs. This port stud is used primarily on ORFS (O-ring Face Seal) parts per SAE J1453.
What is SAE 6 port size?
SAE 45° Flare (SAE J512)
| Inch size | Dash size | Female thread O.D (in) |
|---|---|---|
| 1⁄4 | -4 | 13⁄32 |
| 5⁄16 | -5 | 15⁄32 |
| 3⁄8 | -6 | 9⁄16 |
| 1⁄2 | -8 | 11⁄16 |
What are SAE ports?
A threaded hole and stud system that may be used to attach fittings to a component or manifold. Sealed with an o-ring or gasket.
What is SAE Orb?
SAE Straight Thread O-ring or O-Ring Boss (ORB) is a multipurpose thread ideal for medium and high-pressure hydraulic applications. The male thread contains an o-ring at the base which mates with a chamfer machined into the female counterpoint, which makes this thread type ideal for non-leak applications.
What size is #6 hydraulic fitting?
3/8-18
From the hydraulic catalog, the fitting can be identified as a NPTF/ MALE/SWIVEL. The -6 fitting has 3/8-18 threads, which can be identified using the calipers, thread gauge and the following tables.
Are SAE and NPT the same?
What’s the difference between SAE & NPT threads? The biggest difference is SAE is a straight thread, it needs additional O-ring, gasket or sealing surface to form a seal; NPT thread is a taper thread, it can form a seal using its thread pitch.
Is JIC the same as SAE?
JIC fittings are dimensionally identical to AN (Army-Navy) fittings, but are produced to less exacting tolerances and are generally less costly. SAE 45-degree flare fittings are similar in appearance, but are not interchangeable, though dash sizes 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 14, and 16 share the same thread size.
Is orb and SAE the same?
O-Ring Boss: The threads of the SAE straight thread O-Ring Boss (ORB) and the straight thread 37⁰ JIC Flare are the same threads. The difference is the way each thread seals. While the JIC seals on a metal-to-metal flare, the ORB seals on an O-ring, which offers the best leak free connection.
Do Orb fittings need thread sealant?
No sealant is needed for NPT-F threads, but tape is used for lube. If you like to tighten things a lot get yourself some hydraulic line wrenches, they are stubby and thin and will not let you overtighten lines much.
What size is #6 hydraulic hose?
3/8″
People new to the hydraulic industry often ask what hose dash size means. Simply put, a dash size refers to an I.D. of a hydraulic hose or fitting in 1/16″ increments. For example, -6 hose would indicate a hose with I.D. of 6/16″ – or 3/8″.
What is JIC stand for?
JIC means “just in case.” It’s commonly used to share a piece of information or convince someone of an action that probably won’t be necessary but might be.
What does Orb stand for in fittings?
Connection Types: ORB (O-Ring Boss) ORB, or (SAE Straight Thread O-ring Boss) fittings, incorporate a port connection as recommended by the National Fire Protection Association (N.F.P.A.) for leak prevention in medium and high pressure hydraulic systems.
