Products & Technical Help

How do I know which hydraulic fitting or thread I have?

Hydraulic threads can look very similar while being completely incompatible, so identifying the thread correctly before ordering is important.

You can use our free Hydraulic Tool Hub to access our Thread Identifier, thread charts and other hydraulic technical tools.

For best results, check the thread outside or inside diameter, thread pitch and sealing style rather than relying on appearance alone.

Can you help me identify a hydraulic part?

Absolutely. If you’re unsure what you need, email us at hello@hydraulickonnect.com.au.

Where possible, include:

  • Clear photos of the component
  • Thread outside or inside diameter
  • Thread pitch
  • Relevant dimensions
  • Any numbers or markings on the component
  • Machine, valve or equipment information
  • Voltage where relevant for electrical products

The more information you provide, the better chance we have of helping identify the correct part before you order.

What if two fittings look the same?

Never assume two fittings are compatible simply because they look the same.

Hydraulic fittings can have similar outside diameters while using different thread forms, pitches, sealing angles or sealing methods. Examples include BSP, JIC, NPT, ORFS, Metric and UNO threads.

Check the dimensions and thread specification before installation. Our free Hydraulic Tool Hub can help with identification.

How do I know if a product is suitable for my application?

Check the specifications shown on the product listing against the requirements of your system.

Depending on the product, this may include:

  • Thread type and size
  • Pressure rating
  • Flow requirements
  • Port configuration
  • Dimensions
  • Material
  • Voltage and electrical characteristics
  • Operating temperature
  • Seal compatibility

If you’re unsure, contact us before ordering and we’ll do our best to assist with product identification and selection.

Can I use the Hydraulic Tool Hub for free?

Yes. The Hydraulic Tool Hub is free to use.

It includes hydraulic calculators, thread identification tools, thread charts, O-ring identification tools and other useful technical references designed for people working with hydraulic equipment.

Are the Tool Hub calculators and charts a substitute for engineering advice?

No. Hydraulic Konnect's calculators, charts, identifiers and technical resources are provided as practical reference tools.

Critical dimensions, pressure ratings, calculations and product suitability should always be independently verified for the particular application. Professional engineering assessment should be obtained where required.

Returns, Faults & Warranty

What if I order the wrong size or thread?

Returns for incorrectly ordered products, including incorrect size, thread type, voltage or configuration, are considered case-by-case.

Where a return is approved, the product must generally be unused, uninstalled and in resalable condition. The customer is responsible for return shipping costs for incorrectly ordered or change-of-mind products.

Please contact us before returning anything.

What happens if my product is faulty?

If you believe a product is faulty, contact hello@hydraulickonnect.com.au with your order number and details of the issue.

Photos, video and information about the installation or application may be requested to help assess the issue.

Faulty product claims are assessed case-by-case and your rights under the Australian Consumer Law apply.

What warranty do your products have?

Hydraulic Konnect does not apply a blanket fixed-term store warranty to every product unless a particular product listing specifically states otherwise.

Products are supplied with the consumer guarantees and rights that apply under the Australian Consumer Law.

These rights may vary depending on the product, its expected durability and the circumstances of the purchase.

Are installed or used parts returnable?

Products that have been installed, used, modified, damaged or contaminated generally cannot be accepted for a change-of-mind or incorrectly ordered return.

This does not affect any rights you may have under Australian Consumer Law if the product itself is faulty or fails to meet an applicable consumer guarantee.

Pricing & Payments

Are your prices GST inclusive?

Yes. Prices displayed to Australian customers include GST where applicable.

What payment methods do you accept?

Hydraulic Konnect accepts a range of secure payment methods through Shopify, including major credit and debit cards.

Available checkout methods may include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal.

Available payment methods may vary depending on the device and checkout being used.

Trade & Bulk Orders

Do you sell to hydraulic technicians, workshops and trade customers?

Yes. Hydraulic Konnect is built for people who work with hydraulics, including hydraulic technicians, hose technicians, mechanics, maintenance teams, workshops and other trade customers.

Can I order larger quantities or place a bulk order?

Yes. If you require larger quantities or want to discuss a bulk order, email hello@hydraulickonnect.com.au with the products and quantities you require.

We can advise on availability and suitable options for larger orders.

Can you source a product that isn't listed on the website?

Potentially. If you’re chasing a hydraulic component that you can’t find on our website, send us the part details, photos, dimensions or part number.

We’ll let you know if it’s something we may be able to source.
