1/2" Body Flat‑Face 90 Degree Elbow Adapter Set, Hydraulic Quick Connect Coupler, ISO 16028, Heavy-Duty Coupling Set with Dust Caps for Skid Steer Bobcat Attachment | Model TL173

🗸 TL173 90° 1/2" BODY FLAT FACE HYDRAULIC ADAPTER SET – A high-flow, industrial-grade hydraulic adapter set designed to reconfigure your connection geometry. These 90-degree elbows are the professional solution for managing hose routing in confined bulkheads where straight couplers are prone to kinking or excessive strain.

🗸 MANIFOLD & BULKHEAD OPTIMIZATION: Perfect for Bobcat and other skid steers with restricted manifold space. By converting your standard 1/2" body ISO 16028 interface to a 90-degree exit, you create a natural hose arc that extends the lifespan of your hydraulic lines and prevents premature failure caused by sharp bends.

🗸 HEAVY-DUTY INDUSTRIAL RATING: Rated for over 5076 PSI, these adapters are built to survive the same extreme pressure pulses and rugged field conditions as your machine’s factory-installed hydraulic circuits.

🗸 ISO 16028 FLUSH FACE TECHNOLOGY: Maintains the system’s integrity by minimizing fluid spillage and air inclusion during the connection process. The flush surface is remarkably easy to wipe clean, keeping abrasive grit out of your system.

🗸 FIELD-READY ERGONOMICS: Featuring a push-connect locking sleeve and heavy knurled texturing, these adapters provide a secure, non-slip grip, allowing for quick and easy installation and operation—even when you are working in the field with thick safety gloves.

Q: What exactly does the TL173 adapter set do?

A: It converts a standard 1/2" body ISO 16028 flat-face coupler connection into a 90° elbow configuration. This is critical for clearing obstructions in tight hydraulic manifolds or preventing your hoses from rubbing against the machine frame or other attachments.

Q: Is this compatible with my machine?

A: Yes. The TL173 is designed for universal compatibility with most skid steers and compact loaders utilizing ISO 16028 flat-face standards, including major brands like Bobcat, CAT, Kubota, John Deere, CASE, and many others.

Q: How does the 90° elbow improve system performance?

A: By eliminating sharp hose bends at the bulkhead, you reduce flow restriction and prevent internal hose fatigue. This ensures that hydraulic fluid moves more efficiently and that your hoses maintain their structural integrity for much longer.

Q: Does the set include everything needed for installation?

A: Yes, the set includes two 90° elbow adapters and the necessary protective dust caps to keep your hydraulic interfaces shielded from mud, moisture, and road grit when they are not in use.
