lk3054 hydraulic valve block fittings

[Jim_in_Omaha]

I'll post this here since I was not paying attention the first time...


Does anybody know what size the fitting is that needs to go into the hydraulic valve block? I know it's not 16mm. It might be 5/8? There are 3 of them and I'm wanting to replace the ones I got with o-ring to #6 JIC 37's and get rid of the lousy banjo style stuff thats on there now. I keep blowing out seals.
thanks
Jim

Didn't we just answer this for you here?

You can go to www.hydraulichosefittings.com or www.fittingsandadapters.com and download a printable chart that shows actual thread sizes and fitting diameters.

I put it in the wrong forum and didn't like it there. I appreciate the input.

I thought maybe someone knew without a doubt which one it is that way I would just order from that site the parts. I already ordered 3 fittings that were wrong and have a $8 shipping bill to eat which is not a big deal, but the wait for the parts to get here is the tough part.

The 3/8 BSPP O.D. is 17.3mm and the banjo fitting I took out was 16.4mm on the micrometer at 1.5 mm threads. I know it may be possible because of a slight amount of play in the fitting when turned part way in. When I get a chance I'll try some of the local hydraulic store later and see if they have any 3/8 BSPP stuff.

Just for the record,

I did find some 90 degree fittings that work. And they are 3/8 BSPP to 3/8 JIC. They were about 13 bucks each /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

thanks to all for the help
