5 Hose end couplings
Note: This Clause covers newly produced hose end fittings constructed entirely of new unused ports and materials that will be used with a hose complying with Clause 4 of this Standard.
5.1 Construction
All gas containing hose end couplings consistent with the service for which the connector is designed, shall be of corrosion-resistent metal or corrosion-resistent platted metal conforming to the test criteria specified in this section.
5.1.1
Threads on pipe-end connections of fittings shall be taper pipe threads conforming to the Standard for
Pipe Threads, General Purpose (Inch, ASME B1.20.1, NPTor the Standard for Dry Seal Pipe Threads
(Inch), ASME Bl.20.3 NPTF.
5.1.2
Flare type fittings up to and including 3/4 in (19.05 mm) shall comply with the Standard for
Refrigeration Tube Fittings, SAE J513.
5.1.3
Flare type fittings larger than 3/4 in (19.05 mm) shall comply with the Stadnard for Metallic Tube
Connections for Fluid Power and General Use — Part 1: 37° Flared Fittings, J514/1.
5.1.4
A standard propane cylinder connection device shall comply with the Standard for Cylinder Connection
Devices, ANSI Z21.81 • CSA 6.25 and the Standard for Adapters and Cylinder Connection Devices for
Portable LP-Gas CylinderAssemblies, UL 2061. For the purpose of this Standard these regulator
assemblies are considered hose end fittings and shall comply with the performance requirements of
