Using quick-connect fittings or quick couplings that make a repeated connection and disconnection between fluid lines and the equipment to which they are attached can ensure hydraulic and pneumatic hose safety. Quick couplings are used in both hydraulic and pneumatic applications, and are designed for easy hand operation.

When it comes to purchasing hose, fittings and fluid conveyance systems from a distributor, customers are often looking for the lowest possible cost - yet that decision may ultimately come at a much higher price in the form of shutdowns, lost employee time, OSHA fines for safety issues, potential lawsuits and potential clean up costs of spills.

Milpaws is proud to be a member of the National Association for Hose and Accessories Distributors (NAHAD) Hose Safety Institute. But what exactly does our membership mean for you, the customer?

Milpaws recently became one of the only hose assembly fabricators within a 125-mile radius of the St. Louis metro area to offer crimping capabilities up to 8” ID hardwall hose and 12” ID layflat hose. That’s big news for any client with larger hose assembly requirements.
