Elbow fitting size for hydraulic top link cylinders

[Indian Territory]

I‘ve done a search, and seen this topic discussed…sort of, but I’m still uncertain what to order. I am needing right-angle elbow fittings for connection to my remote-attached top link hydraulic cylinders. Are those typically a standard size?

The exception that I hear about occasionally is British pipe thread instead of NPT.

Thanks. Do you know if the fittings are typically a standard diameter?

I would say that 3/8" NPT or -6 size if they are SAE O-Ring ports is more common than not. A couple pics with some dimensions would be useful.

If you already have your cylinder(s), this might help you figure it out - if not, yours could conceivably be 3 different possible sizes of at least 4 different fitting types - so without the cylinder or at least a spec sheet on the cylinder, you have about 1 chance in TWELVE of getting it right...

Regardless, here's a link to a helpful PDF you will likely need more than once -
