TL48 1/2" Body 90 deg. Elbow 3/8” JIC Thread Flat Face Quick Connect Coupler

TL48 1/2" Body Flat Face Hydraulic Quick Connect Coupler Set (3/8" JIC 90° Elbow)

The TL48 is a heavy-duty, flat-face hydraulic coupler set featuring a space-saving 90-degree 3/8" JIC (#06 JIC) elbow connection. Engineered to exceed ISO 16028 standards, this set is ideal for tight-clearance areas on skid steers and attachments where straight fittings might cause excessive hose bending, kinking, or interference with the machine frame.

🗸 90-Degree Elbow Configuration: The integrated 3/8" JIC male elbow allows for precise hose routing in confined spaces, significantly reducing hose fatigue and improving the longevity of your hydraulic lines.

🗸 Heavy-Duty Industrial Rating: Built for durability in rugged conditions, this set is rated for over 5076 PSI.

🗸 Universal Flat Face Compatibility: Designed to couple with any standard 1/2" body ISO 16028 Flat Face hydraulic system, providing a perfect fit for major skid steer brands including Bobcat, John Deere, CAT, Kubota, New Holland, and more.

🗸 Spillage & Contamination Prevention: The Flat Face architecture minimizes hydraulic fluid loss during disconnection and provides a flush surface that is easy to wipe clean, preventing debris from entering the hydraulic system.

🗸 Corrosion Resistance: Finished with trivalent zinc plating to provide a robust barrier against rust, moisture, and harsh field environments.

🗸 Integrated Protection: Includes two protective dust caps to shield the interface from debris when the coupler is not connected.

Specifications

Q: Why choose the TL48 (3/8" JIC) over the TL31 (3/4" JIC)?

A: The difference lies in the hose size connection. The TL48 uses a 3/8" JIC thread (Dash -06), which is suited for smaller diameter, high-pressure lines, whereas the TL31 uses a 3/4" JIC thread (Dash -12) for higher volume flow requirements. Match the JIC thread to your existing hose fitting to ensure compatibility.

Q: Can I use this for high-pressure applications?

A: Yes, the TL48 is a heavy-duty unit rated for over 5076 PSI, making it well-suited for high-pressure hydraulic circuits on skid steers and heavy machinery.

Q: Are these interchangeable with Poppet (AG-style) couplers?

A: No. Flat Face (ISO 16028) and Ag-style (ISO 5675) couplers are not interchangeable. You must verify that your equipment uses the Flat Face interface to ensure a proper fit.

Q: How do I ensure the 90-degree elbow is oriented correctly?

A: When threading the JIC elbow into your port or manifold, you can typically adjust the orientation by using a locknut (if provided) or by carefully tightening to the correct torque specification to ensure the elbow faces the direction your hose needs to run without putting the hose under tension.
