I purchased a BARE-co cylinder on Ebay and I'm not real sure on the size of the ports. I think it is an Australian company.
These are the specs:4"Bore x 18" Stroke
Shaft Diameter 2"
Closed Length 28 1/4"
Pin Diameter 1"
Ports 3/4" UN O-Ring
Working Pressure 3,000 lbs
Is this the same as an SAE 8 fitting?
I got the cylinder brand new for $97.00 including $40.00 for shipping, hopefully I can find the right fittings. I plan on using it to add a boom pole to my 3pt trailer mover.
Thanks, Matt

Perhaps this. Straight thread ORB to NPT.

JJ,
I found BARE-Co's website. They have an office in Sacramento but do not sell directly to customers. They have an adapter PN B3440 which isA 3/4 UNO toB 1/2 NP. I have to fill out a parts request and then they forward it to a dealer. Maybe one of the hydraulics guys on TBN handles BARE-Co? Here is a pic of the adapter.

PS, I always like reading your replies. How long did it take you to gain such vast knowledge?

That's a common-as-dirt fitting that you shouln't have to jump through hoops to find. Baum, Surplus Center or any local hydraulics shop or reasonably well-stocked equipment dealership likely has in stock at a nominal cost.

In your private message, I thought you were looking for female thread on the NPTF side. If you actually want a male thread, then the photo JJ posted is of the fitting you want. 6401-08-08 on our web site. It is a pretty common fitting. You can order it here O-Ring Boss (ORB) x Male Pipe NPTF) Adapter or you can probably find it a local hydraulic repair shop.

Thanks Ken,

I'll wait until the cylinder arrives to order the adapter. That gives me time to see what else I need. I had never heard of a UNO fitting before.

Neither had I. Until yesterday, UNO was just a card game to me. :)

Seems people make up their own names for things all of the time. I did some sleuthing on the Bareco web site, and determined that "UNO" was some kind of shorthand for UNF thread with an O-Ring. I already knew that SAE.ORB fittings all use UNF thread, so it was an easy leap to figure out what they were talking about.

G'day guys don't you lot start on having strange way of saying things sometimes it can take me hours to work out what you are talking about:laughing:. But seriously Bare co stuff is of a good quality and you are right they are an aus co been supplying aftermarket parts for years and i have not had an issue with their stuff
also there is a very good size chart on their website to help you work out hyd fittins
