Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications of the CL 17K5 hydraulic elbow?
A: The CL 17K5 is a forged carbon steel 90-degree hydraulic elbow fitting with SAE J514 3/4-16 UNF female thread, black oxide corrosion-resistant finish, and a 3000 PSI working pressure rating. It is the OEM part for Clark electric lift trucks and equivalent to Clark cross-reference number 1311825.
Q: Which Clark models use the CL 17K5 elbow fitting?
A: The CL 17K5 is compatible with Clark electric lift trucks equipped with 3/4-16 UNF hydraulic ports and 90-degree elbow configurations in their lifting or tilting circuits. Verify your truck model and serial range against the part application chart before ordering.
Q: Can I use the CL 17K5 on other lift truck brands?
A: The CL 17K5 is an OEM Clark part. If your Toyota, Raymond, Yale, or other brand lift truck has identical 3/4-16 UNF ports and operates at 3000 PSI, this fitting may be mechanically compatible. Always verify thread type, port size, and system pressure rating before substituting.
Q: What is the service life of the CL 17K5 elbow?
A: The CL 17K5 is a passive hydraulic fitting with no moving parts. Under normal operating conditions with clean hydraulic fluid, forged steel elbows typically last the lifetime of the truck. Lifespan depends on system pressure stability, fluid condition, and vibration environment.
Q: Why is the CL 17K5 black oxide coated?
A: The black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance in warehouse, wet dock, and outdoor environments. This protective coating extends fitting life and prevents rust staining on lift trucks used in demanding material handling applications.
