Hose couplings
Line of more than 1500 hose coupling types complies with RoHS standard. They are finished with RoHS compliant trivalent Chromium-6 Free process and exceed industry SAE standard by withstanding more than 400 hours of salt spray testing. They
have a maximum working pressure of 6000 psi and are designed for all hydraulic
applications with connections for handling higher pressures. Configurations and
sizes include metric hose couplings, R2 reusable couplings, Teflon, R5 and beadlock couplings, couplings with API threads, and CAT flanges.
