What are the standard auxiliary flat faced hydraulic fittings on a 1.8 tonne excavator
How are you sizing them? 1/2” thread can be on either a dn06 or dn08 sized coupling.Probably 1/2" but have seen 3/4" on micros so.....
Id take a gamble on them being 1/2"
well it's 1/2" BSP = nominal bore ..... it's the DN06/08 that gets my goat ... need a pretty comprehensive chart to make sense of the DN numbersHow are you sizing them? 1/2” thread can be on either a dn06 or dn08 sized coupling.
I can’t get my head around using 1/2” as a definition when it bears no resemblance to the actual fitting size?

Holmbury used to have a very comprehensive chart on their website ... I might have a copy somewhereIs there some sort of chart for the dn specs? It would be handy to offer something up to a fitting to know what it actually is for mongos like me!
Perfecto!not the one I was thinking of, but the website has changed a lot
That’s how I understand it, never got my head around DN.
Jcb has always been 1/2in flow and 3/4 return.Lil' Jake (8015) has both![]()
That's what it has at the moment dn06 on feed and dn08 on return bobcat has dn08 fittings I expect they are dn06 I will get a Vernier out and measure themJcb has always been 1/2in flow and 3/4 return.
They will run just fine on 1/2in return. Was always easier swapping machine fitting than attachments.
Bigger one in return to tank for hammerLil' Jake (8015) has both![]()
correctBigger one in return to tank for hammer
None of that makes any sense.
Let’s face it, your still just going to buy one of everything knowing at least something will fit , but justify the expense by having spares in stock is a good thingPerfecto!
The DN or ISO standards aren't perfect either, as you know, the DN/ISO number only refers to the flat face coupling size, with no reference to its pipe size.This is what iso or DN standards are for ffs.
I've always went by the body size, what I would class standard 1/2" body and 1/2" thread etc, I ordered a load of flowfit last year, 1/2"-1/2" and 3/4" - 3/4". what came was 1/2" body 3/8 thread. Thought a s**t, my mistake.... not to worry il still use them.How are you sizing them? 1/2” thread can be on either a dn06 or dn08 sized coupling.
