The hose fitting has a 3/4" inside diameter, which ensures it can handle a substantial flow of hydraulic fluid, making it suitable for various hydraulic systems requiring efficient fluid transfer. This product is often referred to as "mp-12" in the category of hydraulic fittings.
The male pipe fitting is 3/4" in size, which is a standard size for many mp hydraulic fittings, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of systems and components.
The male pipe fitting has an NPTF thread, which stands for National Pipe Taper Fuel. This thread type is designed to create a seal as it is tightened, providing a reliable and leak-free connection without the need for additional sealing components. It is part of the mp hydraulic fittings category.
While the NPTF thread is designed to create a seal on its own, using sealing tape or thread sealant can enhance the connection for mp hydraulic fittings and ensure it remains leak-free under various conditions, providing an extra layer of security for high-pressure applications.
Yes, this product interchanges with Weatherhead 12U-112, making it a versatile choice for those looking to replace or upgrade their mp hydraulic fittings with compatible parts.
This hydraulic fitting is beneficial due to its standard sizing, NPTF thread design, and compatibility with other products like Weatherhead 12U-112. These features ensure a secure, leak-free connection, making it ideal for maintaining efficient and reliable hydraulic systems. As part of the mp hydraulic fittings category, it offers reliable performance and interchangeability.
NPT (National Pipe Taper) and NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) pipe fittings both have tapered threads, but they differ in their sealing characteristics. NPT fittings require a sealing compound or tape to prevent leaks, as the threads alone do not ensure a leak-proof seal. In contrast, NPTF fittings are designed to create a dry mechanical seal without the need for additional sealing materials, as their threads are precision-designed to deform slightly upon assembly, creating a tighter seal.
The NPTF thread in mp hydraulic fittings has a tapered design that allows it to form a seal as it is tightened into a matching female NPTF fitting. This tapering ensures a tight fit, minimizing the risk of leaks and enhancing the reliability of the connection in hydraulic systems.
Number 12 hydraulic hose typically refers to a hose with an inside diameter of 3/4 inch. Hydraulic hoses are sized based on their internal diameter, and the number 12 corresponds to the standard dash size system used in the industry, where each dash size represents 1/16 of an inch. Therefore, a dash 12 hose has an internal diameter of 12/16 inches, or 3/4 inch.
