Hydraulic Hose Fittings: The Key to Reliable Connections
Hydraulic Hose Fittings: The Key to Reliable Connections
Reliability, durability and tightness are among the most critical elements in hydraulic systems. At this point, hydraulic hose fittings act as a bridge between the hose and fittings, ensuring the safe operation of the system.
What is a Hydraulic Hose Gland?
Hose fittings are elements that are mounted at the ends of hydraulic hoses and make them compatible with different types of connections. These parts are; It is produced to be pressure-resistant, long-lasting and impermeable.
As Hidroman,we offer fitting solutions suitable for EN 853, EN 856, EN 857 hose types with our wide range of products produced in accordance with industry standards and international norms.
Advantages of Hydraulic Fittings

Sealing Guarantee: Long-term leak-free connections are achieved with correct installation.
Wide Product Range: Solutions suitable for every need with straight, cantilever, BSP, JIC, ORFS, METRIC and NPT connection options.
Corrosion Resistance: Long-lasting use with zinc plated or stainless steel options.
Uses
Industrial machinery
Mobile hydraulic systems
Agricultural machinery
Construction and mining equipment
Hydraulic hose fittings are produced in a wide variety of types according to different connection standards, angles and areas of use. This diversity is determined according to criteria such as tightness, compressive strength and ease of installation required by the system.
Below you can find the most common types of hydraulic hose fittings:
Types of fittings according to connection standards
BSP (British Standard Pipe)
There are BSPP (Parallel) and BSPT (Conical) thread options.
It is widely used in Europe and Turkey.
JIC (Joint Industry Council – 37° flare)
It is the US standard and is preferred in high pressure systems.
Thanks to its 37° conical surface, it provides reliable sealing.
ORFS (O-Ring Face Seal)
It offers superior sealing with its flat surface design with O-ring.
It is preferred in pulsed and vibrating systems.
METRIC FITTINGS
It complies with the DIN 2353 standard.
It is a common, reliable connection option in Europe.
NPT (National Pipe Taper)
Thanks to its conical tooth structure, it provides mechanical sealing.
It is often used in American systems.
Types of fittings according to the angle
Straight Gland
It is the most common type. It provides a straight connection between the hose and the equipment.
45° Cantilever Gland
It is used in confined spaces and where the hose needs to be connected in a curved way.
90° Cantilever Gland
Ideal for sharp turns. It provides ease of installation.
Special Angle Fittings (15°, 30°, 60°, etc.)
It is specially designed according to the needs.
Types of fittings by material
Carbon Steel Fittings → Most widely used, resistant to high pressure.
Stainless Steel Fittings → Corrosion resistant, preferred in the marine and food industry.
Brass Fittings → Used in low pressure and special applications.
Types of fittings according to the type of sealing
Fittings with tapered surface (e.g. JIC 37°)
O-ringli rakorlar (ORFS, DIN 2353)
Konik dişli rakorlar (BSPT, NPT)
Flat surface washer fittings
Hydraulic hose fittings types vary according to the pressure values of the system used, connection standards and installation needs. Choosing the right fittings is critical for both safety and efficiency.
Hidroman offers hydraulic hose fitting solutions in all standards including BSP, JIC, ORFS, METRIC and NPT .
