A fitting question.....

[mrcaptainbob]

I have a Bolens large frame with a FEL on it. The PO used steel line from the valve body to hydraulic hose to the cylinders. The steel lines are 3/8" and use compression fittings. Needless to say they are always leaking. There are compression fitting type T's at the valve to enable equal pressure to each set of cylinders and are used for both directions. I really need to swap this stuff out and use correct hydraulic fittings. The hose ends are the reusable kind. I'd like to use hydraulic hose directly from cylinders to T's at the valve. What are those T's called? Is there even such a thing?

Here is a steel tee JIC fitting.

SAE 37ï½° Flare (JIC) x Male Pipe (NPTF) Branch Tee

SAE 37° Flare (JIC) Tube Union Tee

SAE 37° Flare (JIC) Bulkhead Tube Union Branch Tee


A single hose goes to one side, and the two cyl hoses connect to the other ports.

As usual, you nailed it, J-J. Branch tee. So that's what they're called. Thoughtful of you to post those links, too. Thank's, J-J.
