About this deal

Hose connectors are made from a wide range of materials and there is a connector and material to suit every requirement. Hose connectors are normally made from steel, brass, stainless steel, aluminium and plastic material. How to choose the correct Hose Connector? Aluminium is a notably light metal – only around two-thirds the weight of steel or brass with the same mass. This makes it a great choice for larger connectors used within industrial settings. It is also highly resistant to corrosion, pliable, and less expensive than steel alternatives. Steel Hose Connectors Brass hose connectors make a good choice for low-pressure hosing and are often used with domestic garden watering equipment as well as fuel lines. Brass is resistant to corrosion and pliable but strong. However, it is important to ensure that only quality brass has been used in the manufacturing process as cheaply-made brass can be weak and porous. Aluminium Hose Connectors Hose connectors are supplied in standard sizes. Your choice of the correct size is based on the internal diameter of the hose you attach the connector to. You must also consider why you wish to use a connector.

Air hose connectors provide tight and reliable seals for attaching high-pressure hoses to air pumps, brakes, and breathing tanks. Water Hose Connectors There is no standard size because there is no singular standard use for hose connectors. They are connected to different-sized devices for varying tasks, in many environments. You should start by considering the specifics of the task at hand then select the right size connector. How Do Hose Connectors Work?Stainless steel is an alloy of steel and chromium, highly resistant to rust and other corrosive agents such as saltwater and spray. It is also suitable for use with very high-pressure liquids. Its principal disadvantage is the price – stainless steel hose connectors can cost several times as much as those made from regular carbon steel. Plastic Hose Connectors Carbon steel is a blend of steel and carbon. When properly treated, carbon steel is stronger than the regular alternative, although less pliable. Varying the blend of carbon and steel provides different strengths and levels of resistance to corrosion. Hose connectors made from carbon steel are widely used within industrial environments because they can withstand high pressures. Stainless Steel Hose Connectors Hydraulic hose connectors are fittings designed to connect hoses to various components used within hydraulic systems. This could include valves, cylinders, or pumps. Highly secure, hydraulic hose fittings offer tightly-sealed connections, preventing leakage, maintaining a safe operational level of pressure, and directing the flow of hydraulic fluid within the system. Brass Hose Connectors

Yes, this is a routine function of hose connectors. They can be connected to provide additional length, alter the direction of liquid flow, and repair breaks. Simply ensure that the connectors fitted to each end of the hoses are compatible with each other (e.g. female to male). Do You Need a Hose Connector?

Similar products

Yes. Without a solid seal created by a hose connector, it would be impossible to connect one liquid or air-bearing device to another without significant and potentially highly hazardous leakage. Are All Hose Connectors the Same? Hose connectors work by creating a water or airtight seal, normally via a carefully-calibrated combination of threading and metal tubing. How Do You Fit a Hose Connector?

Hose connectors are available in a variety of materials including stainless steel, standard or carbon steel, brass, aluminium, and polyamide (plastic). What Size is a Standard Hose Fitting?
