SAE Flat Face O-Ring Seal 
Hydraulic Fittings
a. Assembly Procedure
Improper assembly of this type of joint will result in 
leaking joints. Under tightening will result in the joint 
loosening during normal usage. Foreign material on 
either seal surfaces will cause damage to one or both 
mating parts when the joint is tightened resulting in a 
leaking joint. The absences of the fitting o-ring will cause 
the joint to leak.
1. Inspect both the male (Fig. 2-4, 1) and female (2)
sealing surfaces for burrs, scratches, dents, other 
damage, or foreign material. If any damage is found 
on either surface, the part is to be rejected as 
unusable. Clean off any foreign material from the 
sealing surfaces before assembly. 
2. Inspect the male fitting for the presence of the seal
o-ring (Fig. 2-4, 3). Inspect the o-ring for any sign of 
damage. If the o-ring is missing or damaged replace 
it. 
3. Apply clean petroleum based oil to the male thread.
4. Place the flat surface of the female connector
(Fig. 2-4, 1) in full contact with the o-ring (3) in the 
male connector.
5. Finger tighten the nut (Fig. 2 -4, 4) onto the fitting.
6. Complete the joint by tightening the nut
to the torque
specified in the table. For hoses and swivel fittings 
use a second wrench to keep the female connector 
from moving during tightening.

Improper assembly of this joint will result in leaking joints. 
Under tightening of the fitting will result in the fitting 
loosening during normal operation and the joint leaking. 
Damaging the o-ring during assembly will result in 
immediate joint leakage.
1. Inspect components to ensure that male and female
port threads and sealing surfaces are free of burrs, 
nicks, or scratches, or any foreign material. If any 
damage is found the bad part must not be used. 
Clean any foreign material from the mating parts 
before assembly.
2. Lubricate the o-ring and male thread with a clean
petroleum based lubricant.
3. Screw the fitting into the port.
4. Torque the fitting to the values found in table.
