How to Select Brass Adapter Fittings?

It would be an advantage if you have a knowledge of the difference between the various equipment and the variations in the hydraulic equipment. Hydraulic hoses are needed for mobile and fixed machinery for applications of fluid power at high pressure. The hydraulic hoses that match perfectly with their hose ends usually provide improved performance. The brass adapter fittings are generally attached to hydraulic applications in which low to medium applications exist.

Brass pipe fittings are used for mating with pipe thread and sealing with a taper. Brass compression fitting adapters are quite versatile and they can be put to use with various types of tubing materials such as aluminum, copper, plastic and others.

Hydraulic applications in which brass adapter fittings are used include instrumentation controls, applications that involve water; fuels, greases, refrigeration fluids, LP and natural gas are suited for these brass fittings.

Some of the variants of brass adapter fittings include pipe thread, SAE 45 degree, brass compression and others. Each of these has different uses. For example SAE 45 needs to be used for creating a mechanical seal between the male and female adapters. They find use in medium pressure applications which include refrigeration, fuels and pneumatics.
