Midland Industries 7062-06-08 Hydraulic Adapter Orb Bspp

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 7062-06-08 is a steel hydraulic adapter designed to connect a 3/8-inch Male O-Ring Boss (ORB) port to a 1/2-inch Male BSPP (British Standard Parallel Pipe) port. The ORB end uses a 9/16-18 thread and seals against a flat surface via an O-ring, minimizing leak paths under pressure. The BSPP end uses a 1/2-14 thread, common in imported machinery, mobile hydraulics, and fluid power systems with metric or British-standard porting. At 0.17 pounds, the adapter is compact and well-suited for tight plumbing runs where a direct port-to-port connection is needed without additional fittings.

This adapter is used in hydraulic and fluid power systems that mix SAE and British Standard porting - a common situation on industrial equipment, agricultural machinery, and mobile hydraulic units. Technicians installing or servicing these systems rely on adapters in the MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 7062 Series to bridge incompatible port standards without custom machining. The 7062-06-08 fits inline wherever a 3/8-inch ORB male port must mate to a 1/2-inch MBSPP port on a valve, manifold, cylinder, or pump body.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch Male O-Ring Boss (9/16-18 thread) to 1/2-inch Male BSPP (1/2-14 thread) configuration
• O-ring face seal on the ORB end provides positive, leak-resistant sealing under system pressure
• Steel construction for durability in hydraulic service environments
• Compact profile - 1.55 inches long, 1.15 inches wide, 1 inch tall - suited for confined plumbing runs
• Part of the MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 7062 Series Male O-Ring to MBSPP adapter family

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hydraulic adapter for fluid power systems requiring a Male O-Ring Boss to Male BSPP port transition. Specific system compatibility depends on verified port standards at the installation point.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by hydraulic technicians or millwrights servicing fluid power systems. Depressurize and bleed down the hydraulic circuit fully before removing or installing any adapter. Inspect the O-ring on the ORB end for damage before torquing into place, and replace it if there is any sign of deformation or cracking. Follow the equipment manufacturer or applicable fluid power standard guidelines for proper torque values, thread sealant use, and system pressure ratings.
