New with the "Commander" is an entirely new type of hydraulic connector called the STC fitting. Unlike a traditional flared connector this new fitting utilizes an O-ring and snap connector. Gone is having to turn the flare nut onto the fitting which can result in cross threading, kinked hoses, or improperly torqued connections. These new fittings simply snap together for a leak free connection. A simple flat disconnecting wrench is all that is required to disconnect the hose from the fitting. This simple one handed operation is a real boon where space is limited and wielding a wrench in each hand difficult.
The hydraulic manifold is machined to accept the hose ends directly, eliminating the interconnecting fitting completely. This reduces the number of fitting connections which are potential leak points and increases room around the connections.
