Is a DKR-F hydraulic end, type ZBW140, carbon steel compatible with hoses using flat gasket sealing and what flat gasket thickness is required?

Yes. The DKR-F hydraulic end, type ZBW140, carbon steel Format is compatible with hoses that use flat gasket (flat sealing). It is a Standard hydraulic end (type Z) with internal BSP thread and nut designed for flat sealing and explicitly requires an additional flat gasket (DKR-F) to achieve the seal. Use of a proper crimping sleeve for the hose type is required for assembly. Required flat gasket thickness: typically 1.5 mm . this is the standard thickness for flat gaskets used with Z-type DKR-F fittings and BSP flat-sealing connections. Verify gasket material and dimensions against hose and port specifications; if manufacturer data for ZBW140 specifies a different thickness, follow that specification.

Does the DKR-F hydraulic end, type ZBW140, carbon steel require a specific torque when tightening the nut for flat gasket sealing?

The DKR-F hydraulic end, type ZBW140, carbon steel does not specify a unique tightening torque in the provided description. It requires a flat gasket for sealing and is fitted with an internal BSP thread and nut, so correct sealing depends on proper gasket placement and standard assembly practices for BSP threaded fittings. Use the nut tightening torque recommended for the hose assembly procedure, crimping sleeve specification, or general BSP connection torque charts for the relevant thread size and material. If precise torque is critical, consult the manufacturerâs technical data sheet or supplier for the exact torque value.

Can the DKR-F hydraulic end, type ZBW140, carbon steel be used with metric BSPP hoses requiring flat gasket sealing?

Yes. The DKR-F hydraulic end, type ZBW140, carbon steel can be used with metric BSPP hoses that require flat gasket sealing. The product description specifies an internal BSP thread and nut with flat sealing and explicitly notes that it "requires the use of an additional flat gasket (DKR-F)," so it is designed for BSPP flat-gasket connections. It is intended for crimping onto hydraulic and industrial hoses using a compatible crimping sleeve, and its carbon steel, galvanized construction is suitable for typical hydraulic applications. Ensure you use the correct matching flat gasket size/material and a crimping sleeve appropriate for your hose type and dimensions to achieve a proper, leak-free assembly.
