In the same way that people don’t often consider their power and electricity until they are not functioning correctly, beaded inserts are easy to keep out of mind, but vital for securely attaching hoses to equipment or piping. Created on-site at our manufacturing facility in Two Rivers, WI, our fittings are compatible with many types of tubes.
Beaded hose fittings are typically used with hose clamps that are attached directly in front of the beads. The beads provide physical barriers that prevent hoses from slipping off fittings when under pressure, and thus the beads ensure leak-free hose-to-coupling connections.
The outside diameter of a beaded insert should be approximately the same as the inside diameter of the mating hose. Selecting the correct fitting is important: a fitting that is too small can create issues like leaks and loss of power, while a fitting that is too large can result in tube deformation.
You may see beaded hose fittings used in automotive or plumbing applications, as well as in industrial settings, such as in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. They are valued because they can be relied upon to maintain secure connections under pressure and temperature extremes.
When you need to transfer fluids and gases safely and efficiently, consider our beaded inserts as a ‘secret weapon’ to get the job done. Let’s get the process started today!
