Extreme-Pressure Stainless Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings
With the strength to handle extreme pressures, these fittings can be used to connect equipment in hydraulic fluid lines. 316 stainless steel fittings have excellent corrosion resistance.
NPTF (Dryseal) threads are compatible with NPT threads. UN/UNF (SAE Straight) threads are also known as O-ring boss threads; the male threads have a gasket to prevent leaks.

Metal Barbed Hose Fittings for Air and Water
Slide the barbed end into rubber hose and secure with the appropriate clamp or crimp-on hose ferrule.
Brass fittings are softer than other metal fittings, so they’re easier to thread together. Plain brass fittings have good corrosion resistance. Fittings with a threaded end are also known as hose nipples.
Fittings with a 45° flared end are also known as refrigeration and SAE fittings.

Metal Push-On Barbed Hose Fittings for Air and Water
Fittings have sharper barbs than standard barbed hose fittings to grip rubber push-on hose with no clamps or ferrules required. The more you pull on the fittings, the tighter the hose will grip.
Brass fittings are softer than other metal fittings, so they’re easier to thread together. They have good corrosion resistance.
Fittings with a flared end meet JIC or SAE standards for dimensions. Fittings with a 45° flared end are also known as refrigeration and SAE fittings. Fittings with a female 37° and 45° flared end have a dual-angle seat that accepts both 37° and 45° flared fittings.
The optional installation tool (sold separately) allows you to connect large quantities of barbed fittings to push-on hose. Use the built-in cutter to squarely cut the hose without fraying. Next, lubricate either the push-on hose, fitting or both. Then, clamp the hose into the tool’s vise and apply light pressure on the handle to drive into the fitting.
Note: To ensure proper connection, the barbed end has to be pushed in all the way, with the hose end concealed by the ring.

International Standard ISO B Quick-Disconnect Hose Couplings for Hydraulic Fluid
A complete coupling consists of a plug and a socket (both sold separately) that connect and disconnect quickly. Use them if you need frequent access to a hydraulic hose line. All of the International Standard ISO B quick-disconnect plugs are compatible with any of the International Standard ISO B quick-disconnect sockets of the same coupling size, regardless of the pipe size. Couplings meet ISO 7241-1 Series B dimensional and performance standards and are compatible with Parker 60 couplings. Also known as double shut-off couplings, the plugs and sockets both have a shut-off valve that stops the flow when the coupling is separated.
Push-to-connect sockets are easier to connect than sleeve-lock sockets. Connect by pushing the plug into the socket until you hear a click. To disconnect, slide the sleeve on the socket forward until the plug ejects.
Zinc-plated steel is stronger and more durable than other metals. It has fair corrosion resistance.
Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size. Pressure ratings are given for static (constant) pressure conditions.
Warning: Never attempt to connect or disconnect couplings when operating at maximum pressure. Stop the flow before you disconnect the line.

Also known as JIC (Joint Industrial Council) fittings, these provide a tight metal-to-metal seal on tubing that is flared to 37°. They withstand high pressure, so they’re often used in hydraulic applications. Made from 316 stainless steel, they resist corrosion from water and chemicals. A complete fitting requires a nut and a sleeve (ferrule) for each tube end. Nuts and sleeves are sold separately.

Grease Fittings
Thread these fittings into motors, bearings, engine blocks, and other machinery to create a lubrication point. They’re also known as hydraulic grease fittings.
Zinc-plated steel fittings have mild corrosion resistance.
Fittings with a check valve prevent grease from leaking when pressure causes backward flow. The valve stays closed when not in use to keep out dirt and other contaminants.
UNF threads are similar to threads on a machine screw or bolt. They require a sealant, such as an O-ring, to minimize leakage.
