Specification for O-Ring Face Seal Connectors: Part 2—Requirements, Dimensions,

and Tests for Steel Unions, Bulkheads, Swivels, Braze Sleeves, Caps, and
Connectors with ISO 6149-2 Metric Stud Ends
RATIONALE
Not applicable.
FOREWORD
The JUN2002 edition of SAE J1453 was published as a single document covering the requirements for inch O-ring face
seal connectors with SAE J1926-2 inch stud ends. In 1995 ISO 8434-3 was published covering the requirements for
O-ring face seal connectors with ISO 6149-2 metric stud ends. This revision of SAE J1453 adopts the parts covered
within ISO 8434-3 and the rationalized dimensions from ISO 8434-3 for both the inch and metric stud end face seal
connectors. SAE J1453 has been organized into three sections as follows:
1. SAE J1453-1—Specifications for O-ring Face Seal Connectors—Part 1: Tube Connection Details and Common
Requirements for Performance and Tests
2. SAE J1453-2—Specifications for O-ring Face Seal Connectors—Part 2: Requirements, Dimensions and Tests for
Steel Unions, Bulkheads, Swivels, Braze Sleeves, Caps, and Connectors with ISO 6149-2, Metric Stud Ends
3. SAE J1453-3—Specifications for O-ring Face Seal Connectors—Part 3: Requirements, Dimensions and Tests for
Steel Unions, Bulkheads, Swivels, Braze Sleeves, Caps, and Connectors with SAE J1926 Inch Stud Ends
SAE J1453-2 parts are technically equivalent to ISO 8434-3 parts; SAE J1453-3 parts are technically equivalent to
SAE J1453 JUN2002 parts. Parts supplied to SAE J1453 JUN2002 shall now be supplied to SAE J1453-3.
A typical O-ring face seal connector connection is shown in Figure 1 and typical tube and hose connections are shown in
Figure 2.

1. SCOPE
1.1 Purpose
The three parts of SAE J1453 cover material, dimensional, and performance requirements of steel O-ring face seal
(ORFS) connectors for tubing and the O-ring face seal interface and nut portion of hose stem assemblies for nominal tube
diameters of 6 mm through 38 mm and for nominal hose diameters 6.3 mm through 38 mm. SAE J1453-2 covers the
requirements for “metric based” O-ring face seal connectors to metric stud ends along with the associated adapters,
bulkhead and union connectors. Metric hex wrenching flats are used throughout this standard.
1.2 Field of Application
These connectors are intended for general application and hydraulic systems on industrial equipment and commercial
products, where elastomeric seals are acceptable to overcome leakage and variations in assembly procedures. These
connectors are capable of providing leak proof full flow connections in hydraulic systems operating from 95 kPa vacuum
to the working pressures shown in Table 3. Since many factors influence the pressure at which a hydraulic system will or
will not perform satisfactorily, these values should not be construed as guaranteed minimums. For any application, it is
recommended that sufficient testing be conducted and reviewed by both the user and manufacturer to ensure that
required performance levels are met.
For use of these connectors in conditions outside the pressure and temperature limits specified, the manufacturers must
be consulted.
Both metric and inch tubing can be accommodated by changing only the sleeve to match the tube diameters. In the past,
these connectors have been used predominantly with inch tubing. For new designs metric tubing should be considered.

APPENDIX B - INSTRUCTIONS AND EXAMPLES FOR CALCULATING THE DIMENSIONS

FOR SPECIAL SIZE (JUMP) CONNECTORS
B.1 SCOPE
B.1.1 Purpose
Appendix B explains how to calculate the special size (jump) connector dimensions using the factors in Appendix C.
B.2 DEFINITIONS
For this part of SAE J1453, the definitions given in ISO 5598 and SAE J1453-1 shall apply.
B.2.1 Special (Jump) Size
A special size (jump) connector is one where the end sizes are not equal, that is they either do not have the same tube
size and/or commonly paired (equal) end sizes.
Table A8 list the paired (standard) Port Stud Ends to Face Seal connections for inch and metric stud ends for a given tube
or hose ID.
B.2.2 Nonpreferred
Parts which are low volume, considered specials or nonstandard and the use of which requires special consideration.
Dimensions for nonpreferred connectors are given to provide standardization within the industry. A majority of special
size (jump) connectors are nonpreferred and carry a higher cost due to low volumes.

