How hydraulic fittings work!

NPT: National Pipe Taper NPS: National Pipe Straight BSPT: British Standard Pipe Taper BSPP: British Standard Pipe Paralle

Brilliant videos. No bullshit and straight to the point. Got a 1981 mini here custom hydraulics from 30 years ago! This helped me decipher what fittings I had and to use PTFE tape on the necessary connections.

[@farrokhfaramarzi]

very nice and helpful, quick, short and comprehensive. thank you

[@dansproshop]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bradleytenderholt5135]

Great video. Keep going you will be big. It takes time.

[@dansproshop]

I appreciate it!

[@mdouglaswray]

LOVE the intro a la Whose Line Is It!!!!!! Fun right off the bat.

[@dansproshop]

Bravo! You are officially the first one to catch that! I absolutely loved that show!

[@BrandonLayMusic]

Really good man thank you

[@dansproshop]

No problem!

[@johnmartin7737]

Consistently great and informative content. Love it keep up the great work Dan.

[@dansproshop]

Much appreciated!

[@mdouglaswray]

Thanks for drawing the comparison of JIC to NEMA, I was suspecting that AS you said it.

[@TalRohan]

useful stuff thanks....looking forward to the next one.

That O-Ring fitting is called "MS" -Machine Standard.

[@johne189]

Curious... Why is the end discussed at 2:02 described as JIC and not NPTF? From here, it looks like NPTF with 30° seat, ideal for connecting to a "pipe" swivel, which would seal at the flare, rather than threads. I can't think of a common production fitting (non swivel) which would accommodate coupling together two male end JIC fittings. What'd I miss?

[@ubahd00d]

Agreed, JIC is straight thread, NPT is tapered thread, you'd have trouble coupling those two

[@sammills8121]

It is almost certainly NPTF, definitely tapered or else why have the teflon tape. JIC is parallel. The flare on the NPTF is also 30 degrees while the JIC is 37. Very basic stuff, not to be rude but this person has no business making videos on this. Misinformation is dangerous in hydraulics.

[@Buddy-po4hv]

Thank you sir

[@haraldpost]

Great video!

[@dansproshop]

Thanks!

[@Buck-y2f]

Wish it were longer with more info on sizes and different types of disconnects etc. Great introduction !!! Thank You. 😊

[@tmillsaz]

👍

[@Ratlins9]

Thanks Dan, good information as always and took my mind off of the Eagles.

[@DieTrying13]

So happy I stumbled on this channel. Great content!

[@dansproshop]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@alekseimarianov3388]

Sorry for jumping in, but you just got a bit confused with terminology. 1) NPT = National Pipe Tapered. These are tapered and indeed form a seal after 4-6 turns. By the way, your Teflon tape is applied too high. You literally need to wrap a couple of turns at the bottom as this is where the actual seal is formed. Teflon not only seals, but also lubricates the joint. 2) NPS or National Pipe Straight fittings indeed need an O-ring to seal. But this is not a British standard! This is still American! Actual BSP type connectors use slightly different thread pitches and they are also rolled to Whitworth 55 degree thread profile while National standard utilizes 60 degree threading. Hope it helps!:):)

[@MikeBaxterABC]

Posting before watchnight entire video ... Isn't JIC Interchangeable with AN?

[@N.Cognito]

If like to see a video explaining more on why certain types are used in each application vs just standardizing everything to one type.

[@deltadetrix]

is there a difference between AN fittings and JIC?

[@TheGoorga]

Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰 Dude just found your channel. Love your laid back easy down to earth mentality 😊 I build trucks for a living. Mounting knuckleboom cranes and hooklifts on 4 Axels cabover trucks. Building complete hydraulics systems. In the shop we got like 4 different hydraulic standards. JIC BSP METRICS LIGHT METRICS HEAVY as standard we build in BSP On cranes its metric and hooklifts its JIC 🙈

[@dansproshop]

That’s awesome! Thanks for the great comment!!

[@licole-bb7jx]

We are a manufacturer of hydraulic hose fittings. Do you need it?

[@ironsmith9769]

boss isn't the same as bspp is it?

[@diazaa]

not same

[@JCcanU]

Fixing Farm Equipment you use just about all the fittings.

[@ar1701]

I've watched several of your videos/shorts I understand were all supposed to be immensely impressed with you and I'm trying .... I'm trying, but the sluggo wrench?? I have never meet a nut/bolt I couldnt out do with a very large pipe wrench or cuttting a narrow slot in nut with a hand grinder then the pipe wrench more money dont make more smart lol
