Overview of various Coupling and Hose End Types.
Free Endings
Cylindric End
Cylindric ends are recommended for hoses
that have mostly low working pressures.
Enlarged End
Enlarged ends are good for vacuum applications and are suitable for low working pressures.
Vulcanised-in Flanges
Fixed Flange
Fixed flanges are the all-rounder hose connection types. They are recommended for medium pressure resistance.
Swivel (rotatable) Flange
Swivel flanges allow an easy alignment of hose and pipe flange and are good for medium working pressure. Swivel flanges can be an alternative to Vulcanized-in steel nipple couplings.
Vulcanised-in Steel-Nipples
Steel-nipple with Fixed Flange
Steel-nipples with fixed flanges are the most reliable coupling type.
It allows for thick wear liner in the coupling area. This fitting type is strong recommended for floating hoses.
Steel-nipple with Swivel Flange
Steel-nipples with swivel flanges are the ideal design for offshore operations. It allows unrestrained resistance to
pressure and tensile forces.
Special Couplings
Steel-nipple with Conical Flange
Steel-nipples with fixed flanges are the most reliable coupling type.
It allows for thick wear liner in the coupling area. This fitting type is strong recommended for floating hoses.
