Sorry it took so long to get the fittings tested... had some "things" to take care of.
The power beyond ports fit in just fine. Sorry I couldn't be of help on that one.
I wanted to use 90 degree fittings on the four work ports so that all my hoses would travel in the down direction. Unfortunately, there is not enough room to put in four W's. They hit each other when I screw them in. Good news is I did not order them yet. I only ordered the ones for the in and out. I'll have to look through the fittings at Surplus Center to see what they have.
I also had to relocate the two outside valves from the rear of my mounting plate to the front of the mounting plate to accomodate the length of the power beyond port/90 degree fitting combination. The center post that I mounted the bracket to is in the way. Also, this will allow me to keep some hoses away from my legs. The outrigger valve will remain in the center where it is now.
David, On using the fittings, I am using 90 degree fittings when I can. I am using straight fittings on the cylinder side of the valves, and attaching hydraulic lines that have a built in 90 JIC. I know that you are using three joystick, but I thought that I would use electric valves on the outriggers, and using toggle switches for control..
Maybe, that 0-ring on the power beyond is a little tight. I will try again.
