1. Overview & Core Function

A Hose Assembly is a fully integrated, ready-to-install unit consisting of a flexible hose permanently attached (crimped) to end fittings. It is designed to create a secure, leak-free connection for conveying fluids, gases, or sometimes solids within a wide range of industrial, mobile, and hydraulic systems. Unlike a simple length of hose, an assembly is a precision-engineered solution that ensures reliability from the moment it is installed.

2. Key Features & Benefits

• Leak-Free Reliability: The permanent crimp connection between the hose and fittings is superior to removable clamps, providing a robust, high-pressure seal that minimizes the risk of leaks and failures.

• Ready for Immediate Installation: Delivered as a complete unit with the correct fittings already attached, saving valuable installation time and eliminating on-site assembly errors.

• Custom-Engineered to Spec: Each assembly is built to order based on your specific requirements for:

  • Length: Precisely measured to your needed cut length.

  • End Fittings: Available in any configuration (e.g., JIC, NPT, ORFS, BSP, SAE flanges) and material (e.g., carbon steel, stainless steel, brass).

  • Hose Type: Selected from a vast inventory to match your application's pressure, temperature, and media compatibility needs.

• Durability & Performance: Constructed with high-quality hose that features:

  • Reinforcement: Multiple layers of high-tensile steel wire braid or spiral wrap for extreme pressure ratings and pulse resistance.

  • Cover: Abrasion-, weather-, ozone-, and oil-resistant outer cover to protect the reinforcement from damage.

  • Tube: A compatible inner tube material (e.g., NBR, EPDM, PTFE, NR) for safe conveyance of specific media.

• Safety & Compliance: Assemblies are manufactured to exceed industry standards (SAE, ISO, EN), and each unit is typically individually tested to 1.5x or 2x its working pressure rating, ensuring operational safety.

• Reduced Inventory Costs: You only need to stock finished assemblies, eliminating the need to inventory separate hoses, fittings, and assembly equipment.

3. How It's Made: The Crimping Process

1. Selection: The correct hose and fittings are selected based on the application's pressure, fluid, and environmental conditions.

2. Cutting: The hose is cut to the precise required length.

3. Skiving: For rubber hoses, the outer cover is often removed (skived) from the end to allow the fitting to seat properly on the reinforcement layer, creating a stronger bond.

4. Crimping: The hose end is inserted into the fitting, and a powerful hydraulic crimping machine deforms the fitting's collar around the hose, creating a permanent, high-integrity connection.

5. Testing: Each assembly is typically subjected to a proof pressure test to verify its integrity before shipment.

4. Target Applications

Hose assemblies are the vital arteries of countless systems:

• Hydraulic Systems: On construction equipment (excavators, bulldozers), agricultural machinery (tractors, combines), and industrial presses.

• Industrial Processing: Transferring fuels, lubricants, chemicals, water, air, and steam.

• Cooling Systems: Radiator and charge air cooler connections in automotive and heavy trucking.

• Pneumatic Systems: For compressed air tools and lines.

• Oil & Gas: For fuel and lube oil lines, and low-pressure applications.

• Machine Tools: For coolant delivery and hydraulic power units.
