This comprehensive approach enables us to meet the unique requirements of each customer, making us a trusted supplier across multiple industry types. To meet the varied needs of our clientele, we maintain a comprehensive inventory that includes both one-piece and two-piece hydraulic hose and fittings options. Whether our customers prefer the convenience and reliability of one-piece fittings or the flexibility and customization of two-piece fittings, we have the right solutions readily available. To determine whether your business would benefit from using our one-piece or two-piece options, here is a brief rundown on each:
One Piece Crimp Couplings
One-piece fittings and in particular our Continental fittings are crafted from a single piece of steel, ensuring a seamless and continuous design without any brazed or welded joints. This single-piece construction provides ultimate protection against leaks and potential leak paths, making the fittings highly dependable for critical hydraulic applications.
If your business relies on machines with low, medium, or high-pressure rubber hydraulic hoses and you seek a hydraulic hose system that is both straightforward and reliable, one-piece fittings could be the perfect fit for your needs. Their uncomplicated design simplifies the installation process, saving valuable time and effort in setting up or replacing hoses.
Furthermore, the dependability of these fittings minimizes the risk of unexpected failures, reducing downtime and maintenance costs for your machinery. With their ability to withstand varying pressure levels, one-piece fittings provide a versatile and durable solution, making them an excellent choice for any business seeking a trouble-free and efficient hydraulic hose system.
Two Piece Crimp Couplings
Two-piece fittings stand out as an excellent choice, as they can provide both versatility and inventory reduction in hydraulic hose systems. These fittings are designed to accommodate a wide range of hydraulic hoses, from low to high-pressure rubber applications, thermoplastic and stainless steel braided, making them adaptable to various machinery types and operational requirements.
By using two-piece fittings, businesses can streamline their inventory management, as they only need to stock a limited number of fitting types to cover a broad range of hose sizes and pressure ratings.
Unlike specialized one-piece fittings, which may require different variants for different hose sizes, two-piece fittings only require alternate ferrules that can be easily swapped to accommodate various hose types. This flexibility allows for greater compatibility with different hoses and eliminates the need to maintain a vast inventory of specific fitting types. As a result, businesses can significantly reduce the costs associated with stocking and managing numerous fitting variations. Just like one-piece fittings, the two-piece design ensures a secure and leak-free connection, providing peace of mind regarding hydraulic system integrity. Additionally, its straightforward assembly process facilitates quicker hose replacements and repairs, ultimately leading to reduced downtime and increased productivity.
