When it comes to connecting a hydraulic hose, it is essential to get the angle of orientation right. This is because if the angle is not correct, the performance and life of the assembly will be significantly reduced. To ensure that you get the angle right, there are two methods you can use: the near-end reference method and the far-end reference method. The first step is to use a thread pitch gauge.
Place the teeth of the gauge on the threads until you find a perfect fit. Make sure that there is no space between the teeth of the pressure gauge and the accessory. If the accessory isn't new or is worn out, you might have a hard time finding a compatible one, so it's best to always use new accessories. Accessory manufacturers provide thread identification guides in brochures or on their websites, so you just have to match the thread measurement with the relevant tables.
Using the thread gauge, determine the number of threads per inch. Comparing the pressure gauge threads and the coupling with an illuminated background will ensure an accurate reading. Before selecting a hydraulic connection, you must first determine if your threads will match the hose you have selected. This can be done by using a thread pitch gauge and comparing it with an illuminated background. To make sure that your hydraulic hose connection is properly angled, it's important to use a thread pitch gauge.

Once you've determined that your threads match up with your chosen hose, you can then select your hydraulic connection.
