The Alfagomma A-BBOLT Two-Piece Fittings are straight, carbon steel fittings designed to connect hoses to BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel) bolt-style connections, often used in high-pressure systems like industrial machinery and hydraulic equipment. These fittings consist of two parts: a hose end and a bolt attachment, and they include a ferrule, which is a metal ring that helps securely clamp the hose onto the fitting to prevent leaks. Ferrules are essential for providing a strong, leak-proof connection, especially in high-pressure systems. The difference between two-piece and one-piece fittings lies in their design: a two-piece fitting allows for more flexibility, as individual components like the hose end and ferrule can be replaced or serviced, while a one-piece fitting is a single, integrated unit. The A-BBOLT fittings are ideal for use with a wide range of hoses, including wire and textile braided hoses, thermoplastic hoses, Flexor 4, PTFE hoses, and smaller ID spiral wire reinforced hoses, offering a reliable, durable connection for fluid systems.
