pioneer 60 series quick disconnect

[wykubotaguy]

Question on parker pioneer 60 series couplers. If i have 3/8 males and want to attach 1/2 hose w/ female connectors can I get 1/2 couplers. Will that work or do I need to go from the 3/8 to 1/2 with pipe adapters?
thanks

You can do it either way. The larger 1/2" coupler will allow more flow, if you need more flow. It is cheaper to buy adapters to go from 1/2 to 3/8 rather then buy new couplers. What kind of gpm and flow pressure do you have/need?

Not worried about the flow radman. The males are on my loader valve, so can't be changed. Trying to hook up a log splitter through loader valve as have not had time to do a proper setup. From your post i get that the physical dimensions change between 3/8 & 1/2 not just the npt size.

If you aren't changing the male coupler, then the female coupler needs to stay the same as well. I just looked to see if we offer a 3/8" ISO 7241-1 B coupler with 1/2" NPTF thread. Unfortunately, that is not available.

Your best bet is an adapter to go from the 3/8" NPTF thread on your coupler to the 1/2" NPTF thread on your hose. The link below shows you what you need, in both steel and 316 stainless steel.

I am not quite following you. The coupler you stated comes in different npt hose connection sizes but would otherwise be the same coupler. Depending on the hydraulic flow rate of your tractor, a change from 3/8" hose to 1/2" hose on the log splitter may not make a difference. If the log splitter already has a 1/2" hose as the standard hose, just buy adapters to go from 3/8 to 1/2". If you need to buy new couplers anyway for the log splitter, just buy the 1/2" npt couplers and put the new couplers on the log splitter hoses.

What I am asking is, will a 3/8 male quick coupler connect to a 1/2 female coupler of which all are pioneer 60 series.

Yes, it should connect.

Yes, it should connect.

How is that? We are not talking about thread size here...

No, it won't. Just like HH Guy wrote
