Hydraulic hose fitting components manufactured to customer drawings for crimped hose assemblies used in mobile machinery, industrial equipment and OEM fluid-power systems.
A hydraulic hose fitting is one component of a complete hose assembly. The hose, insert or stem, ferrule, retention geometry and crimp data must be confirmed as a compatible system; JIC, ORFS, BSP, NPT and metric equipment-side ends each use a separate sealing principle. This fitting page cannot define assembly pressure, temperature, bend radius or service life. Straight, 45° and 90° bodies, swivel nuts, one-piece or two-piece arrangements and different equipment ends can be machined to approved drawings. Wei Xing Machinery manufactures fitting components to those drawings and does not imply that an arbitrary hose-and-fitting combination has passed assembly validation.
We manufacture custom hydraulic hose ends, stems, inserts and crimp ferrules to drawing-defined geometry. Reviews separate the hose-side retention system from the equipment-side connection and address material, finishing, inspection and production requirements.
Geometry may be reviewed against SAE J516, the applicable ISO 12151 series, or assembly guidance such as ISO/TS 17165-2 only when the approved drawing or order specifies it. Production follows the stated standard name and revision rather than a general website claim.
| Product Type | Drawing-specific hydraulic hose fitting components that form part of a complete hose assembly. |
|---|---|
| Hose-Side Function | The hose, stem or insert, ferrule or socket, insertion and approved crimp structure work together for retention and sealing. |
| Equipment-Side Connection | JIC, ORFS, BSPP, BSPT, NPT, metric, flange or drawing-specific ends; sealing is confirmed independently. |
| Assembly Configuration | One-piece or two-piece systems; the arrangement does not automatically establish a performance level. |
| Hose Compatibility Basis | Exact hose series, construction, dimensions, cover, stem, ferrule and preparation method reviewed as one system. |
| Crimp Data Basis | Approved drawing, validated hose-and-fitting data, customer assembly specification or agreed validation plan; this page gives no general settings. |
| Body / Stem Materials | Carbon steel, stainless steel or other drawing-specified materials after media and application review. |
| Ferrule Materials | Drawing-specified steel or stainless steel; alternatives require hose-system and manufacturing review. |
| Surface Finish | Drawing- and material-specific coordinated finishing. |
| Manufacturing Basis | Approved 2D drawing, 3D model, dimensionally verified sample or order requirement. |
| Inspection Basis | Approved drawing and agreed sampling, full-inspection, documentation and test plan. |
| Pressure / Validation Basis | No category-wide rating. Complete assembly performance follows compatible parts, approved assembly data and validation requirements. |
| Applications | Mobile machinery, industrial equipment and OEM flexible hydraulic lines after system review. |
Confirm tube, reinforcement, inside and outside dimensions, cover and intended service.
Use the profile specified for the approved hose and fitting system.
Match its construction and identification to the stem and hose.
Follow the defined cut, skive or no-skive method, cleanliness and insertion reference.
Use qualified tooling, equipment condition, position, length and measurement procedure.
Confirm standard, size, sex, sealing location, mate and assembly requirement.
Apply the agreed dimensional, assembly and testing plan.
Avoid twist, abrasion, tension and sharp bends near the fitting; follow the hose routing specification.
Correct dimensions on one part do not qualify a complete hose assembly. Capability requires compatible components, approved assembly data, controlled equipment, inspection, specified testing and correct final installation.
The insert enters the hose bore; the ferrule or socket is positioned outside the hose or as otherwise specified. The approved crimp process makes the specified components act together. Hose tube, reinforcement and cover construction therefore affect stem and ferrule design.
Under-crimping or over-crimping can damage the hose, reinforcement, stem or ferrule. Incomplete insertion can reduce retention and sealing reliability; incorrect skiving can damage reinforcement, while burrs or sharp edges can harm the hose tube.
Skive or no-skive preparation is defined by the hose construction, fitting system, stem, ferrule, crimp specification and approved drawing—not selected at operator discretion.
| Equipment-Side End | Primary Sealing Location | Assembly Function | Information to Confirm |
|---|---|---|---|
| JIC 37° | 37° metal flare faces | Straight thread supplies clamping force. | Standard, size, sex, flare condition, mating end and torque procedure. |
| ORFS | O-ring against a flat face | Straight thread supplies assembly force. | Size, sex, O-ring material, groove, face and mate. |
| BSPP | Depends on end and port design | Parallel thread retains the specified sealing arrangement. | Seat, bonded seal, O-ring or other drawing-defined location. |
| BSPT | Taper-thread engagement with applicable sealant | Thread engagement provides the joint. | Thread designation, engagement, compatible sealant and port. |
| NPT | Taper-thread engagement with compatible sealant | Thread engagement provides the joint. | Designation, engagement, sealant, port and installation procedure. |
| Metric or drawing-specific | As defined by the approved drawing | Supports the specified mating interface. | Standard, revision, size, sex, seal, mate and assembly requirement. |
The hose-side crimp structure and the equipment-side sealing interface perform different functions and must be reviewed separately.
| Feature | One-Piece Configuration | Two-Piece Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Component arrangement | Ferrule is retained, preassembled or combined with the body for the product series. | Stem and ferrule are separately selected and assembled. |
| Ferrule handling | Reduced separate handling, but identification and inspection remain required. | Separate identification and pairing are required. |
| Hose-series dependence | Must match its approved hose series. | Each stem and ferrule must match the approved hose series. |
| Assembly tooling | Uses system-approved dies, crimper and procedure. | Uses system-approved dies, crimper and procedure. |
| Inventory identification | Identify the complete fitting series and revision. | Control stem and ferrule identities separately. |
| Validation requirement | Preassembly does not remove inspection or validation. | Complete selected combination requires validation. |
| Selection consideration | Neither arrangement is a universal high or low grade, and pressure cannot be chosen from the label alone. Do not mix stems and ferrules from different series. | |
Confirm hose manufacturer or approved specification, series, nominal size, outside diameter, stem series, ferrule series and equipment-side end.
