Hydraulic Fittings

Frequently asked questions — Hydraulic Connectors

• How do I choose between the various hydraulic fittings brands on offer?

  The choice between solutions developed by manufacturers such as GATES HYDRAULIQUE, PARKER, DANFOSS, VOSS, STAUFF, EXMAR, FASTER and CIR depends on several technical factors. It is necessary to assess the nature of the fluid used, the service temperature conditions and the specific mechanical constraints applied to the connection. Material compatibility and the required service pressures are also decisive in ensuring the reliability of the installation within your industrial environment.
• Which standards must be complied with for the design of installations?

  The design of hydraulic installations must imperatively comply with the standardised graphic symbols as set out in the ISO 1219 standard. Furthermore, for the integration of mounting interfaces for hydraulic directional control valves, it is necessary to comply with the technical specifications of the ISO 4401 standard. Strict adherence to these technical standards is essential to guarantee the interoperability of components within complex systems.
• What are the key factors for preventing connection failures?

  To effectively prevent connection failures, it is imperative to exercise great rigour in identifying thread profiles. It is also necessary to scrupulously comply with the assembly methods recommended by manufacturers for each type of component. Compliance with these technical procedures ensures the longevity and leak-tightness of connections within industrial infrastructures.
• What are the main elements making up the hydraulic fittings category?

  This technical category brings together several product typologies intended for industrial infrastructures. It includes hydraulic accessories, adapters, crimp ferrules as well as specialised crimping equipment. You will also find hydraulic filtration solutions, various hydraulic components and washing accessories required for specific maintenance environments. Each sub-family contributes to the precise structuring of hydraulic architectures to meet the technical requirements of your destination circuit.
