Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of quick couplers compared to standard fittings?

Quick couplers enable rapid (dis)connection without tools, reducing equipment downtime, swaps, and maintenance. Essentially, standard hydraulic fittings are for permanent, high-pressure solutions, while couplers prioritize efficiency. They’re ideal for systems requiring frequent changes (e.g., agricultural machinery, construction tools). 

Are your fittings certified for industry safety standards?

Absolutely. Our fittings meet industry standards like:

   -  ISO specifications for international compatibility
   -  SAE standards for North American systems
   -  DIN requirements for European applications

As certified dealers for brands like CEJN and SPX Hytec, we ensure compliance through rigorous testing for pressure tolerance, material integrity, and leak resistance. Documentation available upon request.

Can I use your fittings with custom or non-standard hydraulic systems?

Yes. Our hydraulic fittings are compatible with many hose types and systems. We can also provide tailored solutions, including specialized threading, sizes, or materials for custom setups. Contact our support team with your system specifications. We’ll identify or source fittings to ensure seamless integration.

What steps should I take to ensure proper hydraulic pipe fitting installation?

A quick checklist:

   -  Clean connections to remove debris
   -  Use thread sealant 
   -  Avoid overtightening
   -  Ensure fittings match hose/pressure ratings
   -  Inspect for alignment before securing

For crimped fittings, verify tool calibration. Our technicians offer free guidance for installation challenges. Reach out via live chat for assistance. Trust G&G Hydraulics, one of the most reliable hydraulic fittings suppliers, for quality products and support.

How do I know when it’s time to replace fittings?

Watch for these warning signs:

   -  Visible corrosion or thread damage
   -  Weeping around connections
   -  Metal particles in your fluid (indicates internal wear)
   -  Fittings that “looked fine” but failed under temperature cycling

When in doubt, replace it.
