The Sun Hydraulics X3T (Material Number: X3T) is a line mount interface component designed for hydraulic systems, featuring a banjo bolt body type with through port 3. This model is engineered with a robust 6061-T651 aluminum construction, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and durability. The X3T model includes a banjo bolt installation torque specification ranging from 33 lb. ft. to 36 lb. ft. (45 Nm to 49 Nm) and utilizes a hex size of .75 inches. It is equipped with open cavities labeled as T163A and features a port size of 14 BSPP, ensuring compatibility with standard hydraulic connections. This component is ideal for applications requiring reliable fluid transfer in hydraulic circuits, offering ease of installation and maintenance due to its straightforward design and materials that resist wear in corrosive environments. The manifold's pressure rating is determined by the material, which supports up to 3000 psi (210 bar), making it suitable for various medium-pressure hydraulic applications while maintaining structural integrity under operational stress. Designed without anodizing, this model avoids the common pitfalls associated with anodized aluminum components such as increased breakaway torque and reduced fatigue life, thereby providing longer service life and consistent performance in demanding conditions. The Sun Hydraulics X3T offers high flow capabilities and integrates seamlessly into existing systems, making it an efficient choice for enhancing or maintaining hydraulic system performance.

Show FAQ

Why does Sun use 6061 aluminum?	6061-T651 is relatively strong, relatively inexpensive, difficult to machine, readily available in all shapes and sizes and very corrosion resistant. 2024 is stronger and machines beautifully, but is expensive and falls to pieces in a corrosive environment.
Why doesn't Sun anodize their aluminum bodies?	Reasons to anodize: To increase corrosion resistance. Sun uses 6061-T651 aluminum. It is one of the most corrosion resistant aluminum alloys there is. Whether or not anodizing improves the corrosion resistance of 6061 aluminum is debatable. We have yet to have a manifold returned because of corrosion. Appearance (color). The 2 colors that would appeal to Sun would be blue or black. Unfortunately these are the colors that are hardest to do consistently. To provide a hard wear surface. Sun does not make parts-in-body valves. The manifold is just plumbing. We don't need a wear surface. Because everyone else does it. Bad reason. Reasons to not anodize: Cost. It's another process. Logistics. When you make tens of thousands of manifolds a month and you anodize hundreds, it's a problem. Consistency. See above. Stamping. After a body is anodized you cannot do any more stamping without making a mess.Inspection. Have you ever tried to look for burrs in a black anodized body? It's the old blackboard factory at night scenario. Torque. You will experience an increase in breakaway torque when removing items from an anodized manifold. Fatigue life. This is the best reason to not anodize. Fatigue failure is a very complex phenomenon. What it takes to initiate a crack is difficult to predict. What it takes to propagate a crack is readily defined. Anodizing produces a very thin, very hard, and very brittle surface on aluminum. The first time you pressurize an anodized aluminum manifold you have initiated fatigue cracks. Whether or not the stress is enough to propagate the cracks is a matter of pressure and manifold geometry. Anodizing an aluminum manifold grossly reduces the fatigue life by anywhere from 20% to 50%.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.

Notes:

Important: Carefully consider the maximum system pressure. The pressure rating of the manifold is dependent on the manifold material, with the port type/size a secondary consideration. Manifolds constructed of aluminum are not rated for pressures higher than 3000 psi (210 bar), regardless of the port type/size specified.
