Hydraulic hoses such as SAE 100 R1, R2, R9, R13, 4SP, and 4SH are manufactured through advanced wire braiding and hose extrusion processes. These hoses are supplied by hose manufacturers in bare roll form.

Since these hoses are designed for high pressure applications, they cannot be used directly in their bare form. To make them operational, high pressure hose end fittings must be provided on both ends. These fittings are crimped onto the hose ends using specialized hydraulic hose crimping machines, ensuring a secure and leak proof connection.
Once the hose end fittings are crimped on to the hoses, the hoses are now ready for use.

Construction of Hydraulic Hose End Fittings

Hydraulic hose end fittings generally consist of two piece or three-piece constructions:

Female Hose End Fittings

A typical female hose fitting consists of:

• Female Nut
• Serrated Stem
• Ferrule Cap

Male Hose End Fittings

A male hose fitting consists of:

• Male threaded serrated stem
• Ferrule Cap

Manufacturer Profile

Hydrofit Engineers is a reputed manufacturer of high pressure hydraulic hose fittings, designed to ensure reliable and durable hose assemblies for demanding industrial applications.

Types of Hydraulic Hose Fittings Manufactured

1. Female Swivel End Fittings

• BSP Female Swivel
• Metric Female Swivel
• JIC (UNF) Female Swivel
• ORFS

2. Male Thread End Fittings

• BSP Male Thread
• NPT Male Thread
• Metric Male Thread
• JIC (UNF) Male Thread

3. Stub End Fittings

Stub end fittings consist of a serrated stem with a round flat head and an O-ring on the flat face. These fittings are used along with split hydraulic flanges and are bolted to machines to form a strong, robust, and leak proof hydraulic joint.

• Standard Design: Used for medium-pressure hoses such as SAE 100 R1 and SAE 100 R2
• Heavy-Duty Design: Used for high-pressure spiral hoses such as SAE 100 R9, SAE 100 R13, 4SP, and 4SH

For high pressure applications, the fittings feature:

• Special stem serrations
• Longer serrated stem length
• Extended crimping ferrules

These enhancements ensure superior grip, resistance to vibration, and reliable performance under extreme pressure conditions.
