Hose & fittings · Ballyclare
Hydraulic hose, made up while you wait.
One, two, four and six wire hydraulic hose, and jet wash hose, cut and crimped to length with the right fitting on each end. Over a thousand fittings and adaptors on the shelf, so the one you are after is usually sitting here.
How to order hose and fittings

If the hose is already off the machine, bring it with you — matching an old hose takes minutes and removes any doubt about the thread.
On the reel
Every grade, cut to your length.
Hose is sold by the metre, not by the roll, so you buy what the job needs and nothing more.
Braided and spiral, off the same reel rack
One and two wire are braided — the everyday grades that cover return lines, low-pressure services and most of what fails on a working machine. Four and six wire are spiral, for the high-pressure end where a braided hose will not hold.
Tell us the machine and what the hose feeds and we will put you on the right grade. Fitting a lighter hose than the circuit wants is how you end up back here in a fortnight.
One wire
Single braid. Return lines, low-pressure services and the everyday runs that still need doing properly.
Two wire
Twin braid, and the grade most working machines need. The one that goes out the door most often.
Four wire
Spiral. Breaker feed and return, and the high-pressure services a two wire will not hold.
Six wire
Heavy spiral for the biggest machines and the hardest-working circuits. Ring ahead on the longer runs.
Jet wash
Pressure washer hose too.
Not everything that stops a job is on the digger.
Jet wash hose and fittings
Jet wash hose made up the same way and to the same standard, with jet wash fittings and couplings to match. Bring the old one or the lance end and we will sort it.
Getting it right first time
Three ways to order.
Any of these gets you a hose that fits. The first is the quickest.
Bring the old hose
The surest way. We match length, bore, grade and both ends off the failed hose, so there is nothing to get wrong and nothing to measure twice.
Know the sizes
Thread size and tail size on each end, the grade and the length. Ring it through and it can be made up before you arrive.
Ring from the machine
Not sure what you are looking at? Ring and describe it, or send a photo to the mobile. We have seen most of them before.
Over a thousand fittings and adaptors
Organised by thread and tail size.
Our BSP stock is grouped by fitting type, then sorted by thread size and tail size, so a fitting is found rather than hunted for.
Straight female/male
90° female/male
45° female/male
Banjo
Male
BSPT taper male
Compact female
Flat face
Also stocked: female and male inverted cone, adaptors, and the odd sizes that nobody else has. If you know the thread and tail size, ring it through. If you don’t, bring the old one in.
Quick release couplings
Three types on the shelf.
The right coupling for the circuit, not whatever happens to fit.
Matched pairs, both halves
Flat face for breaker and attachment circuits — clean break, no spill on the coupling and no dirt drawn into the system. Screw type for the services that stay connected and have to stay put. Low pressure push-fit for auxiliary work.
If you are changing an attachment over, bring both halves so we can match them properly.
Low pressure
Standard push-fit couplings for auxiliary and low-pressure services.
Flat face
Clean-break flat face for breaker and attachment circuits.
Screw type
Screw-together couplings for connections that have to stay put.
Also on the shelf
Hydraulic oil, 20 litre drums.
In stock, so topping a machine up is not a separate trip to somebody else.
20 litre drums
Hydraulic oil in 20 litre drums, on the shelf. Tell us the machine if you are not sure what it takes.
Made up properly
Hose cut, skived where it needs it and crimped to the fitting. No jubilee clips, no hoping.
Checked before it leaves
Both ends checked against what came off the machine before it goes out the door.
While you are here
The rest of what is on the shelf.
Most people who come in for a hose need something else while the machine is down.
Tell us the carrier and the job.
We’ll tell you the right tool.
Ring the sizes through, or send a photo of the old hose and its fittings. We’ll tell you if it’s on the shelf and have it made up for you.
