Hydraulic Fittings – Frequently Asked Questions
What are hydraulic fittings and what are they used for?
Hydraulic fittings are connectors used to join tubes and hoses in hydraulic systems securely, pressure-resistant and leak-free. They serve as an interface between hydraulic power units, valves and consumers such as hydraulic motors or cylinders. Applications include mechanical engineering, vehicle technology, industrial systems, agricultural machinery and construction, even under high pressures and dynamic loads.
Which criteria are decisive for selecting the correct hydraulic fitting?
- Tube or hose dimensions (outside diameter)
- Operating pressure (often several hundred bar)
- Medium and operating conditions (fluid, temperature, corrosion, vibration)
- Material selection: steel, stainless steel, brass
- Connection types and sealing methods (cutting ring, O-ring, flange)
- Standards: DIN, ISO, SAE
- Ease of installation and maintenance
- Safety margin for pressure and load
What materials are hydraulic fittings typically made from?
- Steel (often zinc-plated) – for high-pressure industrial applications
- Stainless steel – corrosion-resistant, suitable for aggressive or hygienic environments
- Brass – for mobile or lightweight applications with lower loads
The choice depends on pressure, medium, corrosion protection requirements and temperature resistance.
What different sizes and types of hydraulic fittings exist?
Available in sizes from 4 mm to 42 mm outer diameter, in both metric (DIN) and imperial (BSP, NPTF, UNF) versions.
Types:
- Straight connectors
- Elbow fittings
- Bulkhead fittings
- T-pieces, connectors, adapters, screw-in fittings, reducers etc.
What advantages do hydraulic fittings offer in hydraulic systems?
- High pressure resistance (several hundred bar)
- Leak-free connections thanks to precise sealing elements
- Compact design for space-saving installation
- Wide range of materials for different media and environments
What must be considered when installing and assembling hydraulic fittings?
- Observe tightening torques according to manufacturer specifications
- Use reinforcement sleeves for thin-walled tubes
- Sealing function through cutting ring or sealing element
- Before assembly: clean and inspect threads, seals and sealing surfaces
How is the maintenance of hydraulic fittings carried out and which factors influence their service life?
- Regular visual inspection
- Retightening if vibrations occur
- Inspect/replace seals and cutting rings during disassembly
Factors influencing service life:
- Material quality
- Operating pressure
- Fluid compatibility
- Temperature exposure
- Maintenance intervals
- Environmental conditions (corrosion, mechanical stress)
Where can hydraulic fittings be purchased, and which quality features should be considered?
Hydraulic fittings are available from specialist suppliers such as the Hydromot Hydraulic Shop. Purchasing in OEM quality is recommended to ensure the highest product standards.
