Hose Fitting: Male/Female Adapters in Brass or Aluminum and Chrome-Plated Steel

Our fittings and adapters for flexible hoses

Brass flexible hose fittings – corrosion resistance and dimensional stability

Brass fittings offer a reliable solution for installations requiring strong corrosion resistance and excellent dimensional stability. The brass used for each metal hose fitting at ABEILLON is selected for its robustness and its ability to withstand demanding environments: control stations, safety equipment, sensor support arms or lighting devices.
Their refined finish ensures a watertight brass fitting when assembled with the appropriate accessories (gaskets, clamps or sealing rings).

Chrome flexible hose fittings – enhanced shine and protection

For applications where aesthetics and surface protection play a key role, ABEILLON offers a range of chrome flexible hose fittings. The surface treatment ensures excellent resistance to abrasion, dirt and oxidation, while providing a clean and professional visual appearance, appreciated in audio, lighting or presentation equipment. This type of industrial chrome fitting also meets the needs of demanding environments subject to frequent handling or regular cleaning. The chrome layer provides long-lasting protection of the fitting body and ensures smooth sliding during assembly onto the hose or the connection piece, reducing premature wear and preserving watertightness and holding performance.

Male/female adapters – compatibility and versatility

The male/female adapters offered by ABEILLON facilitate interconnection between different piping systems, nozzles or accessories. Each male-to-female adapter fitting is designed to ensure a smooth transition between two different threads or diameters without compromising the mechanical stability of the assembly. Depending on your needs, you can select a male-female threaded adapter to connect a hose to a housing, a support or a control device. These flexible hose connection components ensure a reliable continuity between your equipment while limiting assembly constraints. They are available in aluminum or chrome versions, ensuring visual and functional coherence within your installation.

Choosing the right fitting for your flexible hose

Thread, diameter and hose compatibility

Selecting a threaded hose fitting first requires accurately defining the thread type and diameter. It is important to check the standard used on your equipment (metric, gas, other standards) as well as the effective thread engagement length. Precise identification guarantees compatibility between the flexible hose fitting and the component it is attached to. The inner diameter of the hose, its structure (smooth, corrugated, semi-rigid) and the sheath material also influence the recommended fitting model. If in doubt, the ABEILLON team can help you determine the most suitable aluminum connector or chrome connector to ensure a reliable, secure assembly compliant with your application constraints.

Differences between straight, swivel and quick-release fittings

Depending on your installation layout, choosing between a straight hose fitting, a swivel model or a quick-release version will have different implications for system ergonomics. A straight fitting is particularly suitable for fixed lines or devices that do not require frequent adjustments. On the other hand, a swivel hose fitting allows you to adjust the hose orientation without stressing it, which is useful for positioning microphones, sensors or light sources. Finally, a aluminum quick-release fitting or another simplified connection system facilitates maintenance and reconfiguration operations, especially when hoses must be regularly assembled and disassembled.

Industrial-grade fittings manufactured by ABEILLON

Quality control and machining precision

For more than 70 years, ABEILLON has been designing and manufacturing in France semi-rigid hoses and their accessories, including a wide range of metal flexible hose fittings. Every flexible hose connection component receives particular attention: alloy selection, machining quality, thread verification and dimensional control. Internal processes are organized around a certified system, including ISO 9001. This requirement for traceability and inspection ensures that the industrial fittings comply with the specifications of your projects, whether they are intended for security, medical, lighting, mechanical or instrumentation sectors.

Technical solutions for demanding environments

Thanks to its experience across numerous application fields, ABEILLON can offer technical solutions adapted to demanding environments. Aluminum or chrome fittings can be integrated into devices subjected to vibration, shock, temperature variations or frequent cleaning. For specific assemblies, a male-female end fitting can be combined with custom-designed semi-rigid hoses to create a complete system for support, protection and fixed positioning. Design assistance helps anticipate mechanical constraints and select the most suitable metal hose fitting for your requirements.
