Layflat fittings for water and slurry hose systems

Layflat fittings are used to connect, route, branch and close flexible layflat hose assemblies in water and slurry systems. Available product types include PP compression adaptor sockets, straight sockets, 90° elbows, 90° T-pieces and caps. These layflat hose fittings support practical pipework layouts where a hose run needs a straight connection, a directional change, a branch connection or a closed end.

Selection should start with the function of the fitting. A socket is suited to a straight connection, an elbow changes direction by 90°, a T-piece creates a branch, and a cap closes an open connection. Adaptors provide transitions between layflat compression connections and threaded components where male thread or female thread options are required.

Connection types and fitting options

PP compression fittings are a recurring option across the layflat pipe fittings available. Compression x male thread and compression x female thread combinations appear on adaptor sockets, elbows and T-pieces, giving installers options for connecting layflat hose components to threaded equipment or pipework. Female thread PP adaptors are also available for threaded connections without a compression socket body.

For straight layflat hose connectors and branch components, explore sockets, bushes, nipples and branch connectors. These products are relevant when a hose run needs a coupling point, threaded transition or branch connection without changing direction in the main line.

Elbows, T-pieces and end closures

90° elbows are useful where the hose route needs a compact change of direction. PP compression elbows are available as compression-only fittings, as well as compression x male thread and compression x female thread versions. For directional changes, compare bends and elbows by connection type, pressure rating and hose size.

T-pieces support branch connections in layflat hose systems. Available T-piece options include PP compression versions and 90° compression x thread x compression formats with male thread or female thread in the centre connection. For branching layouts, T-pieces and Y-pieces should be selected to match the required connection arrangement and existing hose assembly.

Caps are used to terminate or close a layflat connection. PP compression caps appear among the available layflat hose accessories and are relevant where a hose end or system outlet needs a removable closure. Related end-closure parts can be compared under plugs, caps and nuts.

Sizes, pressure ratings and material cues

PP is the material for the available adaptor sockets, adaptors, elbows, T-pieces, sockets and caps. Several adaptor products are available at 6 bar, while many PP compression fittings are available at 10 bar. Select layflat hose couplers by matching the pressure rating to the requirements of the hose system and by checking the connection type before ordering.

Size information appears in both metric and threaded formats, including examples such as 51 mm, 63 mm and 102 mm, as well as thread sizes including 1/2, 2 and 4. When choosing layflat hose connectors, match the hose or pipe size to the compression connection and check whether the adjoining component requires male thread, female thread or a compression-only connection.

Practical selection for industrial layflat connectors

Layflat couplings and adaptors should be selected around the complete connection point, not the fitting shape alone. Check the hose diameter, the required connection arrangement, the thread type, the pressure rating and whether the installation needs a straight, angled, branched or end-closure fitting. Matching these details helps avoid incorrect transitions between flexible hose fittings and threaded components.

For water transfer hose fittings and slurry hose assemblies, consistency across material, size and connection style is important. PP compression components should be paired with compatible layflat hose sizes and appropriate threaded parts where thread transitions are used. Compare layflat hose components by function first, then refine the choice by size, thread and pressure rating.
