NOTES:

1. Dimensions are in inches, unless otherwise specified, tolerances decimals + .010.

2. The surface of shoulder sleeve must fully contact with MIL-DTL-25427/2 bulkhead coupling
half male surface when coupled with body nut.

3. MIL-DTL-25427/3 type I hose attaching halves are designed to be used with

MIL-DTL-25427/6 type I coupling nuts only and MIL-DTL-25427/3 type II hose attaching
halves are designed to be used with MIL-DTL-25427/6 type II coupling nuts only. Type I and
type II hose attaching coupling halves or coupling nuts are not interchangeable with each other.
However, type I or type II hose attaching half assemblies with nuts installed are interchangeable
with the aircraft bulkhead halves of the same sizes and pressure classes.

4. For design feature purposes, this specification sheet takes precedence over the procurement
document.

5. Referenced documents shall be of the issue in effect on date of contract award.

REQUIREMENTS:

1. Material -for material requirements, see procurement specification MIL-DTL-25427.

2. Finish -for finish requirements, see procurement specification MIL-DTL-25427.

3. The surface of the aluminum alloy parts, after anodizing, sealing and surface treatment, shall
be free of pits, powder coatings, discontinuities (such as scratches or breaks) and shall be
uniform in appearance.

4. External threads shall be produced by die cutting or machining by the single point method.

5. The coupling body shall have wrench flats for wrenching of end fitting connectors.

6. The part or identification number (PIN) consists of the letter M, the specification sheet
number, a dash number from table I, material code, end fitting type and pressure class.

7. Marking. Marking shall consist of the complete specification sheet part number and
manufacturer's name, trademark, or CAGE code and shall be impression stamped or laser etched
and shall be protected from corrosion.

8. Interchangeability. Coupling, coupling halves, or coupling parts shall be interchangeable

having the same tube size and pressure class. This coupling half configuration is known to be
similar to Stratoflex coupling half 13901, Eaton coupling half 155-S5, and Hydraulic
International coupling half HL-A-XF-B. Parker coupling half 4400 has a smaller collar (D

diameter) and will not interchange with other coupling halves. Suppliers seeking to be on QPL-
25427 are responsible for interchangeability and shall perform the manual operation test to
ensure a manufactured coupling is interchangeable with other suppliers’ couplings and coupling
halves and vice versa.

9. Operation. Connection and disconnection of the coupling half with MIL-DTL-25427/2

bulkhead mounting half and MIL-DTL-25427/5 coupling plug shall be easily accomplished
using a simple turning motion. The coupling halves when assembled shall function satisfactorily
as required in MIL-DTL-25427. When connecting the coupling halves, the coupling assembly
may have a partially coupled and unlocked position, but shall remain stable and permit fluid
flow.

10. Test requirements. The test shall be performed in accordance with the applicable test
requirements of MIL-DTL-25427. Suppliers seeking qualification of new couplings are
responsible for interchangeability of their coupling halves with the existing qualified couplings.
The qualifying activity will perform the manual operation tests of the coupling halves provided
by manufacturers whenever necessary to ensure interchangeability and leakage within the
allowable limit.

11. Intended use. This hose attaching coupling half is intended for use in ground support
equipment delivering hydraulic fluid from ground cart to aircraft operating at 3000 and 5000 PSI
and returning at 1000 PSI. Type II system fluid is capable of operating at temperature ranging
from -65 °F to +275 °F. These couplings halves are intended for use in military and aerospace
hydraulic ground support equipment where the bulkhead mounting half and protective cap are
part of the aircraft and the hose attaching half and protective plug are part of the ground support
equipment.
