Hose Connector RECTUS 8 mm model 12035 — 8mm pneumatic/hydraulic fitting

RECTUS 8 mm model 12035 is an 8 mm hose connector intended for joining 8 mm tubing in pneumatic and hydraulic systems. The fitting provides a compact mechanical connection for flexible hoses or plastic tubing, enabling a secure coupling point in workshops, industrial machinery and maintenance environments where a reliable 8 mm hose joint is required.

Advantages

The connector is designed for a straightforward push-fit or clamped installation, offering a compact footprint and stable hose retention under typical operating pressures of pneumatic and low-pressure hydraulic circuits. Its simple construction reduces leak points and facilitates quick replacement or reconfiguration of tubing runs. The compact profile and standardized 8 mm interface make it compatible with common flexible hoses and plastic tubes used in industrial and workshop applications.

Suitable for

• Joining 8 mm flexible hoses in pneumatic systems
• Connecting plastic tubing in low-pressure hydraulic circuits
• Workshop and maintenance hose repairs
• Equipment and machinery service where compact 8 mm fittings are required

Key specifications

• Nominal tube diameter: 8 mm
• Application: pneumatic and low-pressure hydraulic connections
• Connection type: inline hose connector for flexible hose or plastic tubing
• Construction: compact mechanical fitting designed for secure hose retention
• Typical compatibility: standard 8 mm flexible hoses and plastic tubing

How to use

Select tubing with an 8 mm outer diameter and inspect ends for damage or contamination. If clamps are required by the hose type or application, slide them onto the hose before inserting the connector. Push the hose onto the connector until it seats fully on the fitting's barb or insertion shoulder; if applicable, tighten hose clamps to secure the connection and prevent leaks. After installation, operate the system at low pressure initially and inspect the joint for proper sealing. For disassembly, relieve system pressure, loosen clamps if present, and pull the hose off the connector while supporting the tubing to avoid damage.

Usage recommendations

Use with hoses and tubing rated for the system's maximum pressure and compatible with the operating fluids. Verify that hose clamps, if used, are suitable for the hose material and application. Regularly inspect connections for wear, deformation or leaks, and replace fittings showing damage or persistent leakage.
