Fabrication of Hydraulic Hoses

Build your own hydraulic hoses. It is a practical and cost-effective solution. You can create custom replacements on demand. This process requires the right components and knowledge. We will guide you through the basics.

Start with bulk hydraulic hose. This hose uses a special rubber tubing. It is compatible with petroleum products. It also works with water-based fluids. The hose has a strong reinforcement layer. This layer is made from high tensile steel wire. It gives the hose its strength. An outer cover of synthetic rubber adds protection. It resists oil, abrasion, and weather.

Selecting the correct hose is your first step. Our hoses come in many diameters and lengths. They are SAE-rated for quality assurance. These hoses interchange with major brands. You can replace hoses from Weatherhead, Aeroquip, and Parker. This ensures broad compatibility for your equipment.

You will need the right fittings. We offer a full range of braided hose crimp fittings. These attachments connect the hose to your system. They are crucial for a secure, leak-proof connection. Always match the fitting to the hose size and type. This guarantees a perfect fit and optimal performance.

Prepare your tools for assembly. A hydraulic crimping machine is essential. It permanently attaches the fitting to the hose. First, cut the bulk hose to your required length. Use a sharp hose cutter for a clean, straight edge. Next, skive the hose end if necessary. This removes the outer cover to expose the reinforcement layer.

Now you can attach the fitting. Slide the fitting onto the hose end. Ensure it is fully seated. Then, place the assembly into the crimping machine. Select the correct die size for your hose and fitting. Activate the machine to crimp the fitting securely. The result is a professional, high-pressure hose assembly.

Inspect your finished hose carefully. Check for any visible defects. Make sure the crimp is uniform and secure. Your new hose is now ready for service. It will reliably transport hydraulic fluid or water. It maintains high internal pressure during operation. This makes it ideal for powerful hydraulic systems.

Creating your own hoses offers great flexibility. You can make exact lengths for each application. This reduces waste and improves efficiency. Our high-quality materials ensure a long service life. You can rely on these hoses for demanding tasks. They perform well in transferring power from a generator to a nozzle.
