Hydraulic hose size
- Thread starter chris83
- Start date
I am having the same problem....I don't need new hoses. I need new connectors and it is so hard matching them up.
FJ stamped in the end fitting says iit female JIC swivel. Looks like 9/16 thread so that would be 3/8 inch hose with female JIC swivel end. Ask for R16 hose, I'd they have it, R2 is a perfectly acceptable alternative if they don't or they want too much. No need to buy anything more expensive.
JIC-06 wivel end fittings are $5 each and hose no more than $5 per foot.
You can buy pre-made R16 hose assemblies with JIC swivel ends from Surplus Center. Even with shipping probably cheaper than having them made.

If you can read the imprinted numbers on the sides of the fitting then search for that on the internet and you will find a lot of information about the size and threads. You may have to add “hydraulic fitting “ to the search input
Discount Hydraulic Hose has a good identification guide on their site. The threads on common JIC fittings are the same as UNF bolt threads, so I bought a 9/16 and 3/4 fine thread bolt and nut to use as gages for -06 and -08 fittings
