Ok, I'm going to have to show my inexperience and ask for help with my couplings. I asked for the flat face couplings to be removed since I didn't have a skid steer. The hoses came in as 1/4 inch and have 1/2 inch threads on them. I have 3/8 inch couplings so I went and bought the middle adapter you see in the picture. The problem is that it pours hydraulic fluid when I connected them and it is not coming around the treads on either coupling. It appears to be coming around the end of the coupling away from the threads (behind the 3rd nut on the coupling from the left in the picture at the top. I don't know how else to explain it. This pece will turn easily even with the threads tight. It lets the entire coupling turn. I don't think it has any kind of O ring in it. Did the guy give me the wrong coupling? I told them it was going on a grapple.
Thanks
