Split flange adapter pad

Apparatus for connecting an hydraulic line to an hydraulic component, comprising:

• an adapter pad assembly including a metallic means having a terminal face having an annular concentric groove for reception of gasket means therein and an upper surface in the form of a flange having a diameter substantially equal to a standard size flange and a central upraised cylindrical portion, said adapter pad having a central port therethrough and the inner surface of said port in the area of said cylindrical portion being threaded and a metallic disc-shaped pad means having a central port and a concentric recess of a diameter equal to said standard size flange for receiving said terminal face of said metallic means and a lower face for contacting said hydraulic component and being of a diameter substantially equal to a step size flange larger than said standard size flange;
• a pair of split flange clamp halves having dual concentric recesses and an axial recess for accommodating said cylindrical portion, said dual concentric recesses adapted to abut the perimeters of the upper surfaces of said metallic means and said disc-shaped pad means, respectively;
• said pair of split flange halves having clearance holes from side to said for fastening means to pass therethrough, so as to securely fasten said adapter pad assembly to said hydraulic component;
• whereby said hydraulic line is threadedly engaged with said threaded inner surface of said port.

Apparatus for connecting an hydraulic line to an hydraulic component, comprising:

• a flange coupling having a terminal face having an annular concentric groove for reception of gasket means therein and an upper surface in the form of a flange and a central upraised cylindrical portion, said flange coupling having a central port therethrough and the inner surface of said port in the area of said cylindrical portion being threaded, said flange being a standard flange diameter;
• a disc-shaped metallic adapter pad having an upper face for sealingly contacting the terminal face of said flange coupling and having an external diameter corresponding to the diameter of a step size flange larger than the diameter of said flange of said flange coupling;
• a pair of split flange halves having dual concentric recesses and an axial recess for accommodating said flange coupling, having a first recess substantially equal in diameter to said disc-shaped adapter pad and a second recess substantially equal in diameter to said flange of said flange coupling, said dual concentric recesses adapted to abut the perimeter of the upper surface of said disc-shaped adapter pad and the perimeter of the upper surface of said flange of said flange coupling, respectively, said pair of split flange halves having clearance holes from said to side for fastening means to pass therethrough, so as to securely fasten said flange coupling and said adapter pad to said hydraulic component.
