Since 1977, Hy-Lok has been manufacturing high-quality fittings, valves, and other components for fluid control systems. If your facility or worksite operates hydraulic-powered equipment, we provide durable and long-lasting hydraulic fittings suited for several applications. Below, we’ll discuss ways these fittings can be used and how Hy-Lok’s commitment to quality guarantees long-lasting hydraulic components. Keep reading!
Purpose and Applications for Hydraulic Fittings
Hydraulic systems operate by pumping fluid or liquid gas into pipes and hoses to power different types of equipment. The role of a hydraulic fitting is to connect hoses to different components and provide more control over the flow of liquid. Fittings ensure the system’s pressure, prevent the hydraulic fluid from leaking out, and maintain the overall efficiency of equipment operations.
Hydraulic fittings are used across several industries, including construction, agriculture, automotive, oil and gas, and aerospace engineering. Some equipment that these fittings can be applied to include brake systems, hydraulic presses, excavators, skid loaders, and other hydraulic-operated machinery.
Our Hydraulic Fittings Catalogue
At Hy-Lok Canada, we provide several options for hydraulic fittings, including our 37° Flare JIC series fittings and ZCO O-Ring face seal fittings. All of our fittings are 100% factory-tested according to industry standards to guarantee their durability and longevity during system operations. Let’s examine these fittings in more detail:
37° Flare JIC Fittings: the JIC (or Joint Industrial Conference) Flare fittings from Hy-Lok are among the most popular connection styles for hydraulic machinery. Their 37° angle creates a secure and reliable seal for hydraulic hoses that minimizes the possibility of leakage and remains stable under high pressure. Our catalogue offers a range of configurations and sizes for these fittings to allow for use in various systems.
ZCO O-Ring Face Seal Fittings: Our ZCO O-Ring hydraulic fittings are ideal for hydraulic systems that operate under high pressure. Their flat-sealing surface prevents over-torquing and leakage due to their embedded seals. Each fitting from this line-up has been helium leak tested at a rate of 4×10.9 std cm3/s without any leakage.
Hy-Lok’s Commitment to Manufacturing Quality Fittings
At Hy-Lok, we believe in delivering hydraulic fittings to our customers with a focus on quality, reliability, and longevity. We use premium materials and manufacturing protocols to ensure our products can withstand harsh environments and consistent use over a long period of time. Each fitting we manufacture endures rigorous testing to guarantee a fitting that either meets or exceeds industry standards, including ISO, ASME, OSHAS, and API. Whether you work in construction or the oil and gas sector, you can have confidence that our hydraulic fittings will meet the needs of your worksite.