B.3 INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CALCULATE DIMENSIONS FOR SPECIAL SIZE (JUMP) CONNECTORS
B.3.1 Appendix C contains tables with various factors or length dimensions to be used in determining the connector
dimensions for special size combination connectors not contained in SAE J1453-2.
B.3.2 No factors are given for certain multiple jump connectors. When specifying these jump connectors consult the
manufacturer for availability.
SAE J1453-2 Issued FEB2007 - 61 -
B.3.3 For any special size (jump) connector (a connector where the tube ends are not the same, for example:
(10x10x8), be it a connector, 45 degree or 90 degree elbow, tee or cross, one end is always standard
conforming to SAE J1453 dimensions. Considering this to be the largest on the connector, it may then be used
as a basis for establishing the stock size and length (either overall or end to center) for all other parts by
subtracting the factors equivalent to the reduction in machining requirements from the appropriate standard
lengths. (See Figures B1 and B2.)
The factors applicable to various end configurations and size reductions tabulated in this appendix were determined on
the following basis:
a. Length dimensions were derived by maintaining the standard hexagon thickness for straight union connectors, and
the standard centerline to start of machining point for shaped connectors as seen in Figures B1 and B2. For straight
stud connectors the total width of hex and the identification collar (ring) for the larger sizes is held constant.
b. Factors given in Tables C1, C3 and C5 were derived by subtracting the standard machining length required for the
smaller end from that required for the larger standard end and rounding the result to the nearest half millimeter.
c. The factors given in Tables C2 and C4 were derived by subtracting the standard machining length (minimum full
thread length, with thread runout, plus an allowance of 1-1/2 thread pitches for imperfect thread length) required for
the smaller end from the same value required for the larger end and rounding the result to nearest half millimeter (see
Figure B1).
B.3.4 Tolerances
The following tolerances apply to special size (jump) connectors:
1. Overall length of straight connectors = ±0.8 mm
2. Centerline to end on straight connectors = ±1.5 mm.
B.3.5 Drill Passages
At manufacturer’s option, drill through passages in straight special size (jump) connectors may conform to the smaller
diameter specified for up to two step size difference, or conform to one of the following for any size difference:
1. The appropriate end may be countersunk to the larger diameter, or
2. The appropriate end may be drilled to the larger diameter up to the middle of the hex.

B.4 EXAMPLES
B.4.1 Stud Straight
(52M0187) - ORFS End > Stud End - See Table 14 for basic dimensions and Table C3 for reduction factors.
FIGURE B3 - STUD STRAIGHT CONNECTOR WITH REDUCED O-RING STUD END

(52M0187)
EXAMPLE: Size16 ORFS and size M18 stud end
Read length L8 in Table 14 for size 16xM22 = 42 mm and read Hex from Table 14 = 27 mm.
All remaining dimensions conform to the face seal end size shown in SAE J1453-1 or the stud end standard, ISO 6149-2.
To calculate L8 shown in Figure B3, subtract the difference in stud length L4 between sizes M22 and M18 given in ISO
6149-2.
Therefore the adjusted L8 = 41 mm because L4 (from ISO 6149-2) for M22 = 15 mm and L4 for M18 = 14 mm, with the
difference of 1 mm as the reduction factor as seen in Table C3.
The dimensions in Table A3 were calculated in this manner.
For drill passage see Appendix B clause 3.5.
B.4.2 Stud Straight (52M0187)
Standard stud end and reduced face seal end - See Table 14 for basic dimensions and Table C1 for reduction factors.
FIGURE B4 - STUD STRAIGHT CONNECTOR WITH REDUCED FACE SEAL END

