APSOfluid® Fittings
Our comprehensive range of standard fittings produced in brass, steel or stainless steel materials
Hose and fitting - the perfect connection
A fitting is a connecting element between pipes or hoses and apparatuses, devices or machines in a plant. There are innumerable commercially available connections and matching fastenings. In certain areas of application, fittings are standardized to ensure easier interchangeability and a higher level of safety in production. However, our fittings are designed anyway to perfectly match our own hoses and other fasteners. This means that our fittings, like our hoses, meet all the conditions of use such as standards, directives, approvals and certificates. Fittings for hoses also always have a hose nozzle that is designed to fit a specific fastening element such as a hose clamp, compression sleeve, compression fitting or clamping jaw. Fittings for corrugated metal hoses also have a welding end.
Our standard fittings are available in various materials such as brass, nickel-plated brass, bronze, galvanized cast iron, stainless steel and various plastics. In addition to choosing the right material for the fitting, it is also important to consider the appropriate sealing material and its resistance. Furthermore, it is not only important to design a hose line with a suitable fitting, but also the way it is installed in the plant. Of course, in addition to our range of standardized fittings, we can also produce customer-specific fittings according to drawings. Just contact us!

A quick decision guide for finding the right fitting
We divide our standard fittings according to the state of media such as gaseous, liquid and solid, and according to the areas of application:
1) Fittings for simple applications:
• Gaseous media: Torque coupling or conal coupling
• Liquid media (water, sewage water, drinking water): Bayonet, GEKA plus, STORZ couplings, etc.
2) Fittings for chemical, pharma & food industry (for liquid & solid media):
• Food & Pharma: Fittings DIN 11851 & SMS 1145 and TriClamp
• Chemical or general industry: Flange DIN/EN, clamping jaws screw, sleeve screw or shell union connections
3) Fittings for hydraulic hoses:
• Low pressure: SILVERPRESS
• High pressure: Press nipples SAE
• Extremely high pressure: Press nipples 4SH and 4SP
• Other pipe connections, e.g. connection possibilities for plants, machines etc.: Cutting ring couplings with respective pressure ranges
Our fittings also include couplings for a quick assembly and disassembly of hose lines as well as various reduction or expansion adapters for suitable connection dimensions and different thread types.
Hydraulic fittings
The group of hydraulic fitting can be divided into a low pressure range and a high pressure range. All fittings with hose nozzles are designed according to the inner diameters of the respective hydraulic hoses. The fittings for the low pressure range are assembled together with press sleeves, while the fittings for the high pressure range have a safety collar and depending on the pressure level, are assigned with a suitable ferrule. In addition to straight fittings, there are standard fittings with an elbow of 45° or 90°. All fittings are made of galvanized or stainless steel.
Cutting ring fitting
To complement our hydraulic range, we have taken over the complete product range of VOSS with cutting ring fittings, soft seal and flare fittings, pipe forming systems, flange connections and additional accessories. The VOSS 24° DIN pipe fittings according to ISO 8434-1 or DIN 2353 are among the most common connection systems in hydraulics worldwide. Especially in Europe, Asia and South America, this type of pipe connection has established itself due to its many advantages.
The product range includes a light and a heavy series (L and S), which differ in different pressure levels and dimensions. All nominal pressure ratings (PN) are designed with fourfold safety.
Depending on the specific application, different connection systems can be adapted on the pipe connection side. The 24° inner cone serves as a sealing surface. The wide range of fittings from VOSS Fluid includes the most varied designs, such as elbow, T, or L fittings. These are available in various designs, as connection or bulkhead screw connection, as screw-in fitting or directionally adjustable screw-in fitting. This is complemented by a variety of special types, such as reducers, pressure gauge couplings, blind plugs or check valves.
On the screw-in side, a large number of threads and sealing types in accordance with international standards are available for selection.
Flanges
Flanges are next to screw connections another kind of connecting element in the fluid technology. Among others, they connect pipe sections, hose lines, devices, fittings, sensors and machines in a plant. Flanged connections are defined according to the DIN, ANSI and JIS standards and are differentiated by material, nominal diameter, hole pattern, nominal pressure and form. A complete flange connection consists of two identical flanges, bolts, nuts and a gasket.
Our standard range includes conventional flanges according to EN 1092 and SAE J 518c with hose nozzles, while other standards such as ANSI or JIS can be requested from us at any time. For loose flanges we also offer matching flanged bushes. All flanges from DN15 to DN100 are made of stainless steel AISI 316 and galvanized, yellow passivated steel.
Fasteners
There are in principal countless fastening options for the connection between a hose and a hose nozzle. The Angst+Pfister fastening program includes fastening tapes (BAND-IT), various hose clamps, press sleeves, swage ferrules and clamping jaws. Depending on the area of application, pressure range and hose type, the following fastenings are recommended:
Fastening tapes or hose clamps:
For low pressure hoses and simple application such as water, process water, compressed air in the sanitary and in the automotive industry
Press sleeve:
For hydraulic hoses and simple hoses in the low pressure range, made of galvanized and passivated steel and stainless steel
Swage ferrule:
The swage ferrules for hydraulic hoses in the high pressure area are made of galvanized steel and are designed so that they fit exactly to the dimensions of the respective hoses and hose nozzle. The swage ferrules for the chemical, pharmaceutical and food & beverage industries made of stainless steel and are also designed to match the dimensions of the hose and hose nozzle.
Clamping jaws:
The clamping jaws for industries such as the chemical, pharmaceutical and food & beverage industries among others, are also designed to match the dimensions of the hose and hose nozzle. The symmetrical half shells are provided with 4, 6 or 8 screws. The shell fittings for safe binding with hoses are required according to EN ISO 14420-3. The clamping jaws for steam hoses are manufactured in accordance with EN ISO 14423 (DIN2826). Our clamping jaws are available in aluminum, stainless steel AISI 316, brass and polypropylene.

| Cutting ring coupling | Cutting ring coupling consists of a cutting ring, a union nut and a socket with different threads. It is standardized according to DIN 2353 and ISO 8434-1, is divided into 3 pressure levels very light (LL), light (L) and heavy (S), and is mainly used in hydraulics. By tightening the union nut, which is tapered on the inside (24°), the cutting ring is pressed together so that the wedge-shaped inside of the cutting ring cuts into the pipe wall and creates a tight fit. The screw connection fits the steel pipe according to DIN EN 10305-4 and the stainless steel pipe according to DIN EN 10305-1. | 4 - 42 | M10 - M48 G 1/8" - G 1 1/2" |
