Hose Adapters

Motion carries a vast inventory of adapters, including cross adapters, ferrules, sleeves, caps, nuts, instrumentation cross fittings, plugs, pneumatic tube fittings, and more. An adapter is a component or device that is typically used for joining or connecting other components together or changing the functionality of a component or appliance. Hose adapters, for example, can allow a hose to be used in diverse ways or connect to other things, like additional hoses, tanks, or appliances. Adapters come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and forms, from straight adapters to 45 and 90 degree elbow adapters.

Adapters have a range of potential uses depending on the type of adapter. Straight adapters, for example, are most used for easy connections of multiple hoses or tubes together into one longer hose or tube. An elbow adapter or special adapter with a more unique shape may be needed to connect a hose or piping to a tank or appliance for proper routing to avoid overbending and potential abrasion issues.
