Description
Working on hydraulic repairs and finding yourself with mismatched threads is just part of farm life. Whether you’re rebuilding a cylinder, replacing a pump, or connecting an aftermarket gauge, you’ll eventually need to adapt between different thread types. This straight adapter lets you connect a 7/8-14 JIC fitting to a 3/4-14 NPTF port without having to hunt down special hoses or fittings.
What You’re Getting
- Dual male design that connects JIC hydraulic fittings to NPT threaded ports
- Compact straight-through design that won’t take up extra space in tight spots
- 1-1/8″ hex for easy installation with standard wrenches
- 5000 PSI operating pressure rating handles high-pressure hydraulic systems
- Quality construction that seals properly and won’t leak under pressure
Built for Hydraulic Connections
This adapter is handy when you’re working with hydraulic systems that mix JIC and NPT fittings. JIC fittings are common on hydraulic hoses and implements, while NPT threads are often found on gauges, valves, and some pump ports. The straight design keeps connections clean and direct without adding unnecessary bends or bulk to your setup.
Made to Handle the Pressure
Farm hydraulics operate under serious pressure, and cheap fittings can cause expensive problems. Quality seals rated for hydraulic pressures ensure leak-free operation throughout the fitting’s service life. The AgSmart construction is built to handle the daily demands of agricultural hydraulic systems without failing when you need them most.
Installation Notes
Thread sealant appropriate for hydraulic systems should be used on pipe threads – avoid tape that can contaminate the system. Ensure proper thread engagement without over-tightening which can crack fittings. The 1-1/8″ hex gives you good purchase with a wrench, but remember that hydraulic fittings seal on their threads, not by cranking them down hard.
