I am trying to fit a quick disconnect to the hydraulic line of my new scissor lift so that the hose to to the pump does not lie on the floor when the lift is not in use.
The system uses face o ring type fittings. The image below shows the plug that was used to block off the hose at the pump end for shipping. The other end came attached to the cylinders on the lift via a junction block machined for this same o ring fitting.
When I took the plug to my local hydraulic “expert” he said it was metric and he didn't deal with metric. I was also told that he couldn't simply cut the hose and put the disconnect between the pieces since his fitting would not match metric hose.
I really don't have enough knowledge or information to call around or to order something on line. Here's what I do know.
While the fitting is most likely metric, 14 x 150, it seems very close to 9/16 x18 and the literature also lists “ORS thread”. I'll try and dig up a better thread gauge.
Here is the closes thing I can find. https://www.hydraulicsdirect.com/ORFS-Plug-p/fs2408.htm
The difference is that on my fitting the o ring is captured by the female part and merely rests on the nub on the end.
Note also that there is no ORS size 9/16 listed.
Seems it shouldn't be all this complicated.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
