Can the DKM twisted hydraulic end, type SMW160, carbon steel be used with both rubber and thermoplastic hoses and which sleeve size is required?

Yes . the DKM twisted hydraulic end, type SMW160, carbon steel can be used with both rubber and thermoplastic hoses. It is designed for screwing into rubber and thermoplastic hoses using a screwed sleeve (metal-metal sealing on a 60Â° cone). For this specific DKM type SMW160 the required sleeve is the screwed sleeve that matches the SMW160 size (use the SMW160-compatible sleeve specified by the manufacturer). Ensure you select the sleeve rated for the hose type and diameter you are assembling and follow the manufacturerâs assembly torque and hose/sleeve compatibility charts.

Is the DKM twisted hydraulic end, type SMW160, carbon steel compatible with hoses requiring a metal-metal 60Â° cone seal and internal metric thread?

Yes. The DKM twisted hydraulic end, type SMW160, carbon steel is compatible with hoses requiring a metalâtoâmetal 60Â° cone seal and internal metric thread. It is a screwed hydraulic end with internal metric thread and nut, designed for metalâmetal sealing on a 60Â° cone and for screwing into rubber and thermoplastic hoses using a screwed sleeve. Material: carbon steel, galvanized.

Does the DKM twisted hydraulic end, type SMW160, carbon steel require a specific nut torque for metal-metal 60Â° cone sealing?

Yes. The DKM twisted hydraulic end, type SMW160, carbon steel requires a specific nut torque for a reliable metal-to-metal 60Â° cone seal. Proper torque is necessary to generate the correct axial clamp load that produces the metal cone seating without under-tightening (which can leak) or over-tightening (which can damage the cone, nut, or thread). Recommended practice: - Use the manufacturerâs specified torque value for SMW160; if unavailable, determine torque from nut size, thread pitch, and material using standard torque-tension charts for carbon steel fittings with a 60Â° cone. - Apply clean, lightly lubricated threads if specified by the manufacturer; lubrication significantly changes required torque compared with dry threads. - Tighten using a calibrated torque wrench and follow any specified assembly sequence (e.g., hand-tight plus a defined number of wrench turns or a torque figure). - After initial assembly, perform a pressure and leak test; re-torque if the manufacturer recommends verification after pressurization or thermal cycling. If you need an exact Newtonâmeter value, consult the SMW160 product datasheet or the manufacturerâs assembly instructionsâthese provide the precise torque or tightening method for the DKM twisted hydraulic end, type SMW160, carbon steel.
