Title: lance / hose fitting sizing
Post by: JSMC on March 05, 2012, 10:19:50 pm
how do you measure the male female connectors? i have a machine from jetmac (loncin 13hp). i want to buy a new lance but unsure what size fitting i need to get fitted onto it.

Which fitting do you need the size for? The sittings on your hose are 3/8 from memory. Most guns come with a 3/8 female but get one with a swivel so your hose doesn't twist. Go down to euro hydraulics they'll sort you.

euro hydraulics will be able to get you one in. But try Exchange Engineering 01476578505
get them to send you out a catalogue. good gear, good prices. but like i said, that place you got your hoses from will do you a lance no probs. ive been back there a few times, for hoses and alot of fittings.

EDIT: just re-read your post mate, so you wanna keep your gun and just change the lance? where your lance screws into your gun is normally 1/4'' but the gun end is usually female. but its always 1/4''

Yeah, i got some of the heavier blue hose, but im going back to replace all the stuff on my reel with the black stuff you got.
give them a try for the gun/lance, they will be able to order you in something, or they may have something in the workshop. Ive seen a few lances laying around when ive been in.