Confirm cut quality, specified skive or no-skive method, cleanliness, insertion depth and alignment.
Confirm approved specification, die set, calibrated crimper condition, tooling condition, method, operator procedure, measurement method, position and length.
Check final dimensions, insertion reference, ferrule condition, exposed reinforcement, hose damage, twist, elbow clocking, cleanliness, thread and sealing surface.
Crimp outside diameter is not the only assembly parameter. This page does not provide machine settings; values must come from approved drawings, validated system data, customer procedures or an agreed validation plan.
Available configurations depend on drawing review, hose-system requirements, material, tooling and production requirements; this list does not imply stock availability. Swivel nuts primarily help alignment during installation and are not dynamic rotary joints. Angled ends require drawing-defined reference planes, relative clocking, assembly length, sealing-point length and clearance—never correct orientation by twisting the hose.
| Connection / Product Type | Flexibility | Retention or Mounting | Fluid Sealing | Selection Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crimped hydraulic hose fitting | Part of a flexible hose assembly | Approved hose-side crimp system | Hose-side system and equipment end reviewed separately | Match hose, stem, ferrule, data and routing. |
| Reusable or field-attachable fitting | Part of a flexible assembly when specifically designed | Product-specific attachment | Per approved design | Use only where its design and approved procedure permit; do not treat it as an ordinary crimp fitting. |
| Rigid adapter | No flexible hose section | Threaded or otherwise drawing-defined connection | Interface-specific | Does not include hose-side crimp retention. |
| Bulkhead fitting | Fixed pass-through | Mechanical panel mounting | Each end confirmed separately | Confirm panel, nut, end interfaces and access. |
| Welded tube assembly | Rigid tube or welded construction | Supports and end connections | Weld and end-interface requirements | Does not provide hose flexibility. |
Depending on the approved design, operations can include CNC turning; CNC milling where required; stem, insert, ferrule or socket profile machining; internal and external threads; sealing faces; specified 37° flare seats or noses; specified ORFS faces and grooves; taper threads; swivel-nut components; drawing-defined straight, 45° or 90° bodies; hex flats; drilling; boring; tapping; cross holes; insertion stops; crimp-zone dimensions; deburring; cleaning and dimensional inspection. Not every component uses every operation.
Surface finishing can be coordinated according to material and order requirements.
Carbon steel, stainless steel, or other materials subject to drawing, media and application review.
Drawing-specified steel or stainless steel; other materials require hose-system and manufacturing review.
Options may include trivalent zinc plating, zinc-nickel coating, black oxide, phosphating when applicable, natural stainless finish, and passivation when specified and material-compatible. A finish cannot replace correct material selection, hose compatibility, crimp design or equipment-side seal design.
Proof, leak, burst, impulse, pull-off, retention, dimensional qualification or assembly qualification testing applies only when the approved drawing, order or validation plan specifies it. A metal fitting alone does not establish complete hose-assembly test performance.
For replacement work, verify the original hose, end connections, assembly length, orientation and application conditions; do not copy only the appearance of an old fitting.
“1/2-inch hydraulic hose fitting” alone is not enough for an accurate quotation. At minimum, identify the exact hose series, inside and outside dimensions, reinforcement, preparation, stem and ferrule series, crimp data, equipment end, angle, orientation, material and application.
Crimped hose-end components must not be assumed reusable. Reuse is permitted only when the specific design and approved procedure explicitly allow it; inspect deformation, threads, sealing faces, corrosion, cracks, coating damage and contamination after removal.
A hydraulic hose fitting is a component of a complete flexible hose assembly. Its hose side connects through a specified retention system, while its equipment-side end mates and seals according to the selected interface.
The hose, insert or stem, ferrule or socket, preparation method, insertion depth, crimp parameters and equipment-side connection must be confirmed as one compatible system.
No. Selection also requires the exact hose series, inside and outside diameters, reinforcement construction, skive requirement, stem and ferrule series, and approved crimp data.
A one-piece configuration has a ferrule retained, preassembled or combined with the fitting for its product series. A two-piece configuration uses a separately selected stem and ferrule. Neither establishes a pressure class without system compatibility and validation.
Not by matching size alone. A non-original combination requires technical review, drawing and assembly confirmation, samples, an applicable validation plan, and approval by the customer or system-responsible party.
No. A swivel nut primarily helps connection alignment during installation; it is not a dynamic rotary joint designed for continuous rotation under pressure. Hose twist must still be avoided after installation.
The complete assembly must use mutually compatible components and approved assembly data. Allowable conditions are determined by the validated assembly specification, the limiting component or interface, and the agreed validation requirements—not by a webpage for one metal fitting.
Provide a drawing or verified sample, exact hose specification and dimensions, stem and ferrule details, approved crimp data, equipment-side interface, orientation, material, finish, quantity, operating conditions, and inspection or testing requirements.
Use these guides to identify and compare the equipment-side interface on a hydraulic hose fitting.
Submit the fitting drawing, hose series, hose dimensions, insert and ferrule details, approved crimp data, equipment-side connection, material, quantity and application requirements for manufacturing review and quotation.
