FAQ
How can I tell BSPP and BSPT hydraulic fittings apart?
BSPP has parallel threads and usually seals with an O-ring or bonded seal, while BSPT has tapered threads and seals through thread interference.
What is the difference between JIC 37° and SAE 45° fittings?
JIC 37° and SAE 45° use different flare angles, so they may look similar but cannot seal correctly with each other.
When should I use ORFS fittings?
ORFS fittings are a better choice for high-pressure systems, strong vibration, and applications where leak prevention matters more.
How do I choose between one-piece and two-piece hose fittings?
One-piece fittings are easier for standard hose assembly, while two-piece fittings give more flexibility for matching different hose types.
Which hose fittings are better for on-site repair?
Reusable hose fittings are often better for on-site repair because they can be installed without a crimping machine.
Can I use the same fitting for braided hose and spiral hose?
No, braided hose and spiral hose often need different fitting designs because their structure, wall thickness, and pressure level are not the same.
What information should I provide if I do not know the fitting type?
You should send a clear photo, thread size, thread pitch, hose outer diameter, and the machine application for faster matching.
Why do hydraulic hose fittings leak even when the thread looks correct?
A fitting can still leak if the sealing surface, flare angle, or thread type does not match the connected part.
Are one-piece crimp fittings suitable for replacement applications?
Yes, one-piece crimp fittings are widely used in replacement applications because they help reduce assembly error and improve consistency.
Can you customize hydraulic hose fittings for special applications?
Yes, custom hydraulic hose fittings can be made based on your drawing, sample, thread standard, or hose assembly requirement.
