The Alfagomma A-MBPT Two-Piece Fittings are straight, carbon steel hose fittings designed to connect hoses to BSPT (British Standard Pipe Tapered) or JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) male tapered threads. These fittings are used with a variety of hoses, including wire and textile braided hoses, thermoplastic hoses, Flexor 4, PTFE hoses, and spiral wire reinforced hoses with sizes ranging from ³⁄₁₆" to 2" ID. A two-piece fitting consists of two parts: a hose end and a ferrule, which is a metal sleeve that helps secure the hose to the fitting, preventing leaks and ensuring a strong, tight connection. The main difference between two-piece and one-piece fittings is that two-piece fittings offer more flexibility, as they consist of separate components that can be replaced or repaired individually, whereas one-piece fittings are a single, more compact unit that provides a durable, permanent solution. Ferrules play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of the connection by securely holding the hose in place under high-pressure conditions. These fittings are essential for creating reliable and secure hose connections in various high-pressure systems.
