Whale cylindrical fitting for 12 mm flexible hose – code: 17.815.84 – Osculati

Whale cylindrical fitting for 12 mm flexible tubing (Osculati)

The Whale cylindrical fitting for 12 mm flexible hose (supplier code 17.815.84, distribution Osculatiis a component designed for those who need to create or restore connections on lines with flexible hose in the nautical and onboard plant engineering field. The cylindrical shape and essential design make it suitable for maintenance, replacement, or integration of plant sections, when a fitting dedicated to flexible pipes of the indicated diameter is needed.

In a context where plant order, accessibility, and connection consistency are important, choosing a specific fitting for flexible tubing helps maintain a clean and easily manageable configuration over time. This item is uniquely identified by the code 17.815.84, useful for reorders, bill of materials, and spare parts management.

Product features and details

Type and geometry

It is a cylindrical fitting of the Whale line, intended for connection with flexible hose. The cylindrical geometry is a common solution when a compact and linear element is desired, suitable for installations where space is limited or where a hose path without direction changes is preferred.

Supported hose diameter

The fitting is suitable for 12 mm flexible hose. When choosing, it is important to verify that the diameter of the hose in use matches the expected one, so as to maintain consistency with the existing system and simplify any replacements.

Identification and supply

• Supplier: Osculati S.r.l.
• Supplier product code: 17.815.84
• Line/brand: Whale

The reference to the code is particularly useful for those managing spare parts onboard, scheduled maintenance, or repetitive purchases: it helps reduce ambiguity and speed up procurement.

Typical applications in nautical and plant engineering

This fitting is commonly used in contexts where flexible piping are present and where an orderly and consistent connection with the indicated diameter is desired. In the nautical field, fittings for flexible hoses find use in many areas of onboard systems, especially when performing:

• routine maintenance on existing lines with flexible hose;
• replacement of a worn or no longer suitable fitting;
• restoration of a connection after disassembly or work in technical compartments;
• and for of a section of flexible hose in an already existing system.

Choosing a fitting dedicated to the hose diameter helps maintain uniformity in the line and simplify spare parts management, especially when the boat or system has multiple diameters and multiple connection points.

Operational advantages

Simple selection thanks to the declared diameter

The explicit reference to the 12 mm allows faster component selection, reducing the risk of errors when working on systems with similar but not identical pipes. During reorder or material preparation, diameter is often the first selection criterion.

Unique code for spare parts management

The code 17.815.84 is a practical element for those managing inventory, maintenance, or technical documentation: it allows immediate product identification and aligns the purchase with the already installed component, when the same configuration is to be maintained.

Solution suitable for maintenance interventions

A cylindrical fitting for flexible hose is often chosen for targeted interventions, where it is necessary to restore a connection without modifying the general system setup. In these cases, having a component consistent in type and diameter helps work more linearly and reduce variables during installation.

Usage and installation notes

Preliminary checks

• Diameter check: make sure that the flexible hose is actually 12 mm.
• Tube inspection: check that the tube end is in good condition (clean cut and regular section), to facilitate coupling.
• Consistency with the system: assess the bulk and path of the tube, especially in technical compartments or areas with limited access.

General good practices

In the absence of specific indications on the intended fastening system, it is good practice to adopt the installation methods commonly used for fittings on flexible tubes, choosing accessories and methods consistent with your own system and usual maintenance procedures. If the application requires particular requirements, it is advisable to refer to the technical documentation of the system in use or to the supplier's support.

When to replace a fitting

During onboard maintenance, it can be useful to replace a fitting when working on a line that has already been disassembled, when a component is no longer suitable for the system setup, or when you want to restore an orderly and consistent configuration. In these cases, maintaining the same diameter and a certain reference (such as the product code) helps reduce time and uncertainties.
