So if the displayed is a face seal what is a seal on a fitting called that is above the thread and under the hex. It does not seal in the bore above the thread but on the top of the fitting it is screwed into. Sometimes it is machined into the fitting hex face some times it is a plain o ring with a washer around the out side sometimes it is integral with the washer as a moulded part?
the type of seal you mentioned is done on a BSP parallel thread they cut a grove in the hex and insert the 'o' ring in the grove and when the thread is tightened the o ring will expand in the grove and form a seal on the face of the female part
different places or countries call it different names. i call that ORING FLAT FACE (ORFS) and the other thread i call that as UNO thread same as JIC thread only difference between the JIC and UNO is UNO thread seals on the oring and JIC will have a cone sticking out with a chamfer and a female will have a cone sticking in for the male JIC seal in if you get what i mean.
Great job explaining it SIMPLY! 2 THUMBS UP!
Thanks you so much for this. It's so simple yet I couldn't find anywhere else that actually explained it.

What’s the difference between JIC fittings and sae fittings and AN fittings
thank you!
Good stuff thank you
But is there any actual difference in both o-rings besides where they sit?

Different seal fittings! ORB fitting is a SAE standard fittings is UNF thread with an O ring. Creating a seal by O ring but thread.

I might be mistaken but the ORB nut can also swivel to allow for pipe orientation at ports ? please clarify
YES
