Quick answer:Send the old hose (or four photos plus measurements: both end fittings, overall length, hose inner diameter and pressure rating stamp) and we build the assembly to match. Ordering by description alone is the top cause of hose round-trips.

The Four Things That Must Match

ItemWhat to check
End fittingsType (JIC, BSP, metric DIN, ORFS), thread size, male/female, elbow angle
Overall lengthMeasure end-to-end including fittings; too short tears, too long rubs
Hose specInner diameter and pressure rating from the printed layline stamp
Routing contextPhoto of where it connects on the machine — catches elbows and guards

The layline stamp on the old hose states size and pressure class — one clear photo of it is worth a paragraph of description.

Why the Same Machine Takes Different Fittings

Volvo machines built for different markets carry different fitting standards, and hoses replaced locally over the years may not match the factory layout. That is why we build from your old hose rather than from the machine model alone. Custom assemblies are cut, crimped and pressure-tested to your sample.

Carry Spares for the Hoses That Stop the Machine

Fleet practice: keep one spare for each hose that would immobilize the machine if it fails — typically the main pump suction and pressure lines, swing and travel motor lines. Bulk hose plus a few common fittings on the service truck covers the rest. Send photos of your critical lines and we quote a spare set.

FAQ

Can you copy a hose from the old one?

Yes — that is the most reliable method. Send the old hose, or photos of both fittings plus the layline stamp and overall length, and we build to match.

How fast can a custom hose assembly ship?

In-stock fittings and hose crimp the same day; the assembly is tested before packing. Freight speed is your choice of courier, air or sea.

Do you supply bulk hose and fittings?

Yes — bulk hydraulic hose and common fitting types are quoted by length and quantity for service trucks and workshops.
