Here is an overview of the various hose couplings supplied for customers to help them understand their options and make the best selection for their needs. There are also a variety of specialty couplings available for customers upon request.
Expansion couplings
An expansion coupling is used to help accommodate for the expansion and contraction effect on a hose due to temperature changes. These types of fittings are best used when the temperature changes are expected to exceed 25°F in aboveground installations. Truex offers expansion couplings in a variety of sizes, including 7/16”, 1/2”, 19/32”, 5/8”, and 3/4”. Each size comes in several variations as both male and female parts, different capacity ferrules, and some in female octagonal. View our Catalog.
Eyelets
Eyelet couplings are typically recommended for use with non - reinforced hoses. These couplings are used to join a hose to another part of the machine with a secure seal. There is a male and a female end; both typically ribbed, to allow for secure connection. Truex offers eyelets with either the female or male end sized to .635”. Inserts are also available to help the eyelets fit properly into the hose. View our Catalog.
Sprinkler hose couplings
Sprinkler hose couplings are responsible for spraying the water according to the desired force and covering the desired area. These couplings will produce different streams of water depending on their formation and production. Those created by Truex come in either .725” or .875”. In the .725” category they offer female soakers, female octagonal, or male shaped pieces. In the .875” category, soaker ferrules are available.

Nuts and End Caps
Nuts serve a variety of purposes for joining different tubing and machine parts together. They will come with different strength ratings, typically dependent upon their pairing with the other parts. They also come in several different types of materials, including low or medium carbon steel, medium carbon steel, or alloy steel. View our Catalog.
End caps seal off a hose when it is not in use. Truex offers both brass and plastic end caps depending on the contents of the hose and the budget and ascetical considerations of the client. View our Catalog.
In the same category, there is also the availability of a uniprene hose washer. These washers offer hot water capabilities over 180°F when required. View our Catalog.
