Hydraulic hose fittings are read by determining the fitting type, size, and angle. The fitting type can be identified through its shape and design, while the size is usually measured in inches or millimeters. The angle, typically 45, 90, or 180 degrees, is determined by the orientation of the fitting's port or end. Sources: 1. "How to Identify Fluid Ports and Connectors - Discount Hydraulic Hose", (Source: https://www.discounthydraulichose.com...). The information can be found throughout the guide, but specifically in the sections "How to measure a fitting" and "Identifying thread types". 2. "Hydraulic Fitting Thread Identification Manual U.S.A. 2014 - Gates", (Source: https://assets.gates.com/content/dam/...). This information is scattered throughout the manual, but especially in the "How to Measure Threads" section.
