Came across these pretty often in the shop — we're talking about the 15618-06-06 stainless steel hydraulic transition joints, and they've been a solid option for the equipment we service around here.

They follow DIN standard, which basically means they fit what you'd expect for excavator hydraulics or general hydraulic systems without the headache of mismatched threads. It's a male thread connection with a round head — nothing flashy, but the galvanized surface treatment gives them decent corrosion resisance, usually lasting longer than untreated fittings in wet conditions. The weight is about 0.2kg per unit, so they're not featherlight, but the 5L drum of them feels manageable. Most buyers go with the silver option, though white and yellow are available if you want to color-code your lines for maintenance.


60 per box is the standard packaing, and we usually stock plain boxes; wooden pallets are avaliable but you'll want to confirm lead time if you need those. Not ideal for high-pressrue cryo systems though — better suited for standard hydraulic setups where you're not pushing extreme temps.

Also, you'll get a CAS-free COA with each shipment if you ask — it's something buyers don't always think to request but it help if your compliance team gets picky. One thing form handling them: the galvanized coating can flake a bit during first install, so wipe the threads clean before you tighten. That's about all the detail we've got right now, but they're roughly an inch and a half in length give or take.
We typically require 100 pieces per order, but if you need a smaller quantity to test or for a small project, just reach out and we can sometimes adjust.
Yes, we can issue a mill test certificate for the stainless steel joints upon request—just let your sales rep know before shipping.
We can do custom surface treatments like black oxide or zinc-nickel if you order at least 500 pieces. For color, we’re limited to the three options listed unless you supply the coating spec.
Stock orders usually ship within 7-10 working days. For larger quantities or custom finishes, figure 15-20 working days depending on the factory schedule.
Yes, each box holds 60 pieces, and we use standard export cartons with inner dividers to prevent thread damage. The boxes are palletized and stretch-wrapped for container shipping.
