How to Identify

Fluid Ports and Connectors


Accurate identification of ports and connectors in fluid piping
systems is necessary before the correct hose or tube assembly
can be selected and installed. With this booklet and a few
simple tools, measurement and identification is easy.
Most connectors commonly used in fluid piping systems are
included in this booklet. The connections are listed under
headings divided by the country of origin to provide further
assistance in identification.
Please consult your Danfoss representative for assistance in
identifying connectors not found in this booklet.

How to Use This Booklet


Visually identify the part by comparing it with the illustration
shown for each type of connection. Take measurements of
the I.D., O.D., threads and angles as appropriate. Compare
the measurements to the charts to convert to the correct
dash and/or thread size and the parts series.

How to Identify Fluid Ports and Connectors 5
How to Measure Threads

Use a thread pitch gauge


to determine the number
of threads per inch or the
distance between threads
in metric connections. Place
the gauge on the threads
until the fit is snug. Match
the measurement to the
charts.
Measure the thread diam-
eter with an I.D./O.D. caliper

6 How to Identify Fluid Ports and Connectors


How to Measure Sealing
Surface Angles
Female connections are
usually measured by insert-
ing the gauge into the
connection and placing it
on the sealing surface. If the
centerlines of the connec-
tion and gauge are parallel,
the correct angle has been
determined.
Male flare type connectors
are measured by placing
the gauge on the sealing
surface. If the centerlines of
the connection and gauge
are parallel, the correct angle
has been determined.

SAE J518 4-Bolt Flange*


This connection is commonly used in fluid power systems.
There are two pressure ratings. Code 61 is referred to as the
“standard” series and Code 62 is the “6000 psi” series. The
design concept for both series is the same, but the bolt hole
spacing and flanged head diameters are larger for the higher
pressure, Code 62 connection.
The female (port) is an unthreaded hole with four bolt holes
in a rectangular pattern around the port. The male consists
of a flanged head, grooved for an O-Ring, and either
a captive flange or split flange halves with bolt holes to
match the port. The seal takes place on the O-Ring, which is
compressed between the flanged head and the flat surface
surrounding the port. The threaded bolts hold the connec-
tion together.

This connection is commonly used in fluid power systems.
There are two pressure ratings. PN 35/350 bar (Code 61) is the
“standard” series, and PN 415 bar (Code 62) is the high pressure
series. The design concept for both series is the same, but the
bolt hole spacing and flanged head diameters are larger for the
high pressure, PN 415 bar connection. Both metric and inches
bolts are used. The port will have an “M” stamped on it if metric
bolts are required.
The female (port) is an unthreaded hole with four bolt holes in
a rectangular pattern around the port. The male consists of a

Threads and O-Ring Seal
This port connection is similar to the SAE J514 Straight Thread
O-Ring Boss (ORB). The major difference is that this connection
uses metric threads. The male connector has a straight thread
and an O-Ring. The female port has a straight thread, a machined
surface (minimum spotface) and a chamfer to accept the O-Ring.
The seal takes place by compressing the O-Ring into the cham-
fer. The threads hold the connection mechanically.

DIN 20066 4-Bolt Flange*


This connection is commonly used in fluid power systems.
There are two pressure ratings. Form R (Code 61) is referred to
as the “standard duty” series, and Form S (Code 62) is the “heavy
duty” series. The design concept for both series is the same, but
the bolt hole spacing and flanged head diameters are larger for
the higher pressure, Form S connection. Both metric and inch
bolts are used.
The female (port) is an unthreaded hole with four bolt holes in
a rectangular pattern around the port. The male consists of a
flanged head, grooved for an o-ring, and either a captive flange
or split flange halves with bolt holes to match the port. The
seal takes place on the o-ring, which is compressed between
the flanged head and the flat surface surrounding the port. The
threaded bolts hold the connection together.

*DIN 20066, ISO/DIS 6162, JIS B 8363, JIS B 8363 Komatsu Flange,

The BSPT (tapered) connection is similar to the NPT, except
that the thread pitches are different in most sizes, and the
thread form and O.D.’s are close but not the same. Sealing
is accomplished by thread distortation. A thread sealant is
recommended.

The BSPP (parallel) male is similar to the NPSM male except


the thread pitches are different in most sizes. The female
swivel BSPP has a tapered nose/Globeseal flareless swivel
which seals on the cone seat of the male.

JIS B 8363 Komatsu Flange


The Komatsu flange is nearly identical to SAE Code 61
flanges, with the exception that it uses a metric O-ring and
includes an additional flange size, -10. It conforms to JIS B
8363.
The female (port) is an unthreaded hole with four bolt holes
in a rectangular pattern around the port. The male consists
of a flanged head, grooved for an o-ring, and either a captive
flange or split flange halves with bolt holes to match the
port. The seal takes place on the o-ring, which is compressed
between the flanged head and the flat surface surrounding
the port. The threaded bolts hold the connection together.

*JIS B 8363 Komatsu Flange, JIS B 8363, ISO/DIS 6162, DIN 20066, and
SAE J518 are interchangeable, except for bolt sizes.

Oil Pan-Plug Threads

How to Identify Oil Pan-Plug Thread Sizes


These connections are found on engine oil pans of all types
ranging from on and off road vehicles, marine vessels, and
construction equipment, to in-plant equipment fluid reser-
voirs. The thread styles range from straight threads with no
chamfers to NPTF threads.
Danfoss has selected a single jacketed copper crush gasket
to use on all FLOCS coupling and adapter straight threads
where sealing is against the pan itself. In these applications
there will be plugs on the equipment to measure, so the
male thread dimension is given in this chart.

O-Ring Pilot Threads

How to Identify O-Ring Pilot Thread Sizes


This connection is common to air conditioning systems,
both in vehicle and commercial applications. Both the male
and female halves of the connections have a pilot, either
long or short. The seal takes place by compressing an o-ring
adjacent to the bead of the tube. The threads hold the con-
nection together mechanically.
