• Material: Hydraulic fittings are typically made from materials such as steel, stainless steel, brass, or aluminum. The material choice depends on factors like the application, pressure rating, temperature range, and compatibility with the hydraulic fluid.

Thread Type: Hydraulic fittings use different thread types for connecting components.

Pressure Rating: Hydraulic fittings have specific pressure ratings that indicate their maximum working pressure. This rating is usually expressed in pounds per square inch (psi) or bar. It’s crucial to select fittings with pressure ratings that exceed the operating pressure of the hydraulic system to ensure safety and reliability.

Size: Hydraulic fittings come in various sizes, typically measured in inches or millimeters. The size refers to the diameter of the fitting and should be compatible with the corresponding hoses, pipes, or tubes used in the system. Common sizes include 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, 3/4″, and 1″ for larger systems.

Connection Type: Hydraulic fittings can have different connection types, such as straight fittings, elbow fittings, tee fittings, or cross fittings. These variations allow for different angles and configurations when connecting components in the hydraulic system.
