How to install a hydraulic hose crimp joint
As the name implies, an oil hose fitting is a metal joint attached to an oil pipe pipeline. You can frequently spot this type of oil hose connector in the oil circuits of hydraulic equipment, oil pumps, and similar setups. Now, let’s explore the models of oil hose fittings.
Most oil pipe joints are crimp-type hose joints. This kind of crimp-type hose joint typically comes as a three-piece set, consisting of a nut, a core, and a sleeve.
From the structural perspective, crimp-type oil pipe joints can be categorized into straight-through, 45-degree, and 90-degree types. Moreover, the threads, core head types, and sealing forms of each joint create a wide range of models and specifications for oil pipe joints. Orientflex offers oil pipe joint models with comprehensive size standards. While that includes details like the applicable hose diameter.
When selecting oil pipe joints, you need to decide on the model according to the diameter of the oil pipe and the connection method. Regarding materials, stainless steel is a popular choice. Carbon steel with white zinc or colored zinc plating is mainly used for anti-corrosion purposes, to prevent rust over time. So, for more stable long-term use, stainless steel is the way to go.
