Description
When you're wrestling with hydraulic lines that need to make tight turns around engine blocks, frames, or implement mounts, a standard straight fitting just won't cut it. This 45-degree elbow fitting solves those routing problems and keeps your hydraulic system running smoothly without crimped lines or stress points that lead to premature failures.
What You're Getting
- 45-degree angle provides smooth hydraulic flow while navigating tight spaces
- Precision-machined threads ensure leak-free connections that stay tight
- Heavy-duty construction handles high hydraulic pressures without cracking
- Standard thread pitch fits most tractor hydraulic applications
- Compact design saves space in crowded engine compartments
Built for Real Farm Work
This fitting is essential for tractors and agricultural equipment where hydraulic lines need to change direction around obstacles. Whether you're plumbing a loader circuit, routing power steering lines, or connecting three-point hitch cylinders, the 45-degree angle gives you the flexibility to make clean installations without forcing lines into unnatural bends.
Made to Last
Farm hydraulics operate at high pressures and see constant vibration, so this fitting is built from quality materials that resist cracking and thread wear. The smooth internal bore maintains proper flow characteristics, while the external threads are cut to precise tolerances for reliable sealing with hydraulic adapters and hoses.
Installation Notes
Use thread sealant or Teflon tape on the male threads for a leak-free connection. Don't over-tighten - snug plus a quarter turn is usually enough. If you're replacing an old fitting, clean the female threads thoroughly before installation. Keep spare fittings on hand because hydraulic leaks always seem to happen when you're in the middle of important work.
