Practical guides for specifying and ordering hydraulic hose assemblies.

• What to send us for a hose assembly quotation

  A checklist: with these details we can quote in one round, without back-and-forth e-mails.

• SAE 100R2AT and EN 853 2SN hydraulic hose

  Both are two-wire braided hoses for medium to high pressure. What the names mean and what to check on the datasheet.

• How to identify hydraulic threads: JIC, ORFS, BSP, Metric and NPT

  The sealing seat tells you most of what you need. A short guide to the five fitting types we are asked about most.

• Orientation angle of a hose assembly with two elbows

  When both ends are elbows, the angle between them must be specified, or the hose will be twisted when installed.

• How to measure a hydraulic hose assembly

  Overall length, elbow fittings and tolerances: what to measure before you order a replacement hose.
