VHP SAE J1453 O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS)

The seal is achieved when the O-Ring in the male contacts the flat face of the female. These couplings are intended for hydraulic systems where elastomeric seals can be used to prevent leakage and where leak control is critical. This connection provides excellent leakage control. The male connector has a straight thread and a machined flat face. The female connector has a straight thread and a machined flat face. The seal is achieved by compressing the O-Ring against the flat face of the female, similar to a split flange fitting. The threads maintain the connection mechanically.
