Secure and Versatile Connection for Hydraulic Lines The Dixon 1204 Series is a straight union adapter designed to extend hydraulic lines or connect components with JIC female swivel ends. Its double male end design with a 37-degree flare ensures a tight metal-to-metal seal, ideal for high vibration and pressure applications. This adapter strictly complies with the SAE 070101 standard, guaranteeing universal interchangeability with JIC hoses and fittings from any manufacturer. Its carbon steel construction with a zinc-plated finish protects the part against corrosion and rust in harsh working environments.
Key Features:
-
Connection Versatility: Available in Straight Union (equal sides) to extend hoses, and in Reducing Union (different sides, e.g., 1/2" to 3/8") to adapt hoses of different gauges.
-
JIC 37° Seal: The American industry standard. The 37° flare provides a reliable mechanical seal without the need for O-rings or chemical sealants on the thread.
-
High Pressure: Supporting up to 5,000 PSI in common sizes, it is suitable for most excavators, tractors, and hydraulic presses on the market.
