Hydraulic fittings or adapters with a 60 degree angle are a type of connection used in hydraulic systems. These adapters typically have a tapered shape and are used to connect pipes or hoses in hydraulic applications where a 60-degree angle is required to accommodate the needs of the installation.
The Hydraulic Fitting with 60º angled thread consists of two main parts: the male adapter and the female part. The adapter has one male thread with a 60 degree taper seat on the end, and the other has a female thread with a 60 degree taper seat where the adapter sits.
When the two parts are joined and tightened correctly, the conical seats engage, creating a tight seal that prevents fluid leaks. Hydraulic adapters with a 60-degree angle can have various configurations, such as male thread or female thread, hose-thread , spherical, screws and can be available in different sizes, 1/8, ¼, 3/8, ½, 5/8, ¾, 1”, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, 2” etc… and different diameters to adapt to the specific needs of the hydraulic system.
The oleohydraulic fittings with 60 degree thread are made of carbon steel, they withstand a temperature between -20ºC and 120ºC. There are links that combine 60 degree threads with others such as BSP, NPT, ORFS, METRICA, JIC/SAE etc... to be able to make all types of splices and adaptations.
There is a wide range of accessories with this thread, straight fittings, 45º angled, 90º angled, plugs, adapters, tees, unions, wall grommets, etc.
These adapters are used in a wide variety of hydraulic applications, including heavy machinery systems, industrial equipment, transportation systems and marine applications. They are especially common in hydraulic systems that require angular connections to accommodate curves or conform to system geometry.
It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommended installation specifications and procedures to ensure proper mounting and reliable performance of 60-degree angle hydraulic adapters. This may include using proper tools and torques, properly cleaning and preparing connecting surfaces, and regularly inspecting connections for leaks or wear.
