A #6 hydraulic fitting refers to a fitting with a 3/8-inch nominal size, as the "#6" corresponds to the six-sixteenths of an inch (3/8") in hydraulic system terminology. The actual dimensions of the fitting may vary depending on the specific type and standard (e.g., JIC, ORFS), but the nominal size remains consistent. See full answer »
