Compact Extreme-Pressure Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings
These fittings are strong enough to handle extreme pressures, yet small enough to fit into cramped spaces. They are galvanized and zinc-plated steel, which have better corrosion resistance than plain steel fittings. BSPP and metric male threads have either a gasket, or a gasket and washer, 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. Nickel-plated brass fittings resist corrosion better than plain brass fittings.
Aluminum fittings are lighter in weight than other metal fittings. They have good corrosion resistance.
Stainless steel fittings have very good corrosion resistance. 303 stainless steel fittings won’t rust when exposed to water, making them good for areas that require frequent cleanings. Fittings with a threaded end are also known as hose nipples.
Metric, UN/UNF (SAE Straight), and BSPP male threads with gasket protect against leaks.

Push-On Barbed Hose Fittings for Hydraulic Fluid
These fittings have sharp barbs 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. Use them in low-pressure hydraulic applications up to 350 psi. Also known as hose nipples, they adapt a barbed end to a threaded end, so you can connect to pumps, cylinders, and other equipment in your hydraulic system. Fittings are zinc-plated steel, which has excellent strength and durability. Fittings have fair corrosion resistance.
Fittings that swivel until tightened rotate 360° for easy installation.
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 Minimal-Spill
Quick-Disconnect Hose Couplings for Hydraulic Fluid
Also known as flush-face couplings, the plugs and sockets have a flat face, which allows them to mate close against each other, reducing fluid loss when connecting and disconnecting the line. A complete coupling consists of a plug and a socket (both sold separately) that connect and disconnect quickly. Use them when you need frequent access to a line. All of the International Standard ISO Minimal-Spill quick-disconnect plugs are compatible with any of the International Standard ISO Minimal-Spill quick-disconnect sockets of the same coupling size, regardless of the pipe size. 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. They are zinc-plated steel, which has excellent strength and durability and fair corrosion resistance.
Plugs are also known as nipples.
Sockets are push-to-connect style. To connect, push the plug into the socket until you hear a click. To disconnect, slide the sleeve on the socket forward until the plug ejects.
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.

37° Flared Fittings for Steel Tubing
- For Use With: Air, Cutting Oil, Fuel Oil, Hydraulic Fluid, Mineral Oil
- Tubing: Use with seamless steel
- Specifications Met: SAE J514
Also known as JIC (Joint Industrial Council) fittings, these provide a tight metal-to-metal seal on tubing that is flared to 37°. They require a nut and a sleeve (ferrule) for each tube end. Nuts and sleeves are sold separately. Fittings are zinc-plated steel for fair corrosion resistance.
To prevent leaks, UN/UNF (SAE Straight) male threads have a gasket. Metric and BSPP male threads have either a gasket or a gasket and washer.

- Temperature Range: -60° to 400° F
Use these sleeves with a nut and fitting to provide a tight metal-to-metal seal on steel tubing that is flared to 37°. Sleeves are zinc-plated steel for fair corrosion resistance. They are also known as ferrules.
Inch × metric sleeve adapters convert the fitting from inch to metric.

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.

Button-Head Grease Fittings
Often used on earth movers, mining equipment, and other heavy machinery, these fittings have a T-shaped top that holds the dispensing tip in place so it won’t pop off when adding grease. They're best for machinery requiring high volumes of grease because they let more grease pass through than standard grease fittings, thanks to a larger opening. An integral check valve prevents grease from leaking when pressure causes backward flow. The valve stays closed when not in use to keep out dirt and other contaminants.
