Full Technical Description

560 077 00A ACCESSORIES, CONNECTOR This connector assembly is used to join hoses, tubes, or other components within the high-pressure fluid and air circuits of a rock drill. It establishes a reliable pathway for hydraulic oil, compressed air, or lubricant, ensuring that power is transmitted efficiently to systems like the drifter, boom, and feed. A secure connection is essential for maintaining the pressure needed for effective drilling.

A failing connector can have serious consequences beyond a simple drip. A sudden failure can release a high-pressure spray of hydraulic oil, creating a dangerous injection hazard for personnel and a significant fire risk. Even a small, persistent leak leads to fluid loss, environmental contamination, and can allow dirt to enter the system, causing premature wear on pumps and valves.

Visual inspection for leaks around fittings should be part of your daily checks. If you notice weeping oil or hear a hissing sound, the connector may need tightening or replacement. When installing a new connector, always ensure the threads and sealing surfaces are clean and undamaged. Using the genuine part guarantees the correct material strength and thread profile for a lasting, safe seal.
