There are three air compressor hose fitting ways: compression hose clamps, locking fittings, and threaded connections.

 Different connection methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, need to choose according to the specific circumstances.


First, compression hose clamp connection


Compression hose clamp connection is very common. It uses the sleeve and clamp to fix the hose, and through the way of twisting the nut to fix the hose in the clamp. 

The advantages of compression hose clamp connection are that it is easy to connect, does not require professional tools, simple and fast operation, and low cost. 

However, its shortcomings are also more obvious, that is, the installation is not solid easy to leak and other problems.

Third, threaded connection


Threaded connection is another common air compressor hose connection. It can use internal or external thread design to fix the hose.

It is important to note that different types of connections are suitable for different situations. For example, locking joints are suitable for occasions requiring 

frequent disassembly and connection, threaded connections are suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature environments, and compression hose clamp connections are suitable for occasions with simple connections and low installation requirements. 

Therefore, when choosing the connection method, you need to consider various factors, such as the quality of the connection, the installation difficulty, the use of the environment and so on.
