Note on measurements

The indications 1/4" x 8 are reported as per title and article coding. For correct fitting selection, it is good practice to verify correspondence with the hose and the thread/connection intended in your plant.

Typical applications (nautical and plant engineering)

This hose connector is suitable for applications where a connection must be made or restored between a line with flexible hose and a part with threaded connection, in the field:

• Onboard systems: maintenance and fitting replacement interventions in technical compartments.
• Hydraulics and fittings: integration into service lines and auxiliary circuits where the use of flexible hoses is foreseen.
• Workshop and maintenanceRepairs and adaptations on existing systems, when a hose fitting with a hexagonal body is needed.

The choice of the correct fitting always depends on the type of tube, the intended tightening method (e.g., clamp or other suitable system), and compatibility with the rest of the system.

Operational advantages

• Easy grip: the hexagonal shape helps in assembly and disassembly operations with common tools.
• Simple integration: practical solution for connecting flexible tubes to threaded connections, useful in maintenance.
• Traditional material for fittings: the’yellow brass is widely used in hydraulic components and systems.
• Clear identification: code 1057B*8 and size 1/4" x 8 help manage reorders and replacements.

Usage and installation notes

For correct assembly of the hose fitting, it is recommended to operate carefully and according to the procedures provided by your system:

• Preliminary check: check that the measurement 1/4" x 8 be consistent with the tube and connection to be made.
• Tube preparation: clean cut and complete insertion on the hose fitting, avoiding folds or abnormal tensions.
• Tightening: use a fixing system suitable for the tube (for example, an appropriate clamp) and tighten evenly.
• Assembly on the threaded side: tighten the fitting with the appropriate tool using the hex bar, avoiding forcing.
• Final check: after installation, check the seal and absence of leaks according to the circuit testing procedures.

Note: the choice of any sealants, gaskets, or sealing methods depends on the type of connection and system specifications. In case of doubt, it is advisable to refer to the installer technician's instructions or internal maintenance procedures.
