Male x Male 90° Compact

Male x Male 90°Compact Hydraulic Adaptors

Hydraulic adaptors connect hydraulic hoses and pipes to pumps, valves, hydraulic cylinders and other parts of the hydraulic system. In our wide selection, you will find Male x Male 90°Compact connections in different sizes. These connections meet various system specifications. 

90-degree or 45-degree adaptors, also called Elbow adaptors, are sturdy fittings utilised for connecting components to enable a change in direction. They also come in different jump sizes and commonly employed to facilitate seamless movement in confined areas and around obstacles.

Components of Adaptors

Main Body: The main body serves as the foundation of the adaptor. Standard adaptors come in fixed dimensions, but they can also be customised to fit specific components. Whether you are linking a hose to a tube or connecting two tubes, the main body adjusts seamlessly to accommodate these components.

Threads: These are spiral ridges on the adaptor's threads and once twisted into position, they guarantee a secure lock for the adaptor. This prevents any wobbling or accidental detachment, even when under pressure.

Sealing Surface: Our adaptors feature a safety guard that ensures no leaks occur by creating a secure seal when attached to other components. Sealing a surface plays a crucial role in upholding a high-performance system that is free from leaks.

What is the Difference Between Hose Fittings & Adaptors?

When dealing with hydraulic systems, you will come across different types of fittings, with hose fittings and adaptors being among the most common. Despite appearing similar, they each both serve distinct functions.

Hose Fittings

Hose couplings have a singular function: linking hoses together. These fittings are designed for connecting hoses to each other or to machines, serving the purpose of either extending hose length or facilitating hose-machine connections. Typically, they are tailored to specific hose sizes and types, making them less adaptable in general.

Adaptors

Adaptors play a versatile role in the realm of connectors. They link various components together, like fitting to fitting, hose to tube, or tube to tube. The design of adaptors allows for more versatility, making them invaluable in complex hydraulic systems.
