Is the Flanged end 45Â° INTERLOCK SUPERCAT, carbon steel compatible with hoses 4SH, R13, and R15 using an O-ring seal in the flange groove?

Yes. The Flanged end 45Â° INTERLOCK SUPERCAT, carbon steel is compatible with hoses 4SH, R13, and R15 when using an O-ring seal or other gasket placed in the flange groove. The flange is designed to accept a gasket-type seal in the groove and the material (carbon steel, galvanized) is suitable for standard hydraulic flange connections with these hose types. Ensure the O-ring or gasket material and size are specified to match the flange groove dimensions and service conditions (pressure, temperature, fluid compatibility) for proper sealing and safe operation.

Can Flanged end 45Â° INTERLOCK SUPERCAT, carbon steel use a gasket instead of an O-ring for hoses 4SH, R13, and R15?

Flanged end 45Â° INTERLOCK SUPERCAT, carbon steel Format: No - you should use an O-ring in the flange groove for hoses 4SH, R13, and R15. The product description specifies an O-ring seal or other gasket in the flange groove; for high-pressure spiral hoses like 4SH, R13 and R15 the correct sealing is an O-ring sized to the groove to ensure proper pressure containment and avoid extrusion or leakage. Using a flat gasket instead of the specified O-ring is not recommended unless the manufacturer explicitly approves a compatible gasket material and profile for those hose types and the operating pressure/temperature.

Does Flanged end 45Â° INTERLOCK SUPERCAT, carbon steel require special torque values when using an O-ring or gasket for 4SH, R13, R15?

Yes. when using an O-ring or gasket in the flange groove of a Flanged end 45Â° INTERLOCK SUPERCAT, carbon steel for hose types 4SH, R13, and R15, you must follow specified torque values and tightening procedure to ensure proper seal and avoid flange or gasket damage. Details: - Seal type matters: O-rings and soft gaskets (rubber, PTFE, bonded) compress differently than metal gaskets; required bolt torque is set to achieve correct compression without extruding or cutting the seal. - Manufacturer guidance: Always follow the flange and gasket manufacturerâs recommended torque values for the specific gasket material and flange size. If a specific torque table for Flanged end 45Â° INTERLOCK SUPERCAT, carbon steel is provided, use those values. - General practice: Use incremental, cross-pattern tightening in several passes to reach target torque. For reusable connections on hydraulic hoses (4SH, R13, R15), typical torque ranges depend on bolt size, grade, flange size and gasket hardness. do not improvise. - Material considerations: Carbon steel, galvanized surfaces and the groove geometry affect friction; use lubricant or anti-seize as recommended by the supplier and account for it when applying torque (lubrication lowers friction and increases preload for the same torque). - Safety margin: For high-pressure hydraulic applications, verify torque with a calibrated torque wrench and re-check after initial pressurization. Replace O-rings/gaskets after disassembly; do not reuse damaged seals. - When manufacturer data is absent: Contact the Flanged end 45Â° INTERLOCK SUPERCAT, carbon steel supplier for exact torque specs for the flange size and bolt grade you are using. If unavailable, use standard flange/gasket torque tables matching bolt size, grade and gasket type, and apply conservative practice: progressive cross-pattern tightening and pressure test. Conclusion: Do not assume standard finger-tight or arbitrary torque. use specified torque values and correct procedure for Flanged end 45Â° INTERLOCK SUPERCAT, carbon steel with O-ring or gasket on hoses 4SH, R13, R15 to ensure a reliable, safe seal.
