Global TTC 1 & 2 Wire Braid Steel Crimp Fitting, 7/16-20 Male SAE O-Ring Boss (Straight Thread O-Ring), -04 Hose, Straight

This fitting is designed for general purpose, low to medium pressure hydraulic systems. It's suitable for applications where you might run into some shock hazards, so it should be a reliable choice for farm equipment.

For SAE o-ring boss fittings, that's correct. The sealing happens through the o-ring itself making contact with the boss seat, so thread sealants like tape or paste aren't needed and can actually interfere with a proper seal. No mandrel is required on the hose side either, which keeps installation straightforward. Just make sure the o-ring is in good shape and seated right before torquing down.
