HOSES AND FITTINGS

NOTE

Most fluid piping system sizes are measured by dash numbers. These are universally used

abbreviations for the size of the component expressed as the numerator of the fraction with

the denominator always being 16. For example, a 04 port is 4/16 or 1/4 inch. Dash numbers

are usually nominal (in name only) and are abbreviations that make ordering of components

easier.

1. Measure the I.D./O.D. diameter with a caliper as shown.

Figure 10.

Hoses and Fittings Measurement.

2. Under the heading MALE THREAD O.D. and FEMALE THREAD I.D., match the measurements with the row in

table to determine proper torque.
