Can this fitting handle regular hydraulic pressures without failin'?

It's designed for use in hydraulic, pneumatic, and general fluid transfer lines, so it should hold up just fine under normal hydraulic conditions.

got a #4 hose on one end and a 1/2 pipe port on the other. is this the right fitting to tie those together?

Answer by: Customer Support on Nov 30, 2025, 4:13 PM

For a hose to pipe-thread transition, it’s made to join a #4 hose barb end to a #8 male pipe thread end, so it matches that setup.

fitting's made of brass, does that hold up alright when it's running hydraulic fluid through it regular?

Answer by: Customer Support on Jan 11, 2026, 12:55 PM

Brass handles hydraulic fluid well in most standard service conditions. It resists corrosion across a wide range of fluid media, so regular use in a hydraulic line shouldn't cause it to break down prematurely. It's a common material choice for fittings in both hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and Dixon Valve builds to solid industrial standards, so you're not looking at a flimsy part here.
