Product Information
Full details
This HoseWarehouse SAE American Thread Identification Kit is designed for technicians, mechanics, and DIYers working with hydraulic and pneumatic systems who need to quickly and accurately identify American-standard thread types. Its key benefit is providing a comprehensive solution with four specialized gauges for various thread and seal types, plus integrated rulers. A potential caveat is that it focuses solely on American threads and may require a complementary kit for international standards.

FAQs
What specific American thread types does this kit identify?
This kit identifies ORS/ORFS O-ring Face Seal, NPT/NPSM Pipe Thread (tapered and straight), JIC 37 Joint Industrial Council, AN Army/Navy, and ORB O-ring Boss fittings.
Does this kit include metric thread identification?
No, this kit is specifically designed for SAE American thread standards. It does include inch and metric rulers for general measurements, but not thread identification gauges for metric types.
How do the color-coded gauges help?
Each gauge is assigned a specific color (Green, White, Yellow, Grey) corresponding to the type of thread standard it measures. This makes it quicker and easier to select the correct gauge for identification.
Can I use this kit for both hydraulic and pneumatic systems?
Yes, the thread standards identified by this kit (like JIC, NPT, ORB) are commonly used in both hydraulic and pneumatic applications.
What is the weight of this kit?
The kit weighs approximately 1.0 pounds.
Is this kit intended to replace professional measurement tools?
This kit is a highly effective tool for quick identification and verification. For highly critical applications requiring absolute precision, it should be used in conjunction with other calibrated measurement tools.
What is the benefit of using the TGK02-HW with the TGK01-HW kit?
Using both kits provides a comprehensive solution for identifying a wider range of fittings, covering both SAE American standards (TGK02-HW) and international standards (TGK01-HW).
Troubleshooting
Gauge does not seem to fit a known thread type
Double-check the thread type against the color-coding and description for each gauge. Ensure you are not confusing similar thread standards or trying to identify a non-SAE thread type.
Difficulty reading thread size on the gauge
Ensure the gauge and the fitting are clean and free of debris. Use adequate lighting to read the markings. For precise measurements, use the integrated inch/metric ruler.
Gauge appears damaged or worn
Inspect the gauge for any visible damage. If a gauge is compromised, it may lead to inaccurate identification. Contact customer support for replacement options.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Accurately identifies a broad range of American thread types.
- Color-coding simplifies gauge selection.
- Includes rulers for additional measurement convenience.
- Durable and suitable for professional use.
- Enhances efficiency in assembly and repair tasks.
Cons
- Primarily focused on American SAE standards; may not cover all international thread types.
- Requires basic knowledge of thread types for optimal use.
- Does not include gauges for metric or other non-SAE thread standards.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This kit requires no setup; it is ready for immediate use upon unboxing. Simply select the appropriate gauge based on the suspected thread type.
Compatibility: The kit is designed to identify standard SAE American thread types including ORS/ORFS, NPT/NPSM, JIC 37, AN (Army/Navy), and ORB. It is most effective when used in conjunction with other identification kits if international thread standards are also encountered.
Care: To maintain accuracy and longevity, keep the gauges clean. Wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to remove dirt and hydraulic fluid. Store the kit in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Avoid dropping or subjecting the gauges to excessive force.
