60
° Cone Adapters: JIS vs. K4
K4 Adapters, while very similar to JIS P4 cones (shown in
previous section), are not interchangeable.
Parker’s P4 JIS 60° cone adapters are manufactured in ac-
cordance to JIS B8363 while Parker’s K4 BSP adapters are
manufactured in accordance to BS5200.The following are some
pronounced differences that may help in distinguishing between
the K4 and P4 fittings:
1.
Thread length (“A” dimensions)
2. 60
° angle diameter (“B” dimensions)
3.
The undercut area (area between threads and hex body)
on the straight K4 fittings incorporates a bonded seal
“
locating pilot” for bonded seal
4.
Parker’s JIS fittings are stamped with “JIS” on the forging
body or hex of fitting
See Figs. I3 and I4 for details and see Tables I2 and I3 below
for specific dimensional differences.
While the 60° cone versions of JIS and K4 fittings utilize the
same BSPP threads and seat angle, not all dimensions are
consistent. Therefore, they cannot be interchanged because
the differences can cause leakage problems. An example of
this is illustrated in Fig. I5, where a gap exists between sealing
surfaces. The combination of matching proper components will
create an effective seal as illustrated in Fig I6.
