RHPL makes hose fittings and adaptors in Raipur on two in-house CNC machines, alongside fittings bought in from qualified suppliers. For South African buyers this matters in two cases: when a workshop needs a dependable second source for common fittings, and when a machine needs an end that nobody has on the shelf.
Thread and connection families
| Family | Sealing | Application context to verify |
|---|---|---|
| BSP (BSPP / BSPT) | 60° cone or bonded seal; taper thread | British and European-heritage plant, pumps, older mining equipment |
| JIC 37° | 37° flare | US-heritage mobile machines and many mining fleets |
| ORFS | Flat face with O-ring | Higher-pressure mobile circuits on modern machines |
| Metric DIN 24° (L and S series) | 24° cone, often with O-ring | European machines, drill rigs and underground equipment |
| NPT / NPTF | Taper thread | US-origin pumps, compressors and older plant |
| SAE code 61 / 62 flange | Flat flange with O-ring | Main pump and cylinder ports on large machines |
| Staple-lock (SL type) | Push-in with staple clip | Some underground mining equipment |
| JIS / Komatsu-type metric | 30° cone and metric threads | Japanese-origin machines |
These are general patterns, not rules. Mixed fleets mean any family can appear anywhere, so we identify each end from a sample, a photo of the sealing face or a thread measurement before quoting. See how we resolve fitting identity.
*Aftermarket assemblies built to the confirmed reference. Not OEM-genuine parts; no OEM approval is claimed.*
What we supply
- Crimp fittings and matched ferrules for braided and spiral hose.
- Straight, 45° and 90° fittings, swept and compact elbows.
- Adaptors between thread families: BSP to JIC, ORFS to metric, flange to thread, and others.
- Banjos, swivels, tees, plugs, caps and bulkhead fittings.
- Flange halves, split-flange clamps and bolt kits.
- Plating and material options: zinc-nickel plated and stainless-steel fittings can be offered. Tell us the environment, such as wet underground headings, coastal sites or acid-plant areas.
Custom CNC adaptors and obsolete ends
Two in-house CNCs let us make an adaptor that does not appear in a catalogue, in small batches. Examples of requirements a South African buyer can submit:
- An older machine with an end that the original supplier no longer stocks.
- A rebuilt component whose port no longer matches the original hose.
- A plant line that has to join two thread families in a tight space.
Send a drawing, or a sample with measured dimensions and photos. We confirm material, thread, sealing face and plating in the quotation before machining.
A buying list for South African hose workshops
If your workshop stocks fitting lines with different reorder frequencies, use your own records to define the proposed order. RHPL can quote a workshop list in one go:
- Lines selected from your own records: select fitting families, angles and sizes from your actual demand.
- Other lines you may choose to stock: flange fittings, metric 24° sizes, staple-lock ends.
- Matched ferrules for the hose series you crimp, with the crimp data reference.
- Adaptor ranges sorted by thread pair.
The workshop owns and holds its stock; RHPL holds none in South Africa. Terms for resale buyers are on the dealer and trade supply page.
Identification and packing
Fittings are packed by part description, thread family and size, and the packing list repeats each line so that your stores can receive them against your order. Bags are labelled in English.
