A hydraulic power unit is valves, fittings and hose. That is our whole range.

We supply hydraulic valves, fittings and hose pipes for non-critical hydraulic circuits, hydraulic power units and field service and support equipment. We do not supply wellhead, blowout preventer, subsea or process-critical well-control equipment. We would rather state that plainly up front than discover it at quotation stage, and if your requirement falls on the other side of that line we will tell you and, where we can, point you toward a more suitable route.

Only where the component is in sour service. Those standards carry material specification, heat-treatment, hardness and impact-test documentation obligations, and buyers in that space rightly demand explicit proof rather than a general assurance. We do not make a sour-service qualification claim, so if your requirement is sour service, our answer is that this is outside our scope.

It depends on the unit's rated working pressure and duty. Braid to EN 853 2SN covers many general service units; spiral to EN 856 4SP or 4SH is used where pressure or impulse duty is higher. What decides it in practice is that after rig-up all hoses, fittings and connections are tested to the unit's maximum rated working pressure, so the whole assembly has to clear that bar.

A power unit is essentially valves, fittings and hose, which makes it the closest fit to our full range of anything in this sector. Relief valves, directional control valves, check valves, needle valves for gauge isolation and ball valves for service isolation are all within what we supply. Send the flow rate, working pressure, port standards and configuration and we will confirm what we can hold.

Equipment that is connected and disconnected constantly in a sandy or muddy environment puts contamination control ahead of almost everything else, which is why flush-face coupling designs are favoured in that duty. Tell us the coupling standard your existing equipment uses and the working pressure, and we will confirm what we can supply against it.

Both are tapered at the same 1:16 rate, but the thread form angle differs, 55° for BSP and 60° for NPT. In several common sizes they will screw together and appear correct, then weep under pressure because contact is incomplete. BSPP, by contrast, is a parallel thread that seals on a bonded seal against the port face, so without that washer it will not seal at any torque.

No. JIC to SAE J514 and ORB to SAE J1926 share the same UN/UNF thread form but seal completely differently. JIC seals on a 37° metal cone; ORB seals on an O-ring compressed against a machined boss face. Assembling one into the other will not seal reliably and can damage the port.

Give the minimum and maximum ambient temperature and the fluid. Cold-start stiffness in a winter field and high ambient in a desert field are opposite problems and no single generic hose answers both. Temperature rating is a per-product property, so expect a per-product answer rather than a category one.

Yes, and that is the normal route. Share a drawing, a specification or a sample and we confirm dimensions, material, thread standard and pressure rating in writing before production. Where a requirement is beyond what we can reliably hold, we say so at that point rather than after the order.

Tell us anyway. We supply hydraulic valves, fittings and hose pipes. If your requirement sits inside that we would like to take it on, and we will tell you exactly what we can hold and what we cannot. If it sits outside, you will hear that from us up front rather than three weeks into a quote, and where we can we will point you toward a route more likely to work.
