Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has
been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 8434-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 131, Fluid power systems, Subcommittee SC 4,
Connectors and similar products and components.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 8434-2:1994), which has been technically
revised.

ISO 8434 consists of the following parts, under the general title Metallic tube connections for fluid power and
general use:

⎯ Part 1: 24° cone connectors

⎯ Part 2: 37° flared connectors

Introduction
In fluid power systems, power is transmitted and controlled through a fluid (liquid or gas) under pressure within
an enclosed circuit. In general applications, a fluid may be conveyed under pressure.

Components may be connected through their ports by connections (connectors), tubes and hoses. Tubes are
rigid conductors; hoses are flexible conductors.

This part of ISO 8434 is based on the US standard ANSI/SAE J514 [1]. The threads for the 37° flared
connection are unified inch threads in accordance with ISO 263. The inch threads were not changed to metric
threads according to ISO 261 to allow connectors complying with this International Standard to be used in
existing applications without requiring a change to tube or hose assemblies. Also, the thread-to-nut overtorque
and seal performance have been extensively tested; to change to metric threads would require an extensive
test program at considerable cost without providing any functional improvement. The threads are integral to
themselves, connectors of this type match only to themselves and, other than having metric threads, no value
in changing could be found. Major international companies that have used these connectors have adopted the
design without noting any problems. All wrench flats specified in this part of ISO 8434 are dimensioned to be
used with ISO standard metric wrenches.

 INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 8434-2:2007(E)

Metallic tube connections for fluid power and general use —

Part 2:
37° flared connectors

1 Scope
This part of ISO 8434 specifies general and dimensional requirements for the design and performance of
37° flared connectors that are suitable for use with ferrous and non-ferrous tubes with outside diameters from
6 mm to 50,8 mm, inclusive. These connectors are for use in fluid power and general applications within the
limits of pressure and temperature specified in this part of ISO 8434.

They are intended for the connection of tubes and hose fittings to ports in accordance with ISO 6149-1,
ISO 1179-1, ISO 9974-1 and ISO 11926-1. (See ISO 12151-5 for related hose fitting specification.)

These connectors provide full-flow connections with metal-to-metal sealing in hydraulic systems operating to
the working pressures shown in Table 1. Because many factors influence the pressure at which a system
performs satisfactorily, these values shall not be understood as guaranteed minimums. For every application,
sufficient testing will need to be conducted and the results reviewed by both the user and manufacturer to
ensure that required performance levels are met.

NOTE 1 For new designs in hydraulic fluid power applications, see the requirements given in 9.6. Where the
requirements of the application allow for the use of elastomeric seals, connector designs that conform to International
Standards and incorporate elastomeric sealing are preferred.

NOTE 2 For use under conditions outside the pressure and/or temperature limits specified, see 5.5.
Normen-Download-Beuth-Taurus Flexibles Pvt Ltd.-KdNr.7599079-LfNr.5419220001-2011-08-01 08:55

Both metric and inch tubing can be accommodated by changing the sleeve (see Figure 7). In the past, these
connectors have been used predominantly with inch tubing. For new and future designs, the use of metric
tubing is preferred.

This part of ISO 8434 also specifies a performance and qualification test for 37° flared connectors.

Annex A
(normative)

Length reduction factors for reducing connectors

Annex A contains the factors to be used to calculate the lengths of reducing connectors, also known as “jump”
connectors. Figures A.1 to A.9 illustrate the different types of reducing connectors.

NOTE The reduction factors and associated dimensions given in Tables A.1 to A.3 and A.4 represent factors
specified within ANSI/SAE J514 [1]. These factors represent current industry practice.

For any non-standard size connector, be it straight, 45° or 90° elbow, tee or cross connector, one end is
always standard. Considering this to be the largest end on the connector, it may then be used as a basis for
establishing the stock size and length (either overall or end-to-centre) for all other ends, by deducting the
factors given in the below tables equivalent to the reduction in machining requirements from the appropriate
standard lengths given for a non-reducing (non-jump) connector.

At the manufacturer’s option, drill-through passages in straight special size (reducing) connectors may
conform to the smaller diameter specified for up to two-step tube OD size difference, or conform to one or the
other of the following for any size difference:

⎯ the appropriate end may be countersunk to the larger diameter;

⎯ the appropriate end may be drilled to the larger diameter up to the middle of the hex.

The factors that apply to various end configurations and size reductions given in this annex were determined
on the following basis.

a) Dimensions of lengths were derived by maintaining the standard hexagon thickness for straight union
connectors, and the standard centreline to machining start for shaped connectors. For straight stud
connectors, the total width of the hex and the identification collar (ring) — if applicable — for the larger
size is held constant.
Normen-Download-Beuth-Taurus Flexibles Pvt Ltd.-KdNr.7599079-LfNr.5419220001-2011-08-01 08:55

b) Factors given in Tables A.1, A.3 and A.6 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 one
decimal place.

c) The factors given in Tables A.2, A.5 and A.7 were derived by subtracting the standard machining length
(minimum full thread length) plus an allowance of one-and-one-half thread pitches for imperfect thread
length required for the smaller end from the same value required for the larger end and rounding the
result down to the nearest 0,5 mm.

The following tolerances apply to reducing connectors:

⎯ overall length of straight connectors: ± 0,8 mm;

⎯ from centreline to end on shaped connectors: ± 1,5 mm.

Connectors involving hex sizes greater than or equal to S12 shall include a turned shoulder of diameter d21 and length
L46 as shown in Figure A.6 and given in Table A.4. This turned shoulder permits the reduced straight thread end to seat
in a standard port spotface. For some combinations, additional length will be required to accommodate this feature.
Therefore, all factors designated as plus in this table should be added to the standard length dimensions to obtain the
necessary values.
a No factor is required when the ends of the connector are the same size. For stud ends larger than the standard for the 37° flared
end, see Table A.1.
