BSP hydraulic hose fittings
The BSP (British Standard Pipe) hose fitting is a common fitting used in hydraulic systems, providing a safe and reliable way to connect hoses and pipes to hydraulic system components such as pumps, cylinders and valves.
It is very important to understand that in a BSP fitting, the thread and the sealing surface are completely different things. A 60 degree cone is used in the BSP hose connector, where the outer and inner threads are sealed. This means that the BSP hose fitting does not need a separate seal to work as long as both fittings are BSP fitting series.
It is good to remember that the same BSP thread can also be used in other fittings with a different sealing surface. This can result in the use of the same BSP threaded fitting in a different fitting configuration resulting in leaks or damaged seals.
That is why it is very important to make sure that the BSP hose connector used is compatible with other connectors used, and that the sealing surface meets the requirements of the system. This helps ensure the efficiency, safety and reliability of the hydraulic system.
BSP hose fittings are available in a variety of sizes and angles, allowing them to be used in a wide variety of hydraulic applications. They are designed to withstand the high pressures and temperatures typical of hydraulic systems.
BSP hose fittings are made of high-quality materials such as brass, steel or stainless steel, so they are very durable and long-lasting. They are also easy to install and remove, saving you time and effort.
One of the most important advantages of BSP hose fittings is their compatibility with other hydraulic system components, as they are commonly used in the hydraulic industry. This means that there are plenty of options, making it easier to choose the right connector for every need.
Overall, the BSP hose connector is an excellent choice for use in hydraulic systems as it offers reliability, safety and ease of use, helping to ensure smooth and efficient operation of the hydraulic system.
