What is Hydraulic Hose Assembly?

A hydraulic hose assembly is when the hose pipe is attached with fittings on the ends, which enables it to connect with machines and systems. It then helps transfer media/fluid from one end of the hose pipe to another.
From our years of experience we know that it is not possible to have a definite guide for a hydraulic hose assembly. This is due to the complexities involved which at times, have more to do with the environment of use.

This is due to the complexities involved which at times, have more to do with the environment of use.

Therefore, we can say that the hydraulic hose assembly depends on the external and internal
conditions.

However, there are few things which remain common in most of the assemblies.

complete step-by-step hydraulic hose assembly guide

Step 1 : Gather Tools & Materials Required
It is always better to have all the required things in one place, or close by. This helps reduce time and wastes. These are some
of the things that you usually need,
Hydraulic Hose
• Hose Fittings
• Lubricants
• Safety Gear
• Crimping Machine
• Caliper
• Marker / Chalk
• Crimping Die Sets and Collar
• Measuring Tape
Step 2 : Measure & Cut the Hose
• After you have the tools and materials ready, you need to get the hydraulic hoses into the specific required lengths.
• Measure the hose and mark the specific lengths that you need on it. After that, you can cut the hydraulic hose on the
specific marks using a saw or a hose cutting machine. Make sure the ends of the specific cut outs are clean, smooth and
even. If it is not so, use a file and clean the edges to make it even, this reduces hose assembly failures.
• Do note, safety is of key importance, take utmost care during this process. It is important you hold the hose properly or
tighten it in the cutting machine so that it does not bounce due to friction. A number of times, these precautions are
ignored and leads to injuries.

Step 3 : Hose Dressing
• This is the time to complete the hose dressings if any. After this it will not be possible as we will seal the ends.
• This is completely application specific, sometimes spring guard, additional braiding is required to prevent the hose from
external environmental damages. These help to increase the working life of the hydraulic hose.
Step 4 : End Fitting Series
• Select the end fitting series that you need to assemble with the hose. This helps the hose to connect with the machines or
the systems where it is going to be applied.
• You can choose the end fittings from our wide range of options. Any sort of end fitting you need, we have it covered. If you
need custom made fittings, do not hesitate and send us an email.
• End fittings can be really complex. It depends on the machines in-out port / point of application. You have to match the
specifications for a perfect operation. You need to consider attachment method, orientation, working pressure and
material for corrosion resistance.
• After you have done that, it is important you place the right hose with the right set of fittings. If you make an error here, it
can cost you the entire assembly.
Step 5 : Attach the Fittings with Hose
• Attach the fittings on the hose ends and prepare it for crimping. You need to place the hose cap and insert the fitting in the
hose. Keep in mind the insertion depth and it should have a firm hold inside before you crimp.
Step 6 : Crimping
• Once everything is verified, you are now ready to crimp the hose. We recommend running a check before crimping as it
can save a lot of trouble. Wrong fittings, incomplete hose dressings are easy to deal before crimping.
• Prepare the crimping machine by placing the right set of dies and adjusting the crimping settings. After that, push the hose
end into the crimping machine (usually bottom loading) through the die. The hose cap or collar needs to be crimped so
hold the fitting accordingly.
• Put on your safety gear and turn on the machine. Push the button and the machine will compress the collar on the hose to
hold the fittings as tightly as possibly. Do not the touch machine
