Hydraulic fitting name needed.

[Mike Hill]

Hello

 

I don't have a picture of this item,but need to know its name.

 

It is the fitting that connects the flexable hydraulic hose to the ridgid steel pipe that runs into the body of a hydraulic ram.

 

It is about an inch square and is connected to the flexable hydraulic hose by a double male fitting.It is welded to the pipe that goes to the ram body.

 

I will upload photos when I can.

 

Thanks in advance

The generic name for it is a “socket weld coupling”. I play with hydraulics a lot and I haven’t bought one in a god’s age.

 

They are however quire simple to make all you need is an end plug coupling with the appropriate thread in it and drill a socket hole to fit your pipe. Alternatively in the unlikely event that the solid pipe is in good order and not bashed to buggery you could use a compression fitting on it and weld the pipe to the ram further up via an appropriate spacer.
