Full title and description

SAE J1754/3 (J1754-3-2020) — Hose Assemblies, Hydraulic, J517 100R Series Hose — Part 3: Procurement and Ordering Information. This part of the J1754 series provides standardized procurement and ordering details for hose assemblies that use SAE J517 100R series hoses and fittings specified by SAE J516 or equivalent ISO 12151 parts, for hydraulic systems using petroleum-based hydraulic fluids.

Abstract

This document defines the procurement, ordering and identification information required when specifying hose assemblies built with SAE J517 100R series hoses and compatible connectors (SAE J516 or ISO 12151). It clarifies assembly designation, nominal sizes, fitting compatibility, and the definition that working pressure is the maximum system pressure used for ordering and procurement purposes.

Scope

SAE J1754/3 covers procurement and ordering information for hydraulic hose assemblies that use SAE J517 100R series hoses and connectors specified in SAE J516 or the applicable parts of ISO 12151. The standard applies to assemblies intended for hydraulic systems using petroleum-based hydraulic fluids and establishes the ordering data and designation conventions; it explicitly notes that "working pressure" is to be interpreted as maximum system pressure for procurement purposes.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized procurement and ordering nomenclature for hose assemblies using SAE J517 100R series hoses.
• Compatibility and reference to connector/fitting standards (SAE J516 and ISO 12151 parts) for end fittings and coupling dimensions.
• Specification of nominal sizes, dash-size designation, and assembly identification needed on purchase orders.
• Clarification that working pressure is the maximum system pressure used for selection and procurement.
• Instructions to reference hose series (100R family) and appropriate fitting type when ordering to avoid mismatches in performance or thread/sealing type.
• Guidance intended to assist OEMs, suppliers and purchasers in ensuring assemblies meet intended application, fluid compatibility, and system pressure requirements.

Typical use and users

Used by OEM engineers, procurement/specification teams, hose and fitting manufacturers, hydraulic system integrators, maintenance and service organizations, and quality/compliance personnel who must specify or buy hydraulic hose assemblies for mobile and industrial equipment. The standard is applied when precise ordering information is needed to ensure correct hose type, size and fitting compatibility for petroleum-based hydraulic systems.

Related standards

Commonly referenced standards include: SAE J517 (100R series hose family) for hose construction and performance; SAE J516 for hose fittings and coupling dimensions; and the ISO 12151 series (all applicable parts) as an international reference for fitting dimensions and performance. J1754 is a multipart publication (other parts in the J1754 series cover different aspects of hose assemblies).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: SAE J1754/3 is Part 3 of the SAE J1754 series and provides procurement and ordering information for hydraulic hose assemblies built from SAE J517 100R series hoses with fittings specified by SAE J516 or ISO 12151.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the information buyers and suppliers should use on purchase orders and procurement documents — e.g., assembly designations, nominal sizes, dash-size identification, fitting compatibility and the interpretation of working pressure as maximum system pressure — to ensure correct hose assemblies are supplied.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: OEM engineering and procurement teams, hose and fitting manufacturers, assembly suppliers, maintenance/service technicians, and quality/compliance staff who need consistent ordering and designation practices for hydraulic hose assemblies.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: SAE J1754/3 was reaffirmed on September 8, 2020 (designation J1754/3_202009). As of the latest check of SAE records and standards listings (search performed March 2, 2026), the 2020 reaffirmation is the most recent published action recorded; no later superseding revision was identified in that search. Users should verify with SAE International for any updates after this date.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — J1754 is a multipart SAE document. Part 3 (this document) addresses procurement/ordering; other parts address construction, performance or other specifics for hydraulic hose assemblies. Refer to the full J1754 family for related parts and responsibilities.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Hydraulic hose, J517 100R, procurement, ordering information, fittings, SAE J516, ISO 12151, working pressure, hose assembly specification, dash size.
