NPT hose connectors
A National Pipe Thread Connection features a tapered 60° thread. Male and female NPT connectors slot together to create a solid seal.
BSPT hose connectors
The British Standard Pipe Thread has a connection angle of 55° but is otherwise very similar to NPT connectors and will fit them, albeit without creating a solid seal.
BSPP hose connectors
The British Standard Parallel Pipe thread features parallel grooves. When combined with a seal ring, a male and female BSPP connector will form a solid seal along the thread. The seal ring is placed between the shoulder of the male connector and the face of the female connector.
Air hose connectors
Air hose connectors provide tight and reliable seals for attaching high-pressure hoses to air pumps, brakes, and breathing tanks.
Water hose connectors
The water or liquid hose is used in both familiar domestic settings like back gardens, as well as a wide variety of commercial and industrial environments, primarily for cooling and cleaning purposes. While a leaking garden hose may not provide too much of a problem, leakage in a factory is potentially dangerous so the connectors used must provide a tight and reliable seal.
Hydraulic hose connectors
Hydraulic hose connectors are fittings designed to connect hoses to various components used within hydraulic systems. This could include valves, cylinders, or pumps. Highly secure, hydraulic hose fittings offer tightly-sealed connections, preventing leakage, maintaining a safe operational level of pressure, and directing the flow of hydraulic fluid within the system.
