Male x Male 90°Compact Hydraulic Adaptors

Hydraulic adaptors are used to connect hydraulic hoses and pipes to pumps, valves, hydraulic cylinders and other parts of the hydraulic system. Amongst our extensive range, you will find Male x Male 90° Compact connections of various sizes which conform to a range of system specifications. 

90-degree or 45-degree adaptors, also known as Elbow adaptors, are sturdy fittings utilized for connecting components to enable a change in direction. Additionally, they come in jump sizes and are commonly employed to facilitate seamless movement in confined areas and around obstacles.

Components of Adaptors

Main Body: The main body serves as the foundation of the adaptor. While standard adaptors come in fixed dimensions, they can also be customized to fit the specific components you need to connect. Whether you are linking a hose to a tube or connecting two tubes, the main body adjusts seamlessly to accommodate these components.

Threads: The spiral ridges on the adaptor's threads, once twisted into position, guarantee a secure lock for the adaptor. This prevents any wobbling or accidental detachment, even under pressure.

Sealing Surface: This adaptors features a safety guard that ensures no leaks occur by creating a secure seal when attached to another component. The sealing surface plays a crucial role in upholding a high-performance system that is free from leaks.

The Difference Between Hose Fittings and Adaptors?

When dealing with hydraulic systems, you will come across different types of fittings, with hose fittings and adaptors being among the most common. Despite appearing similar, they each have distinct functions.

Hose Fittings

In simple terms, hose couplings have a singular function: linking hoses together. These fittings are designed for connecting hoses to each other or to machines, serving the purpose of either extending hose length or facilitating hose-machine connections. Typically, they are tailored to specific hose sizes and types, making them less adaptable in general.

Adaptors

Adaptors, on the contrary, play a versatile role in the realm of connectors. They can link various components like fitting to fitting, hose to tube, or tube to tube. The design of adaptors allows for more versatility, making them invaluable in complex hydraulic systems.
