Hose fittings are essential components used to connect hoses to equipment, adapt hoses to different configurations, and ensure a secure and leak-free connection in various applications. These fittings come in diverse shapes, sizes, and materials, catering to the needs of different types of hoses and operating conditions. Common types include couplings, adapters, nipples, elbows, reducers, caps, plugs, and clamps. Couplings enable hose-to-hose or hose-to-equipment connections, while adapters facilitate compatibility between different connection types.