(52M0187)
SAE J1453-2 Issued FEB2007 - 64 -
EXAMPLE: M22 stud end and size 12 O-ring face seal end
Read dimensions given for 16xM22 size ORFS in Table 14. M22 is the largest end, and the connector (thread size is
larger) will be manufactured from 27 mm stock size.
From Table 14, L8 for M22 = 42.
Since the tube end is a 12 ORFS, using Table C1, subtract 2.5 mm from 42 mm resulting in L8 = 39.5 mm as shown in
Table A3. L9 = 24.5 mm.
All remaining dimensions for the face seal end are per SAE J1453-1 and dimensions for the stud end are per ISO 6149-2.
B.4.3 90 degree Adjustable Stud Elbow - (52M0287)
Standard O-ring Face Seal End and reduced O-ring Stud End - See Table 12 for basic dimensions.
FIGURE B5 - 90 DEGREE ADJUSTABLE STUD ELBOW WITH REDUCED STUD END

(52M0287)
EXAMPLE: Size 16 mm O-ring face seal end and M18 O-ring stud end
From Table C4 read the reduction factor of 1.5 mm.
Subtract 1.5 mm from 49 mm length (L10 for 16xM22 in Table 12), thus the adjusted drop length L10 = 47.5 mm, and L11 =
33.5 mm.
All remaining dimensions for the face seal end are per SAE J1453-1 and dimensions for the stud end standard are per
ISO 6149-2.
Dimensions in Table 23 were derived in this manner.

FIGURE B6 - 45 DEGREE ADJUSTABLE STUD ELBOW WITH REDUCED FACE SEAL END

EXAMPLE: Size 12 mm O-ring face seal and M22 stud end size
The O-ring stud end is the largest end of the connector and L12 for 16xM22 (Table 12) = 23.5 mm. L12 dimension must be
adjusted since it is a 12 mm end.
Read the reduction factor from Table C2 of 2 mm.
Adjusted L12 = 23.5 - 2 = 21.5 mm as shown in Table A2.
All remaining dimensions for the face seal end are per SAE J1453-1 and dimensions for the stud end are per ISO 6149-2.
The dimensions in Table A2 were calculated in this manner.

Standard face seal end to jump connection ends.
FIGURE B7 - ADJUSTABLE STUD BRANCH TEE WITH REDUCED O-RING STUD END
AND REDUCED BRANCH END (52M0429)
EXAMPLE: A branch tee with 12 mm face seal to 20 mm O-ring face seal run to stud end to 16 mm (M22) metric stud
end.
The largest end is the 20 mm, and the forging size is 27 mm for 20x20xM27 in Table 13.
The 20 mm end is the standard end of the fitting.
Read L7 for 20 mm (Table 13) = 37.5 mm.
The other lengths are calculated using factors to adjust based on the standard lengths for a 20x20xM27 size fitting.
For the stud end length, L10 = 55.5 mm for the standard end with M27 stud end.
For the stud end of M22 read the jump factor from Table C4, for a 20 to M22 of 6.5 mm. L10 adjusted = 55.5 - 6.5 =
49 mm.
For L11 also subtract the 6.5 mm, and the adjusted L11 = 37 - 6.5 = 30.5 mm.
For the 12 mm tube end, the standard L7 length = 37.5 mm.
Treat the reduced face seal size 12 mm tube end as a reduction from M27 stud end or 20 mm tube end.
From Table C2, for a 20 to 12 size reduction read a factor of 3.5 mm.
Thus the adjusted L7 = 37.5 - 3.5 = 34 mm.
What’s behind this calculation is the original forging size for the fitting, size 20. Even though the stud end is one jump
size smaller, the original forging is for a size 20, thus all calculations are made from this reference for machining the parts.
