ORFS Male Hydraulic Hose Fitting: 14211 Series

Why This ORFS Male Hydraulic Hose Fitting Passes the Compliance Gate

HENGHUA manufactures the 14211 series as a genuine ORFS male hydraulic hose fitting, built to the O-Ring Face Seal system defined by SAE J1453 and ISO 8434-3. Our SAE J1453 fittings and ISO 8434-3 fittings are produced to the same drawing as the imported parts they replace, so thread, face and O-ring groove all match. As a supplier of O-ring face seal hydraulic fittings and flat face O-ring hydraulic fittings, we gauge every batch against the standard. OEM production lines, distributors and repair shops use this series when a leak-tight, reusable connection is required on high-pressure hydraulic circuits.

Every fitting is a true 14211 male straight crimp design, sold to the printed thread and dash matrix below. It crimps to braided hose in this number, and the series changes to 14212-XX-XX for spiral hose, exactly as the drawing footnote states. Buyers get one part number that maps cleanly to both an SAE and an ISO reference.

Core Advantages

• Flat face O-ring sealing: no sealant, no re-torque drift, and repeatable reassembly with a fresh O-ring.
• Full size range from -04 to -24 hose bore, covering 9/16″X18 through 2″X12 ORFS male thread.
• Crimp body produced from cold-headed carbon steel with controlled heat treatment and protective plating.
• 100% factory pressure testing, thread gauging and lot traceability on every shipment.

Technical Specifications

What Is an ORFS Male Hydraulic Hose Fitting?

ORFS stands for O-Ring Face Seal, a US-origin connection standardized by SAE J1453 and internationally by ISO 8434-3. This male straight fitting belongs to the family of O-ring face seal hydraulic fittings, together with the female, elbow and interlock versions. The male half carries an external thread plus a flat face with an O-ring, and it mates to a female ORFS port or swivel nut that presses the O-ring into its groove. Because the seal is on the end face, the thread only provides clamping force and never acts as the sealing element.

This is different from ORB, JIC 37 degree and SAE 45 degree ends, and the four families are not interchangeable. ORB seals on a boss face with a straight thread and a port-side O-ring, while JIC 37 degree and SAE 45 degree rely on metal-to-metal cone seats. To identify ORFS, look for a flat face with an O-ring groove and a thread that is roughly 1/16 inch larger than the equivalent JIC size.

Dimensional Data

The A, C and S1 columns are stated in millimetres on the source drawing. Values are given as dimensioned on the drawing and are not rounded or converted.

Full Dimension Table (Part Number Matrix)

Part numbers follow the pattern 14211-thread dash-hose dash. The first two digits after the series are the thread dash, the last two are the hose bore dash, and the O-ring code rises with thread size. Verify thread size and hose dash against the columns before ordering.

Note 1: The part numbers in this table are for use with braided hoses. Note 2: If used with spiral hoses, the hose fitting series number is 14212-XX-XX. These footnotes are reproduced from the source drawing.

Material and Heat Treatment

Working Pressure and Operating Envelope

Working pressure is jointly determined by the SAE J1453 fittings and ISO 8434-3 fittings standards and by the hose grade, so no single rating applies to this ORFS male hydraulic hose fitting alone. Like other flat face O-ring hydraulic fittings, it relies on the hose assembly and the seal compound for its final rating. Each unit is 100% factory pressure tested, and the crimping and torque data sheet is supplied with the order. The typical service temperature range is -40°C to +120°C, and any system derating is governed by the hose and the seal compound in use.

Selection and Ordering

How to Read the Part Number Matrix

Read the part number from left to right: 14211 is the male ORFS crimp series, the next pair is the ORFS thread dash, and the final pair is the hose bore dash. For 14211-08-06, the 08 is a 13/16″X16 thread and 06 is a -06 hose bore. Always confirm the thread size and the hose dash in their own columns rather than assuming the seal, because this matrix is also the entry point to the wider range of O-ring face seal hydraulic fittings and flat face O-ring hydraulic fittings, including the interchangeable SAE J1453 fittings and ISO 8434-3 fittings we produce.

Thread Size and Dash Chart

Cross Reference Service

Send us an OEM number, an old drawing or a photo of the current fitting and our engineers will translate it into the correct 14211 part number. Whether you need a single ORFS male hydraulic hose fitting or a full program, we confirm thread size, hose dash and O-ring code before quoting so the replacement drops into the existing assembly. This ORFS male hydraulic hose fitting cross reference service covers equipment builders, importers and maintenance teams working from legacy part lists.

Packaging and Logistics

• Standard packing: 10 pcs per ORFS male hydraulic hose fitting box, with a batch box label carrying the part number and lot number.
• Country of origin: Made in China, HENGHUA.
• Documentation: MTR supplied with the goods; BV or SGS inspection can be arranged on request.
• Bulk and mixed cartons are available for distributors; custom labels and private branding are supported.

Assembly and Use Guide

Four-Step Crimping Procedure

1. Cut the hose squarely with a hydraulic hose cutter so the end is perpendicular.
2. Mark the insertion depth on the hose cover using the data sheet dimension.
3. Lubricate the hose stem and push it fully into the fitting until the mark is flush.
4. Crimp to the specified die setting and verify the crimp outside diameter with a vernier caliper.

Connecting the ORFS End

Wipe the flat sealing face and the O-ring groove clean, then check the O-ring for cuts, swelling or hardening and replace it if suspect. Seat the O-ring in its groove, hand-tighten the nut until the faces meet, then torque to the value on the supplied data sheet. Never wrap the thread with PTFE tape or apply liquid sealant, because the seal is made by the O-ring on the face and not by the thread.

Installation Warnings

• Do not mix ORFS with JIC 37 degree, ORB or SAE 45 degree ends; they are not interchangeable.
• Do not reuse a deformed O-ring or install an assembly with a missing O-ring.
• Do not scratch, burr or dent the flat sealing face.
• Do not crimp without the matching data sheet and die setting.
• Do avoid cross-threading: start the nut by hand, then finish with a wrench.
• Do keep the sealing face and O-ring clean and free of debris before assembly.

FAQ

What is an ORFS male hydraulic hose fitting? It is a male end with an external thread and a flat face that holds an O-ring, standardized by SAE J1453 and ISO 8434-3. Sealing happens when the flat face presses the O-ring into its groove against the mating port.

How do I distinguish ORFS from JIC or ORB? Look at the sealing face: ORFS and ORB are flat with an O-ring, while JIC 37 degree uses a cone seat. ORB seals on a straight-thread boss, and ORFS threads run about 1/16 inch larger than the equivalent JIC size.

Do I need sealant or PTFE tape on an ORFS thread? No. The O-ring on the sealing face provides the seal, so tape or sealant only risks contaminating the circuit and interfering with the metal-to-metal face contact.

Can I replace a single O-ring instead of the whole fitting? Yes, the O-ring is a serviceable part; replace it whenever it is cut, hardened or swollen. Always match the O-ring code to the part number before refitting.

What is the difference between the braided and spiral versions? The 14211 number in this table is for braided hose, and the drawing note states that spiral hose requires series 14212-XX-XX. Choose the series that matches your hose construction so the crimp is correct.

How do I identify the thread size? Measure the outside thread diameter and count the threads per inch, then confirm against the E column. If in doubt, send a photo or sample and we will confirm the part number for you.

Can you customize this fitting for our brand? Yes, we offer laser marking, private labels, custom threads and finish options, with a 24-hour quotation on receipt of your drawing or sample.
