The use and implication of hose in different sectors of economy is not unknown. The simple use of plastic hose in the garden for watering the plant may seem basic but when a host is used by the firefighters to save people, then that hose becomes life saving. However, hoses need to be connected to one another to create a long chain when required and hose couplings are required for the same. The requirement of coupling varies from one field to another. The chemical hose, for example has to be strong enough and resistant to chemical reaction and the couplings required for the same is also quite different.

The chemical hoses are mainly made of natural rubber which is reinforced with multiple layers of rubber and so strongly integrated with the steel wire that it can sustain the effect of chemical reaction. The dry deak or quick disconnect couplings are considered to be suitable for this hose. The coupling needs to bind two end strongly enough to make them sustain any kind of outflow. The companies the manufacture these couplings pay major attention on the process of making it. ...
... Quick connect and quick disconnect couplings are required for stopping any undue chemical flush.

The chemical hose couplings should ideally be able to handle pressures of 10,000 psi. It can be a bit more or less in some cases though. There are ‘push to connect’ hose couplings for quick action and they are preferred most in the chemical and gas industries. There are several companies in the market, manufacturing and selling coupling through their website where every category is mentioned clearly to make it easy for the customers to choose. Make sure that the quality of the couplings is good and the specifications meet your requirement before placing the order.
