Product Description
🗸 BF101 HIGH-PRESSURE BULKHEAD ADAPTER – A critical hydraulic component designed to provide a secure, leak-proof transition between O-Ring Boss (SAE) ports and JIC flare connections. This bulkhead adapter is engineered for professionals who demand absolute integrity in their hydraulic circuits, whether in industrial, agricultural, or construction applications.
🗸 PRECISION SEALING TECHNOLOGY: Features a 5/8" O-Ring Boss (ORB) connection, providing a superior, metal-to-metal seal backed by an O-ring to prevent weeping in high-vibration environments. The #10 JIC bulkhead side allows for a secure, threaded connection through panels or mounting brackets, ensuring your lines remain organized and protected.
🗸 HEAVY-DUTY INDUSTRIAL ARCHITECTURE: Forged from high-strength steel to handle high-pressure surges without deformation. The BF101 is built to maintain its structural dimensions under the intense mechanical stress common in heavy-duty machinery.
🗸 VERSATILE INTEGRATION: The bulkhead design allows you to create a fixed, clean connection point on your machine’s frame. This is an essential solution for upgrading auxiliary lines or moving hydraulic interfaces to a more accessible location for faster implement swapping.

Q: Why use a bulkhead adapter instead of a standard fitting?
A: A bulkhead adapter allows you to pass your hydraulic connection through a mounting plate or the frame of your machine. This secures the line at a fixed point, which prevents the hose from pulling or twisting against the machine's body, significantly reducing the risk of fatigue-related leaks.
Q: Is the #10 JIC thread standard for all implements?
A: JIC (#10) is a very common standard for 5/8" auxiliary lines on tractors and skid steers. It provides a reliable 37-degree flare seal that is widely used because it can be connected and disconnected repeatedly without degrading the sealing surface.
Q: What are the benefits of the ORB (O-ring Boss) side?
A: O-Ring Boss fittings are the preferred choice for port connections because the O-ring is compressed into a machined cavity. This creates a seal that is highly resistant to "weeping" even when the system is subjected to rapid pressure spikes and high-frequency vibrations.
