Hose Fitting connect conductors such as hoses, pipes and tubes in a hydraulic system. Most fittings have a male and female component that join to form a connection. These connections help contain and direct the flow of hydraulic fluid in the conductor while preventing leaks and maintaining pressure.
Hose Fitting are made of many different materials including stainless steel, brass, and more. Not always, but often fittings match the material of the conductor used in a system.This multitude of materials creates fittings with a wide range of performance capabilities. Most hydraulic fittings have designated pressure and temperature ratings as well as size and dimension standards set by the SAE.
