Description
Boss Hose Stem Applications
Boss hose stem couplings are all purpose hose couplings, therefore universally recommended for steam hose connections. Furthermore, they are also widely suitable for air, water, fluid petroleum, chemicals, and liquid petroleum gas up to 1″ ID. Besides, Boss couplings can be applied to many types of rubber, synthetic, plastic, metallic, or semi-metallic hose.
Use
Ground joint couplings supply a convenient threaded fitting to connect two lengths of hose, and a single length to a male or female threaded outlet. Use with Boss Ground Joint fittings.
Features
The spud part of the coupling serves as one half of the Boss Ground Joint connection, therefore, it is usually fixed to the equipment. As a result stem part that is clamped to the hose is the other half. The two halves are connected or disconnected by rotating the wing nut on the spud. Finally, when connected they achieve both a mechanical and a pressure seal.
Safety Precautions
- 175 PSI Maximum recommended operating pressure: coupling joint only – not hose retention.
- Use safety clips in holes provided on each coupling. Use steel safety cables to guard against the accidental separation of lines.
- Worn-out hose couplings can be dangerous. They should be checked regularly and replace when necessary. Each coupling user should review applications and add safety devices where indicated.
- Pressurized steam is an extremely dangerous commodity. Only hose, fittings, clamps, and accessory items that have been approved for steam service should ever be used! Never use an unapproved item for steam service. Always follow the manufacturer’s product recommendations for pressurized steam handling.
General Information
Industrial Hose Fittings are mainly suitable in pipe and plumbing systems. To connect straight pipe or tubing sections, to adapt to different sizes or shapes, and to regulate fluid flow. While assuring safe and secure connections.
These fittings can be tiny connectors or extra-large connections for large piping systems. Suitable in a variety of applications such as low-pressure air hose fittings, sandblast, hose clamp fittings for industrial hose, pump fittings. They are also useful for mending hose, attaching the hose to anything that has female NPT thread, such as pipe, cam & groove couplers, trucks, and tanks. These fittings also are perfect for jackhammer hose.
Grand Joint Fittings
Interlocking-Clamp Hose Fittings for Steam also referring to as ground-joint couplings and boss couplings, these fittings are suitable for high-pressure steam heating, humidification, and wash-down applications. Insert the barbed end of the fitting into rubber hose, then position the interlocking clamp over the hose and bolt into place with a torque wrench. The clamp firmly grips the hose as it locks into the ring of the barbed end, creating a leak-tight seal. The interlocking clamps are not reusable. Fittings are strong and durable with fair corrosion resistance.
