Hydraulic Fitting

06/13/2012 8:28 AM

I am trying to locate a 3/4in JIC adapter fitting(male to female)with a 22.5 degree angle. I've only been able to find 45's and 90's eg. Weatherhead p/n C5356x12 for a 45.

Exactly like that but only with a 22.5 degree angle, not 45 degree.

Is there space for two fittings, such that two of a non-22.5deg angle can be swivelled relative to each other to make the required 22.5deg angle?

Very limited space. The equipment it is on uses a 45 degree fitting and the hose rubs and wears through.(Hot spraying oil is NOT good for the operator) We have replaced the hose multiple times as part of our PM schedule. Relocating the hose/valve body is not an option either. The Equipment design leaves something to be desired as this is only one problem we are having.

Put a metal sleeve over the hose, or have an adapter machined or modified.

Check the internet or a hose shop for Parker hose fittings. They manufacture a multitude of aerospace and JIC fittings.

Thank you all for the replies. The application is on the bucket end of a boom truck. This precludes any type of ridgid sleeve(we have tried various shields/sleeves). We cannot modify the boom itself. (Inspectors frown on that sort of thing).

If this is a replacement fitting the boom Mfg. should have them. Order a dozen.

As noted earlier the equipment design leaves something to be desired. Their spec IS a 45deg. fitting.

Is there room to put in place a brass block drilled and threaded to a 22.5 degree offset? Then you could use straight fittings into the block. Or a length of hose incorporating a 337.5 degree loop.

Found a fitting! one of our suppliers found the fitting we were looking for. Apparently they are common on RollerCoasters!
