Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
To identify JIC fittings, first measure the outer diameter of the male thread or the inner diameter of the female thread using a caliper. Then, compare these measurements to a JIC thread size chart to determine the correct size, ensuring the fitting has a 37-degree flare angle, characteristic of JIC fittings.
The numbers on hydraulic hoses typically indicate the hose's diameter, pressure rating, and compliance with specific industry standards. For example, a number like "1/2-12" might denote a 1/2-inch diameter hose with a 12,000 PSI pressure rating. These markings help ensure the hose is suitable for its intended application.
To identify hydraulic fitting types, examine the shape and thread patterns, as these can indicate the fitting's type, such as JIC, NPT, BSP, or ORFS. Additionally, check for any markings or labels on the fitting, and consider the application and connection requirements, as these can also provide clues about the fitting type.
A hose cap is used to seal the end of a hose, preventing water or other fluids from leaking out when the hose is not in use. It helps maintain pressure within the hose system and keeps out dirt, debris, and insects, ensuring the hose remains clean and functional. Hose caps are particularly useful for garden hoses, preventing water wastage and maintaining the integrity of the hose.
The hydraulic hose cap covers and seals the ends of hydraulic hose fittings to keep out dust, dirt, and other contaminants. This helps extend the life of the fitting by protecting the threads when not in use, which is essential for maintaining the integrity and performance of hydraulic systems.
