How to Choose the Right Connectors and Fittings for Your Needs
When choosing hose connectors and fittings for commercial or industrial applications, use the following checklist to select the right component for your equipment:
- Diameter – confirm that the connector is the right size for the hose.
- Application – know whether the hose works with water, air, or other liquid.
- Pressure tolerance – understand the PSI needs of your hydraulic system.
- Chemical compatibility – check that your hose fitting is suited for the materials used.
- Shut-off – determine whether an automatic shut-off capability is required.
This checklist, coupled with a calculated choice between standard connectors and push-on fittings, can help determine which hose connector and fitting are best suited to your fluid control system.
