16000 SERVICE/MAINTENANCE MANUAL HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
SAE Straight Thread Connection
This type of connection leaks most often because the jam
nut and washer are not backed up before assembly.
When the jam nut and washer are not backed up, there is not
enough room for the O-ring when the squeeze takes place
and the washer cannot seat properly as shown in
Figure 2-11
, View A. The compressed rubber between the
washer and the spot face will cold flow out of compression,
causing the fitting to loosen and leak as shown in
Figure 2-11
, View B.
Tighten SAE straight thread connections, as follows:
1. Back up jam nut and washer to end of smooth portion on
fitting as shown in Figure 2-12
, View A.
2. Lubricate O-ring with clean oil; this is very important.
3. Thread fitting into port until washer bottoms against spot
face as shown in Figure 2-12
, View B.
NOTE: If an elbow is being used, back it out as necessary
to align it with hose.
4. Tighten jam nut. When fitting is properly installed, O-ring
will completely fill seal cavity and washer will be tight
against spot face as shown in Figure 2-12
, View B.

ORS Connection
NOTE: ORS is the registered trade mark for a face-type
seal manufactured by Aeroquip Corporation.
1. Lubricate and install O-ring in adapter groove
(Figure 2-13
).
2. Lubricate threads.
3. Tighten nut to torque value given in Table 2-4
.
