What Are Hydraulic Adapters?

Hydraulic systems power a wide range of machinery. Hydraulic Adapter are critical components that ensure fluid transfer under extreme pressure.

Understanding Hydraulic Adapters

Wayfong's hydraulic adapters are specialized fittings used to connect components within hydraulic systems. Their primary function is to ensure a secure, high-integrity seal. Without the right connector, the system cannot operate safely and efficiently.


Why are hydraulic fittings important?

Connectivity: Wayfong hydraulic fittings connect components with different port sizes, thread types, or connection standards.

Directional Change: Elbows and T-fittings allow hoses and tubing to be routed around obstacles, reducing strain and optimizing space.

Sealing: These products utilize a specialized sealing method to prevent leaks under pressure.

System Integrity: Selecting and installing the correct fitting is crucial to maintaining system pressure and flow characteristics.

Common Hydraulic Fitting Types

Straight Fittings: Connect components in a straight line. We use these for size or thread conversion.

Elbow Fittings: Change the direction of fluid flow to pass through narrow spaces or obstructions.

Tee Fittings: Create branch connections, allowing fluid to flow in two directions from a single source.

Cross Fittings: Create a four-way intersection in a hydraulic circuit.

Bulkhead Fittings: Designed primarily for passing through panels, walls, or reservoirs, providing connection points on both sides.

Swivel Fittings: Allow connected components to rotate independently, reducing kinking and stress on hoses.
