Hydraulic Compression Fittings

Hydraulic Compression Fittings

Flowfit supplies a wide range of hydraulic compression fittings for industrial, agricultural, construction, commercial and mobile hydraulic systems. These fittings are designed to create secure connections between hydraulic pipework, tubing and compatible hydraulic components.

Also known as hydraulic tube fittings, compression adaptors or hydraulic pipe compression fittings, they are commonly used where a strong, leak-resistant mechanical connection is required without welding or specialist installation tools.

Secure Connections for Hydraulic Tube and Pipework

Hydraulic compression fittings are used to grip and seal hydraulic tube or pipework within a system. When correctly selected and fitted, they help provide a reliable connection that supports consistent oil flow and hydraulic pressure.

They are suitable for hydraulic circuits used for lifting, tipping, steering, pressing, powering and controlling machinery across a wide range of applications.

How Hydraulic Compression Fittings Work

A typical compression fitting uses a three-part design made up of a fitting body, a nut and a compression ferrule or ring. Some designs may include two ferrules for added grip and sealing support.

As the nut is tightened, the ferrule compresses onto the tube and creates a tight seal between the tube and fitting body. This metal-to-metal connection helps provide long-lasting durability and dependable leak-resistant performance.

• Three-part design with body, nut and compression ferrule
• Creates a strong compression seal around the tube
• Metal-to-metal contact supports durability and secure fitment
• Can be installed using standard wrenches
• Quick assembly helps reduce installation time during repairs and servicing

Compression Fittings for Hydraulic Systems

Compression fittings are a practical choice for connecting hydraulic tubing, pipework, valves, manifolds, pumps and other components. They are useful for new installations, repairs, servicing and system modifications.

Common Applications

Hydraulic compression fittings are used across many hydraulic systems where pipework or tubing needs to be connected securely and reliably.

• Agricultural machinery: tractors, loaders, trailers, attachments and farm equipment.
• Construction and plant equipment: excavators, dumpers, loaders and lifting equipment.
• Industrial hydraulics: power packs, presses, manifolds, production machinery and test rigs.
• Mobile hydraulic systems: vehicle-mounted equipment, trailers and recovery vehicles.
• Hydraulic servicing: replacing fittings, repairing pipework and adapting hydraulic circuits.

Built for Reliable Hydraulic Performance

Flowfit hydraulic compression fittings are selected for strength, durability and dependable performance in demanding working environments. When correctly installed, they help reduce the risk of leaks, pressure loss and unnecessary downtime.

Using the correct compression fitting can help keep your hydraulic system secure, efficient and suitable for everyday use in tough operating conditions.

Choosing the Right Hydraulic Compression Fitting

When selecting a hydraulic compression fitting, it is important to check the tube outside diameter, thread type, thread size, sealing method, pressure rating, material and compatibility with your hydraulic system.

If you are replacing an existing fitting, checking the current fitting size, tube size and connection type is a good starting point. If you are unsure, our team can help you identify the correct hydraulic compression fitting for your application.
