Hose fitting: male/female adapters in brass or aluminum and chrome-plated steel

Our fittings and adapters for hoses

Brass hose fittings – corrosion resistance and dimensional stability

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

Chrome hose fittings – enhanced shine and protection

For applications where aesthetics and surface protection are key, ABEILLON offers a range of chrome-plated hose fittings . The surface treatment ensures excellent resistance to abrasion, dirt, and oxidation, while providing a clean and professional finish, appreciated in audio, lighting, and presentation equipment. This type of chrome-plated industrial fitting also meets the needs of demanding environments subject to frequent handling or regular cleaning. The chrome plating provides long-lasting protection for the fitting body and ensures smooth sliding when assembled onto the hose or connecting piece, limiting premature wear and preserving sealing and retention qualities.

Male/female adapters – compatibility and versatility

The male/female adapters offered by ABEILLON facilitate the interconnection of different hose systems, fittings, or accessories. Each male/female adapter fitting is designed to ensure the transition between two distinct 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, bracket, or control device. These flexible connection ensure reliable continuity between your equipment while minimizing installation constraints. They are available in aluminum or chrome finishes to maintain consistency with the rest of your installation.

Choosing the right fitting for your hose

Thread, diameter and compatibility with the hose

Choosing a threaded fitting for a hose depends first and foremost on precisely defining the thread type and diameter. It is important to verify the standard used on your equipment (metric, gas, or other) as well as the required thread length. Accurate identification ensures compatibility between the hose fitting and the component to which it is attached. The hose's internal diameter, its structure (smooth, corrugated, semi-rigid), and the sheath material also influence the recommended fitting model. If you are unsure, the ABEILLON can help you determine the best type of aluminum or chrome-plated connector to ensure a reliable, secure assembly that meets the requirements of your applications.

Differences between straight, swivel, and quick-connect fittings

Depending on your installation configuration, the choice between a straight hose connector , a swivel connector, or a quick-connect version will have different consequences for the system's ergonomics. A straight connector is particularly well-suited to fixed lines or devices that don't require frequent adjustments. Conversely, a swivel connector allows you to change the hose's orientation without restricting it, which is useful for positioning microphones, sensors, or light sources. Finally, an aluminum quick-connect fitting , or another simplified connection system, facilitates maintenance and reconfiguration, especially when hoses need to be installed and removed regularly.

Industrial-grade fittings manufactured by ABEILLON

Quality control and machining precision

For over 70 years, ABEILLON has been designing and manufacturing semi-rigid hoses and accessories in France, including a wide range of fittings for metal hoses. Each flexible hose fitting receives meticulous attention: careful selection of alloys, precision machining, thread verification, and dimensional control. Internal processes are organized around a certified system, notably according to ISO 9001 standards. This commitment to traceability and control guarantees that industrial fittings meet the specifications of your projects, whether they are intended for the security, medical, lighting, mechanical, or instrumentation sectors.

Technical solutions for demanding environments

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