Machine builders and maintenance technicians must ensure that hoses are properly secured to the correct connection. Unfortunately, when dealing with multiple hoses on a complicated machine, personnel can waste a lot of time just identifying the proper routing and mating ends. Worse, there can be equipment damage due to incorrect connections or, in the case […]

Turning back time: A look at Holmbury’s founding
A simple request for a leak-free coupling to a sales rep turned into one of the industry’s leading designers and manufacturers of flat face couplings. That’s how Holmbury Inc. got its start. The company’s founder, David French, was a hydraulic filter salesman and engineer by training when one of his larger customers — a manufacturer […]
The benefits of custom quick disconnects
Non-standard QDs often lead to better system design and, surprisingly, lower overall costs. Contributed by Joe Engel and Nick Goenner, Specialty Manufacturing Co. Most quick-disconnect coupling manufacturers focus on offering standard products in dozens, if not hundreds of different sizes and types. Many times, off-the-shelf QDs work fine for a given task. They meet the […]
Hose connections reinvented
The Quick-Connect system is an easy-to-install and cost-effective alternative to conventional hose connection fittings, according to officials at ARGO-HYTOS, Kraichtal, Germany. Tubes and hoses equipped with these connections can simply be plugged into the appropriate adapters by the user and fixed with enclosed locking clips. This assembly sequence is significantly faster than the steps required […]
