Frequently asked questions
Common questions about AEROQUIP from 3G Electric.
What thread standards do Aeroquip hydraulic hose adapters meet?
Aeroquip hydraulic hose adapters in the 3G Electric catalog reference several SAE standards, including SAE J514, J513, J512, J1926, and J1453. These standards define dimensions, thread forms, and performance criteria for hydraulic connections. For example, the JIC-to-JIC steel adapter (MPN 203102-8-8S) lists SAE J514, J513, J512, J1926, and J1453. The NPTF-to-NPTF rigid adapters (MPN 2081-16-8S and 2081-24-20S) reference SAE/JIC 37° and include thread sizes such as 1"-11-1/2 and 1/2"-14. The NPSM-to-NPTF swivel adapter (MPN 2049-20-20S) also lists SAE J514, J513, J512, J1926, and J1453. Buyers should verify the specific standard required for their application against the part's published specifications.
What are the specifications of Aeroquip FC579 high-impulse hydraulic jacking system hose assemblies?
Aeroquip FC579 hose assemblies are supplied with a 1/4 in inside diameter and a 6 ft length. The tube is black rubber. Fitting options include 1/4 in NPTF x M Coupler and M Coupler x M Coupler. These assemblies are built to MHI 1J100 and carry MSHA approval. They are intended for high-pressure hydraulic circuits in jacking systems and heavy equipment. The FC579 line is designed for high-impulse service, meaning the hose construction is rated for repeated pressure cycles. When ordering, confirm the fitting type and thread size match the port or adapter on the equipment. 3G Electric lists multiple FC579 configurations, including SKU HB-9206Q and SKU HC-9206C.
Are Aeroquip brass barbed hydraulic hose fittings reusable?
Yes. The Aeroquip brass barbed hydraulic hose fitting (SKU 4738-6-6B, MPN 4738-6-6B) is listed as reusable. It has a male hose barb on one end and a male NPTF thread on the other, and is designed for -6 dash size hoses with a 3/8 in inside diameter. Reusable fittings can be removed and reinstalled on a compatible hose, which can be useful for maintenance and temporary repairs. The fitting is made of brass, which provides corrosion resistance in many fluid power environments. Confirm the hose inside diameter and thread size before installation. This fitting is not crimpable; it relies on the barb and clamp or ferrule method for attachment.
What sizes of Aeroquip NPTF-to-NPTF steel hydraulic hose adapters are available?
The 3G Electric catalog includes Aeroquip NPTF-to-NPTF rigid steel adapters in multiple sizes. The 2081-16-8S has a 1 in male NPTF end and a 1/2 in female NPTF end, with thread sizes 1"-11-1/2 and 1/2"-14. The 2081-24-20S has a 1 1/2 in male NPTF end and a 1 1/4 in female NPTF end, with thread sizes 1-1/2"-11-1/2 and 1-1/4"-11-1/2. Both are rigid, straight adapters with male x female gender and are not crimpable. They are used to connect hydraulic components such as pumps, valves, and cylinders. Additional sizes may be available; check with 3G Electric for current stock and part numbers.
What is the difference between Aeroquip JIC and NPTF hydraulic hose adapters?
JIC (Joint Industry Council) and NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) adapters differ in thread form and sealing method. JIC adapters use a 37° flare seat and straight threads, sealing metal-to-metal at the flare. NPTF adapters use tapered threads and seal by thread interference. Aeroquip JIC adapters, such as the 203102-8-8S, are often used in mobile and industrial hydraulic systems where flare connections are standard. NPTF adapters, such as the 2081-16-8S, are commonly used to connect to pipe ports on pumps, valves, and cylinders. The two types are not interchangeable without an adapter. The NPSM-to-NPTF swivel adapter (2049-20-20S) is used to join a straight-thread swivel port to a tapered pipe port. Always match thread type and size to the mating component.
What hose dash sizes do Aeroquip crimp hydraulic hose fittings support?
Aeroquip crimp hydraulic hose fittings in the 3G Electric catalog include configurations for specific hose dash sizes. The 90° elbow crimp fitting with JIC female swivel connection (SKU 3G-OTH-452387) is designed for hose dash size -16, with a 1-5/16"-12 thread. It is a steel fitting with a crimp end for permanent hose attachment and is not reusable. The fitting references SAE J1453, J1926, J512, J514, and J701. Crimp fittings require a compatible crimping machine and correct die set to achieve the specified crimp diameter. Verify the hose dash size, thread size, and crimp specification before ordering. Other dash sizes and configurations may be available through 3G Electric.
