Types of hose fittings
Hose fittings connect hoses to pumps, valves, cylinders and other components within industrial or hydraulic machinery. These secure connections help contain and direct the flow of liquids within the machinery while thwarting leaks and maintaining pressure. Let’s look at a few types of hose fittings:
- Barbed fittings: These connect hoses through a barbed tube with a tapered stub and ridges inserted into the hose. These are best suited for low-pressure applications.
- Compression fittings: These are built to join two hoses together by compressing the hose using a compression nut and ferrule. Compression fittings are commonly used for tubing and piping applications.
- Flare fittings: These have a tapered or flared end into which the hose is fitted with the help of special flaring tools. These fittings provide the best connections for hoses handling high pressures.
The type of hydraulic or air hose fitting you need is dependant on the application you have in mind and the industry you work in. Why not browse our online directory for hose fittings near you?
