You need a caliper or a real good eye, and page six.

In my experience with this usually if it is a 3/4 hose it's 3/4 Jic or # 12 if it's a 1"1/2 wrench it's 1 inch hose 1 inch fitting or #14 I have a chart on my phone but I don't know how to post it here goes

Quick and Dirty? The wrench size that fits the female fitting nut:

JIC # size/Wrench size
#4 /9/16
#6 /11/16
#8 /7/8
#10 /1"
#12 /1 1/4
#16 /1 1/2
#20 /2"

There are some HD fittings out there, i.e., #6 using a 3/4 wrench, but that's the quick/dirty. Refer to thread size posted by others to verify.

They're #14 on my 755B. 1 3/8 wrench fits. Bit of a hassle to get at but the more times you work with these the easier it becomes.

LoL, it just so happens, I was at work today working with a #14, 1 3/8" wrench, and it hit me...I failed to add #14 to my quick and dirty list. Oh well.

14's are not all that common, in my world neither are #10's.... Of course about the time you think you know what wrench you need some dweeb manufactures connectors out of odd size hex stock.

Case TLBs use lots of 10's. Not sure why.

Ford backhoes are about the only thing I've ever seen #14 JIC on. Pretty uncommon for sure.
