PU hoses have various connection methods, making them suitable for different applications.
The snap - on connection is the most common one. It secures the hose to the connector using a dedicated clip. This method is easy to use, requires no special tools, and is ideal for low - pressure environments, such as connecting pipes in pneumatic equipment.
The threaded connection is also widely used. The hose connector has external threads, while the corresponding connector has internal threads, and they are tightened by twisting. It offers good sealing performance and can withstand a certain amount of pressure, so it is commonly employed in liquid pipelines.
There is also the plug - in connection. This involves directly inserting the PU hose onto the connector's spigot and then tightening it with a hose clamp. This method allows for quick installation and is suitable for hoses with larger diameters, such as when connecting industrial ventilation ducts.
In addition, the quick - connect connection uses a spring - loaded clip inside the connector to secure the PU hose. It is easy to insert and remove, making it suitable for applications that require frequent disassembly, like temporary connections for pneumatic tools.
When choosing a connection method, consider factors such as the pressure level, the type of medium, and whether frequent disassembly and assembly will be necessary.
