Is this the quick disconnect I need? https://www.discounthydraulichose.com/10000-psi-coupler-sets.html They only have this type for "hydraulic jack service". I am not sure if I really need 10 000 psi, but my original hose is rated at 60Mpa which is 8700psi.

I agree with you, but still need to connect that new hose to this fitting on the pump. This does look like a 1/2" JIC. And then the new hose also needs to have a 90 such as this because there is no space in the power cabinet to connect a straight hose. The hose is coming in from the left side...

Thanks, I'll check them out. I'll give them a call today and see what they say. I checked the Adaptall site and they have a lot of fittings but the one I need is a bit tricky, it needs to be metric on one side (my original hose side) and JIC on another. The other option would be to discard my...

I do have a set of SAE and Metric thread gauges and I measured the fitting to be an M14x1.5, Pirtek couldn't even do that. They did say that the fitting and the female hose coupler are different threads but "somehow" they fit each-other. From all that, so far I got this. The male end (a Tee...

The manual was the first thing I checked but it's just basic info, nothing specific and no fitting size. I'll give Adaptall a call tomorrow and see if they have anything. Which distributors in the Raleigh area? Earlier today I searched for local hydraulic shops and found Pirtek, Grainger...

Thank you for confirming, it really felt like a rip off. I was shocked at the price honestly. And then people ask "Why don't you support local businesses?" lol :ROFLMAO: I do not have any other local hydraulic store around. I do have Tractor Supply stores around and that was the first place I...

So, I went to the Pirtek store and they couldn't find a fitting that matches my hose. They said the hose coupling was metric, but the other side that connects to the hose was JIC. They suggested I check with adaptall.com but I still don't know what to order. I measured the threads on the...

Thanks! I've been thinking about how to cover the lines as well and will definitely do that. There are also a few wires that will go along the hose and I don't want to drill into the concrete for that cover. I've seen some plastic channels probably on amazon such as the one below, but I will...

Yeah, I thought about that some more and you guys are right about having a QD at the lift. As this is a scissor lift, it's recommended to have the engine side of the car at the front of the lift. If I want to lift a car in reverse, I have to rotate the lift and a QD will be very helpful in that...

Yeah, I know how they work but I do not have them now. I was just thinking to buy an extension hose that threads into my current hose and connect everything permanently, fill up with hydraulic fluid and purge. I mentioned quick disconnects in my first thread as a second option if I cannot...

Thanks for the info! Are you saying I should connect it with the original hose, fill it up, purge and then disconnect and attach the extension hose? I did not want to connect it or fill it up yet because I imagine a lot of that hydraulic fluid will leak out if I disconnect the hoses later. Will...

So, it's time for a final update. I purchased a lift and it's a mid rise scissor lift that goes up to 47". It's a Katool X-90E 220V and I picked it up yesterday. So far it looks good but the box was damaged during shipping and parts are missing. The customer service has been great so far...

Hey everyone! I had another thread on this forum with questions trying to make a decision what kind of car lift to get for my 2 car residential garage. (link here). And now that I finally purchased and received the lift, I have a bunch of questions about it. First, about the unit. I got a...

Thank you for the response, appreciate you! I went back and forth with the decision between a scissor lift and a 2 post and the main issue would be my ceiling height which is 10ft (120"). My F150 is around 70", the other cars are around 60", so the max I could lift the F150 would be around 45"...

Thanks for the replies to everyone! I've been thinking a lot about this and been going between a 2 post and a mid rise scissor lift and I think I am pretty much decided on a scissor lift. There are many reasons for thinking about getting a mid rise scissor lift, but just to mention a few: -...
