Eaton Hose Fittings

Almost any manufacturer can build a hose that will withstand a given amount of pressure by simply applying enough reinforcement over an inner tube extrusion. The difficult part is to manufacture a hose that will consistently perform well under a full range of actual operating conditions (impulse, flexing, heat, cold, aging, etc.) and to design and manufacture fittings that will work well with that hose under the same range of conditions. In other words, no hose line can be better than its “weakest link” whether it is the hose, the fitting, or the two in combination. Hose fittings are available in many shapes, each designed to fulfill certain requirements.
