The Alfagomma V-MAPI Two-Piece Fitting is a durable, carbon steel, straight fitting designed for use with wire and textile braided hoses, as well as thermoplastic, Flexor 4, and PTFE hoses. This fitting features an API Male NPT extended hex, which provides a reliable, leak-proof seal for high-pressure fluid systems. It is a two-piece insert, which means the fitting is made up of a separate ferrule (the insert) and fitting body, designed to securely attach hoses to piping or other systems. Ferrules are crucial for providing a tight seal between the hose and fitting, preventing leaks. The difference between two-piece and one-piece fittings is that two-piece fittings allow for easier assembly, maintenance, and replacement of parts, whereas one-piece fittings are typically more rigid and difficult to adjust once installed. The A Series two-piece fittings are specifically designed for hose sizes ranging from ³⁄₁₆" to 2" ID and are perfect for use with a variety of hose types, including smaller ID spiral wire reinforced hoses. These fittings are ideal for industries that require high pressure and flexibility, offering a strong and secure connection.
