Steel adapter portfolio expanded 

Standardised to fit almost any hydraulic fluid conveyance application, Eaton’s broad steel adapter portfolio spans many sizes and end connections, says the company. Its steel adapters are found across a wide range of industries, such as mining, oil and gas, renewable power and transportation.

“When Eaton hoses and steel adapters are combined as a complete system,” it adds, “the resulting assemblies can support much higher operating pressures — up to 125% above Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standards.

Eaton’s steel adapters come with Dura-Kote plating as standard. “This technology offers up to 10 times better corrosion protection than SAE standards, preventing red rust for a minimum of 720 hours,” states Eaton. “As a result, Dura-Kote enables a longer in-application lifespan for Eaton’s steel adapters, as well as an improved appearance, no incompatibility issues, lower maintenance costs, reduced downtime and less chance of leakage. Additionally, Eaton’s steel adapters maintain a 4:1 safety factor across all configurations and sizes to protect both people and equipment.”
