Does anyone know a source for bulkhead hydraulic quick disconnects. I need to mount them to a hole in a plate don't want them moving around. I tried Discount Hyd and Surplus Center.

Check here:
Male JIC To Male Pipe Bulkhead
Call them if you need something diferrent...

You can also search thier site for "bulkhead" to see other options.

Personally I would stay away from HydraulicHoseFittings.com. Plenty of people here have had very bad experiences with them including non-delivery of items (they are only a broker and stock nothing and their place of business is a residential house). They are also impossible to get in touch with and they never answer emails.

The best place to get hydraulic fittings is from Discount Hydraulic Hose. They are a storefront and you get to talk to a knowledgable person and they have their catalogs on line. There are plenty of people here on TBN who have dealt with DHH, including myself.

Mad is correct as usual, I forgot about the problems with them and I still had it in my favorites. My bad!

Do a search for bulkhead at DHH, there are allot of options...

Thanks for the replys. I'm working up an order for DHH now. I looked at there QD's and could not find a bulkhead QD. Maybe I'm imagining I saw them somewhere before. Maybe there is no such animal.

OK, I see I need to use the JIC x MPT bulkhead and the screw the QD onto that. Thanks.

Can't say I have ever seen a bulkhead and quick disconnect fitting in one before. Your on track with buying the seperate fitting's and making your own. If there are any hydraulic repair shops in your area you might try there as well. In my area they usually have excellent assortments of fitting's to pick from. Would save on shipping to.

The people at DHH are very helpfull. Give them a call with your questions. One of them has even posted here before. Tell them you heard about DHH here at TBN.

Here's how I solved the QD mounting problem without buying any special parts:

I used standard off the shelf QD's and mounted them in a block of 1/2" aluminum bored to fit the diameter of the QD and held in place with a 1/4-20 setscrew.

I guess I should have wiped off the oil and dirt before taking the photos!

Nice job Beau.
Are they under the operator platform? What do you use them for?
