Metric Hose Fittings are a type of hose fitting specifically designed to connect hoses and pipes with metric-sized ends. They are commonly used in hydraulic systems and other high-pressure fluid applications.
Metric Hose Fittings differ from other types of hose fittings, such as Imperial or British Standard Pipe (BSP) fittings, in that they have metric-sized threads and are designed to fit metric-sized hoses and pipes. This means that they are not compatible with hoses or pipes that have different thread sizes or standards.
Metric Hose Fittings typically have a cone-shaped end that fits into the hose or pipe, with a threaded collar that screws onto the end to secure the fitting in place. The collar may have a flat face or an O-ring seal to ensure a tight, leak-free connection.
