When you’re out in the field and need to connect hydraulic lines with different thread types, this adapter comes in handy. Whether you’re hooking up implements, connecting hydraulic remotes, or rigging up custom hydraulic solutions, this straight connector lets you join 3/8 JIC fittings to 5/8 O-ring boss connections without hassle.
What You’re Getting
- Steel construction that handles the bumps and pressure of farm hydraulics
- Straight-through design for tight spaces where elbows won’t work
- Direct connection between JIC and O-ring boss systems
- Reliable seal that keeps hydraulic fluid where it belongs
Built for Real Farm Work
This adapter works with a wide range of tractors and hydraulic equipment where you need to match up different hydraulic connection styles. O-rings appear everywhere on modern equipment – hydraulic fittings, fuel system connections, oil filter housings, coolant joints, and air system fittings all depend on these simple but crucial seals. The O-ring boss end provides a secure seal while the JIC end gives you that reliable threaded connection.
Made to Last
Steel construction means this fitting can take the punishment that comes with farm work. 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.
Installation Notes
Thread the JIC end in snugly but don’t overtighten it. The O-ring boss end needs that O-ring to seal properly, so make sure it’s in good shape before installation. A little hydraulic fluid on the threads makes everything go together easier and helps prevent galling.
