Is the Metric Male Threaded End, 60° Taper, Carbon Steel, Type SA suitable for use with both rubber and textile-reinforced plastic hoses?

Yes. The Metric Male Threaded End, 60° Taper, Carbon Steel, Type SA is suitable for use with both rubber hoses and textile-reinforced plastic hoses (with external steel braid). SA-type fittings with external metric thread and 60° cone sealing are specifically designed for secure, leak-tight connections in low-pressure applications and are intended for rubber hoses as well as non-reinforced and textile-reinforced plastic hoses featuring external steel braid. Manufactured from galvanized carbon steel, they offer corrosion and wear resistance, making them appropriate for flexible hose assemblies in sanitary installations, fuel transfer, compressed air lines, and similar industrial uses.

Can the Metric Male Threaded End, 60° Taper, Carbon Steel, Type SA withstand exposure to common hydraulic fluids and fuels without degradation?

Metric Male Threaded End, 60° Taper, Carbon Steel, Type SA Format — Yes, with qualifications. The Type SA fittings are manufactured from galvanized carbon steel and are described as suitable for fuel transfer systems and a wide range of industrial fluid applications, which indicates they are compatible with many common hydraulic fluids and fuels. Galvanized carbon steel provides good mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, and some corrosion protection, and the 60° cone sealing offers reliable leak-tight connections in low-pressure hose assemblies. However, performance depends on specific fluid chemistry, concentration, temperature, pressure, and contact duration. Mineral hydraulic oils and common petroleum fuels are typically compatible with galvanized carbon steel and rubber/textile-reinforced hoses used with SA fittings. Aggressive fluids — strong acids/alkalis, certain aviation fuels with additives, phosphate ester fire‑resistant fluids, or fluids containing water/microbial contamination — can cause accelerated corrosion, galvanic attack, seal swelling or degradation of hose materials. Recommendation: Confirm compatibility by checking the exact hydraulic fluid or fuel specifications (chemistry, additives, temperature) against the carbon steel and the hose/lining materials used in the assembly. For aggressive fluids or higher-pressure/critical applications, consider alternative materials (stainless steel, compatible coatings) or confirm with the manufacturer.
