A MPX-06-06 | 3/8" hose x 3/8" NPTF male pipe swivel is a type of hydraulic fitting that consists of two parts: a hose fitting with a 3/8" inside diameter and a male pipe swivel fitting with a 3/8" size and NPTF thread. The NPTF thread is a type of tapered thread commonly used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems to provide a leak-free connection. The male pipe swivel fitting has a tapered thread and a hexagonal shape, allowing it to be tightened with a wrench. The swivel design allows the fitting to rotate 360 degrees, providing flexibility in hose routing.
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".
NPT (National Pipe Thread) fittings use a tapered thread to create a seal and are commonly used in plumbing and piping applications. JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings, on the other hand, utilize a 37-degree flare seating surface to create a metal-to-metal seal, making them suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems.
No, JIC (Joint Industry Council) thread and NPT (National Pipe Thread) are not the same. JIC threads are a type of flare fitting with a 37-degree flare seating surface, while NPT threads are tapered threads used for sealing pipes and fittings. They serve different purposes and are not interchangeable.
JIC (Joint Industry Council) fittings can be identified by their 37-degree flare seating surface, which differentiates them from other types like the 45-degree flare fittings. Additionally, they are typically marked with the JIC designation or size, and the threads can be measured to match standard JIC thread sizes, which conform to SAE J514 specifications.
Hydraulic hose is typically measured by its Inner Diameter (ID). This measurement is important because it determines the flow velocity of the hydraulic fluid within the hose. Source: 1.
