The Alfagomma A-HMEN Hose Mender Two-Piece Fitting is a reliable and durable solution for joining two sections of hose together. Made from carbon steel, this straight fitting connects hose ends, making it perfect for repairing or extending hoses in fluid power systems. The A-HMEN fitting uses a two-piece insert design, which consists of the fitting body and a ferrule. Ferrules are metal inserts that secure the hose to the fitting, creating a leak-proof seal and ensuring a tight, secure connection. The primary difference between two-piece and one-piece fittings is flexibility: two-piece fittings are easier to assemble and maintain, allowing for simple adjustments or repairs, while one-piece fittings are fixed and typically harder to adjust after installation. The A Series two-piece fittings are designed for use with all wire and textile braided hoses, thermoplastic hoses, and certain spiral wire reinforced hoses, ranging from ³⁄₁₆" to 2" in size. These versatile fittings offer optimal performance in high-pressure environments and are perfect for a wide range of industrial applications, providing secure and efficient hose connections.
