Hydraulic Fittings & Adapters
Hydraulic fittings and adapters, sold one at a time
Tens of thousands of fittings on the wall across both Long Island shops. Crimp ends, field attachable ends, elbows, tees, bulkheads, swivels and the adapters that make two incompatible ports talk to each other. No boxes of ten, no minimum order, and no waiting.
Crimp ends

The part people notice first
Anybody can sell you hose. What stops a job is almost never the hose, it is the end that has to go on it, and specifically the one odd end that nobody local carries.
That is what the wall exists for. Tens of thousands of individual fittings sit here across every common standard, in straight, elbow and tee configurations, in carbon steel, stainless and brass, and in the sizes that match the hose on the racks behind them. When the hose and the ends come out of the same building, the crimp specification between them is already known rather than looked up and hoped over.
Everything is sold singly. If one 90 degree swivel elbow is the difference between a machine working this afternoon and sitting until Thursday, that is a normal purchase here and not a minimum order conversation.
If you are not sure which standard you are looking at, do not guess. Bring the old end in and we will identify it, or read through the thread reference on custom hose assembly, which covers how to tell JIC from SAE 45 and BSP from NPT before anything gets turned by hand.
Fitting Families
Six kinds of thing on that wall
Thread standards are one axis. This is the other one: what the fitting physically is and what it does in the assembly.
Crimp hose ends
The fitting and ferrule that get pressed onto the hose on our machines. The standard end for a built assembly, and the strongest of the options. Once crimped it is part of the hose for good.
Field attachable ends
Assembled with tools rather than a crimper, so they come off and go back on. Useful for shops working away from a counter and for obsolete assemblies where the original end has to be reused.
Elbows and bends
Forty five and ninety degree ends that let the hose leave the port at the angle the routing needs. The proper answer to a tight bend, and considerably cheaper than the hose that fails from being forced into one.
Adapters
Male to female, one standard to another, imperial to metric. The pieces that make a pump from one manufacturer connect to a valve from another without redesigning the circuit around it.
Swivels
Let the assembly rotate instead of twisting. A hose installed with a twist in it loses a serious share of its life, so a swivel at the working end is one of the cheapest reliability improvements available.
Tees, crosses and bulkheads
Run tees and branch tees for splitting a circuit, crosses for four way junctions, and bulkhead fittings for passing a line cleanly through a panel or a tank wall with a seal on both sides.
Counter List
Build a list before you drive over
Tap what you need and it stacks up on the right. Copy the list, bring it to the counter or paste it into the contact form. Sizes and thread standards get sorted when you get here.
What We Buy
Brands on the wall
Manufacturers we stand behind
Aeroquip by Danfoss, Adaptall, Tompkins and Alfagomma among others. We buy from manufacturers whose product holds up under pressure, because a fitting that weeps comes back to this counter and not to theirs.
Matching hose and fittings from known manufacturers also means the published crimp specification between them exists. Mixed brands with no specification between them is guesswork, and it is covered on hydraulic hose crimping.
Materials for the environment
Carbon steel for general hydraulic work, stainless where corrosion is the enemy rather than pressure, and brass where the application calls for it. On a boat or anything near salt, stainless ends cost a few dollars more and outlast the alternative by years.
Quick disconnect couplings sit on their own page at hydraulic quick disconnects, and the hose they go on at hydraulic hoses.
Before You Buy
Common questions
Yes. Everything on the wall is sold individually. There is no minimum order and no boxed quantity, which is the whole point of a counter. Plenty of visits here are one adapter long.
The old fitting, or the part it screws into. Thread standards that look identical by eye behave very differently under pressure, and JIC against SAE 45 or BSP against NPT will start threading and then weep. Identifying it takes seconds at the counter and saves the whole trip being wasted.
One adapter is usually fine. A stack of three is a warning sign, because every joint is a potential leak and the extra length changes how the hose sits. Where the ends genuinely do not match, building the assembly with the correct end on each side removes the stack entirely and generally costs less than the adapters would have.
Depends which type. Field attachable and reusable ends are designed to come off and go back on. A permanently crimped ferrule cannot be recrimped, though the fitting body it holds can sometimes be salvaged. On obsolete assemblies that reuse is often the entire reason the job is possible, which is covered on OEM hose assembly replacement.
Yes, in both light and heavy series, plus the imperial to metric adapters that go with them. Imported and European built machinery turns up here constantly, and mixed fleets end up with metric at one end of a line and imperial at the other.
Yes. For shops and fleets we set stocking levels around what you actually consume, and for critical items we hold dedicated inventory on our shelf rather than yours. Ask at either counter or through the contact page.
Find The One
Bring the end that does not fit
Thirty seconds at the counter beats an afternoon of guessing. Walk in with the fitting, or send a photo with something for scale and we will tell you what it is.
