Product Description
Connects hydraulic lines of differing thread forms or sizes.
When to replace
Thread form, size and sealing method must all match. Mismatched adapters that appear to fit are a common source of slow leaks and, occasionally, sudden failure under pressure.
Ordering
Undercarriage parts are not universally interchangeable between machine classes. When ordering, send the machine class and, where possible, a photograph of the existing part and any casting marks on it. That is considerably more reliable than a part number alone, since numbering schemes differ between suppliers and change over time.
Why amphibious undercarriages wear faster
A dry-land undercarriage sheds abrasive material. A submerged one does not — silt stays in the running gear and works as a grinding paste. Operators moving from conventional machines are routinely surprised by the parts consumption. Planning for it, and holding the fast-moving items on site, costs less than the downtime does.
