<p>Hydraulic hose assemblies consist of a hydraulic hose with fittings at the end, ready to be installed into a hydraulic system. Hydraulic hose assemblies&nbsp;feature a flexible hose that is used to transport fluid from one component to another within a hydraulic mechanism or machine. The pre-installed&nbsp;connectors make assemblies ideal for easy integration into your system.</p><p>The hydraulic hose is usually made from a flexible rubber or wire, while the hose fittings are often made from a corrosion-resistant metal, such as stainless steel. Hydraulic hoses are often used in high-pressure environments so are required to be flexible and strong.</p><h2>What are hydraulic hoses made from?</h2><p>Hydraulic hoses are made up from several layers to help to remain flexible but are reinforced for strength. The hoses tend to be made of three layers,</p><ul><li>Inner tube - this is the internal part of the hose. It needs to be compatible with the type of fluid that it will be transferring, so as to avoid corrosion.</li><li>Reinforcement &ndash; this is a layer that surrounds the inner tube; made from wire which is either coiled or braided. This both supports and protects the inner tube</li><li>Outer Layer- The outer layer of the hydraulic hose is made of rigid materials which keep the internal contents safe and avoids the elements having any effect on the workings</li></ul><h2>What to consider when choosing a hydraulic hose assembly:</h2><ul><li>Fittings/couplings</li><li>Diameter</li><li>Materials</li><li>Operating temperature</li><li>Pressure</li></ul><h2>Fitting Types:</h2><p>It is important to choose a hose assembly which features a fitting/coupling that is compatible with where you wish to install it. This is usually a threaded connection, such as a G 1/4 or a G 3/8 female connector.</p>
