I need to replace a 90 Degree Elbow 3/4" 16 x 1-1/16-12 O-Ring Boss.
Question is, how tight do I make the o-ring side. Do I tighten it while the pump is running, until it doesn't leak?
Why the heck is there even an o-ring?
ok, so far I'm getting a lot og great information here And I appreciate it. One last question.
This is part #, 90° MALE ADAPTER, 1.06”–12 ORB X 3/4”–16 JIC.
Is "-12" in the part # above the "DASH SIZE" on this chart https://www.surpluscenter.com/images/techhelp/ORFS.pdf
If so the torque foot pounds would be 65-70. Is that correct.
I don't want to mess this up.
Thanks again
Greg
12 is the dash size, BUT the chart you linked to is for ORFS, not ORB. From John Deere's loader manual, the torque spec for 12 (3/4") ORB fitting is 34lb Ft.
Surplus center's chart makes NO SENSE to me; the dash # in hydraulics is in 1/16" increments, so a -12 is 12/16". or 3/4" (tube/hose size) - here's a chart that does NOT try to tell me a -24 is 3/4"
Torque Values for NPTF and SAE Ports | Cross Mfg.
The fittings you have are already confusing enough, going by several names - ORB, O-Ring Boss, SAE - but O ring FACE seal is NOT one of 'em.
HTH... Steve
