Connect Hydraulic and Industrial Fluid Systems with Quality Fittings and Components

Hydraulic fittings and fluid handling components are the connection points in any pressurised fluid system — from hydraulic power units and cylinders through to pneumatic circuits, coolant systems and industrial fluid transfer lines. The right fitting ensures leak-free connections under operating pressure, prevents contamination ingress and simplifies maintenance when components need to be disconnected and serviced. AIMS Industrial sells hydraulic fittings and industrial fluid components from Dixon and AAP.

We sell hydraulic fittings and fluid components from Dixon and AAP — industrial fluid handling and pipeline component specialists supplying engineering, maintenance and industrial operations across Australia.

• Dixon: Dixon is a global fluid handling components manufacturer with a comprehensive range of fittings, couplings, valves and accessories for water, air, chemical and industrial fluid applications.
• AAP: AAP supplies industrial fluid fittings and components for general pipeline and fluid system applications. AAP is an established Australian industrial hardware and fittings supplier.

What to Look for in Hydraulic Fittings

Hydraulic fitting selection is critical to system reliability. Key factors include thread form, pressure rating, material compatibility and connection type.

• Thread Form and Standards: Australian hydraulic systems use BSP (British Standard Pipe), metric and JIC thread forms depending on the equipment manufacturer and system age. Mismatched threads are a common source of fitting leaks and must be avoided. Always verify the thread form and size before ordering replacement fittings.
• Pressure Rating: Fittings must be rated at or above the maximum operating pressure of the hydraulic circuit, including pressure spikes. Never substitute a lower-rated fitting in a hydraulic system — fitting failure under pressure can cause serious injury and equipment damage.
• Material Compatibility: Steel fittings are standard for high-pressure hydraulic circuits. Brass fittings suit lower-pressure water, air and general fluid applications. Stainless steel is required for corrosive fluid environments.
