Hydraulic Reusable Couplings

Every hydraulic system needs couplers to connect hoses and tubes with a pump, tank, cylinders, valves, and other parts. In order to fit every possible application, couplings are offered in many sizes, designs, and materials, and their characteristics such as resistance to temperature and pressure vary. The fittings can be divided into two main families, crimped and field attachable types. The former are permanent, the latter can be temporary and reusable. As the name implies, reusable couplings can be installed and removed several times. They consist of a nipple and socket and do not require the use of a crimper to be installed.

Typically, they are connected with the help of a wrench and vise to make disassembly possible. While crimped fittings are considered more reliable, reusable couplings remain popular because there are more chances to have wrenches and vises in a toolbox than a crimper. However, the spread of portable crimping machines is making field attachable fittings less popular. As their crimped siblings, reusable fittings are available in many designs including male, female, flange, male to female, and other types. On our virtual shelves, you can find a vast assortment of hydraulic reusable couplings made to perfection by reputable companies to ensure efficiency and durability.
