Thumbnail Filmstrip of FJX90-08-08 | 1/2" Hose x 1/2" JIC Female Swivel 90° Images
A FJX90-08-08 | 1/2" hose x 1/2" JIC 37° female swivel is a type of hydraulic fitting that consists of two parts: a hose fitting with a 1/2" inside diameter and a JIC 37° female swivel fitting with a 1/2" tube size and a nominal thread size of 3/4"-16. This hydraulic fitting features 90 degree angled fittings, which allows the hose to be routed in a perpendicular direction to the male fitting. This is useful for applications where space is limited or where a particular hose routing is required.
Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
The numbers on hydraulic fittings refer to the size and type of the fittings. They can indicate the fitting's thread size, pitch, and compatibility with other components. This information was sourced from "Hydraulic Hose Fittings Guide: How to Find the Right One" on the Hydraulics Direct website (https://www.hydraulicsdirect.com/Unde...), specifically under the sections "Understanding the Numbers" and "Choosing the Right Fitting".
The standard for hydraulic fittings is typically governed by organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Common standards include ISO 8434 for metallic tube connections and SAE J516 for hydraulic hose fittings, which ensure compatibility, reliability, and safety in hydraulic systems.
To identify types of hydraulic fittings, you can look at the thread type (such as NPT, BSP, or metric), the sealing method (like O-ring, metal-to-metal, or tapered), and the fitting shape (such as elbow, tee, or straight). Additionally, checking the manufacturer's specifications and using a thread gauge can help ensure accurate identification.
To determine the size of a hydraulic fitting, measure the outside diameter of the threads using a caliper and count the number of threads per inch (TPI) for a male fitting, or measure the inside diameter for a female fitting. Additionally, consult the fitting's specifications or use a thread identification gauge to match these measurements to the appropriate fitting size standard, such as NPT, BSP, or JIC.
