Special attention must be given to hose assemblies. The two preparation options to choose from are skiving or non-skiving a hydraulic hose.

SKIVING Skiving a hydraulic hose is the process of using special equipment and tooling to shave a predetermined depth of the OD and ID of the hose. Some medium pressure hose fittings require only external skiving (or single skive) in order for the ferrule and hose fitting to mate correctly.

A hydraulic system’s design needs to focus on the required working pressure of the application. To do so, the working pressure of the components must coincide with the system requirements. The components for the system are then selected to ensure safe and acceptable service life.

There are a number of factors to consider when selecting hydraulic hose fitting types, including the compatibility of the fitting to the hose, one or two piece design and the correct assembly.

Brennan's brass push-to-connect fittings allow you to quickly and easily connect a push-on hose to a variety of threaded connections, without using clamps or ferrules. Available in sizes for 1/4" to 1" hose. We offer adapters for NPT, JIC and SAE threads as well as hose-to-hose adapters. If you need custom push to connect fittings, our engineered solutions team will create and manufacture something tailored to your specific needs. Brennan makes things happen!
