View attachment 311349View attachment 311351View attachment 311352View attachment 311354 took cyl, it had sears craftsman graphics under neath facing beam no id numbers though, to my in law and disassembled ,looks like the gland seal had a concave depression about 1-1 1/2 "long causing fluid loss[ worn] rod seal didn't leak..all else looks good hydro shop sent me home with 43.00 of parts to rebuild,little stubborn coming apart though.priced hoses and" two "would go north of a c-note.tsc and surplus center offer options,[cheap] question i have is two hoses had damaged threads on fitting or rubber casing damaged from age.getting to learn hose identification like npt and jic,not quite there yet. and local hose shop and hydro shop sensed i wanted to know id of bad hoses so could price compare and they were either mum or talked to fast.long story here,i believe the hose 3/4" with two jic fittings that ran from valve after filter [return to tank]has rubber peeling off,is a jic both ends,the jic catalog at surplus center offers two jic sizes 10 and 12 in 3/4 hose.don't know how to id mine,but a 3/4"npt does engage threads if that helps.next, the builder used a 3/4"by 3/4"90 npt elbow from valve to cylinder hose .but the cyl connection end uses a 1/2"npt,so it's a 1/2" hose id with 1/2"npt on one side 3/4"npt on other harder to find here off the shelf.could i just use a 1/2"hose and connection to replace with a 1/2x3/4"npt elbow, or does it make a difference?the pump is barnes 11 gpm valve is prince with 3/4"npt.10 hp motor,4"x24 cyl.thank you:msp_confused: for wading through.

in youre 3rd pic the fittings on the left (hose/ swivel elbow) look alot like JIS fittings (not JIC) the rest look to be british thread (BSPT) neither are compatable with JIC or NPT, you will need adapters, or replace with same fittings.
all of that said, its difficult to tell what they are without seeing them in person...

On the fittings, 12=3/4 10=5/8 8=1/2. you could use 1/2" hose for your cylinder with 8 jic fittings. if your work ports are 3/4, JIC 8M x 3/4 NPTM 90 ELBOW.
surplus center should have all this, Hope this helps.

steelshot, I just got home from TSC to pick up a couple of new hoses for my old splitter. My newer Speeco is at a neighbours so I've been using the old one. I split maybe 4 full cords with it and on the last piece the valve didn't flip off when the cylinder retracted all the way back, bang there goes a hose. Every time I have to replace a hose I cringe, it's always the same, too much money and sizing frustration. It's a 40 minute round trip to the closest TSC for me, so I buy 1 or 2 extra fittings each time and slowly build up a supply at home. Todays trip was good, I got 2 hoses and both fit, the extra fitting I bought wasn't the right one but one from a previous trip worked. I have a 5 gallon pail of new and used fittings so I can usually get things jury rigged and get it running. I usually fond that most stuff is pipe thread.
confused fitting id ?

Surplus Center - Tech Help. I would guess those are 12 JIC on your return. 1/2" 2 wire will be rated at 3500PSI working 14000PSI Burst. I personally don't care for NPT, much prefer JIC fittings.
The return hose to the tank does not have to be high pressure hose the hose can be used with barded fittings and hose clamps. Return line pressure to the tank should rarely exceed 15 psi.
Necking down does not affect pressure but it does restrict flow which can cause heat build up.

#1 are there any manu markings on the hose at all? I have hose out in the field that is 15 years old and still has some kind of markings on it ( I work for a car hauler). #2 Take some more pictures with something of known size quarter dime nickle etc next to it from that the picture can be scaled and we can figure out size. #3 If you can wait I may be able to help you with fittings hose etc. maybe I just ordered all the stuff to make 3/4,5/8 hose I have everything for 1/2 already so If your patient, I might be able to hook you up for FREE... maybe?? If you plan on be around AS for awhile. Let me see what I can do with the pics you give me take the help for what its worth :cool2:

Eaton Aeroquip has a nice little booklet 'How to Identify Fluid Ports and Connectors', but it is no longer on the web. Document E-SROV-TS009-E was 2003 revision that i have right here.
Covers most of the worlds common connections and dimensions and threads per inch etc.
