Hydraulic Fittings

Product Description

Hydraulic fittings are components used to connect hydraulic hoses, pipes, and tubes in a hydraulic system. They play a crucial role in ensuring a leak-free and efficient transmission of hydraulic fluid under high pressure. These fittings are typically made of materials like steel, stainless steel, brass, or aluminum to withstand the high pressures and harsh environments common in hydraulic systems.

There are various types of hydraulic fittings designed to suit different applications and configurations. Some common types include:

1. JIC fittings: Joint Industry Council (JIC) fittings have a 37-degree flare seating surface and are widely used in hydraulic systems. They provide a reliable seal and are easy to assemble.

2. NPT fittings: National Pipe Taper (NPT) fittings have tapered threads and are commonly used for low-pressure hydraulic applications. They require thread sealant to prevent leaks.

3. SAE fittings: Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) fittings have straight threads and are often used in automotive hydraulic systems.

4. BSP fittings: British Standard Pipe (BSP) fittings are popular in Europe and have parallel threads. They come in various configurations like BSP parallel and BSP tapered (BSPT).

5. Metric fittings: Metric fittings follow metric thread standards and are commonly used in hydraulic systems in regions that use the metric system.

6. ORFS fittings: O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) fittings use an O-ring to create a tight seal between the fitting and the mating surface. They are widely used in high-pressure hydraulic systems.

7. Compression fittings: Compression fittings use a compression ring (ferrule) to secure the connection between the fitting and the tube or hose.
