How do I find the right tubing connector?

6. June 2025

This question is addressed in the latest article in our Knowledge category. One thing is certain: without the right connector, even the best tubing is worthless. This applies equally to pneumatic tubing, hydraulic lines, and connection technology. If the wrong hose connector is used, the connection point quickly becomes a predetermined breaking point.

The article provides a concise summary of the different types of tubing connectors available. From plug connectors, which are particularly good at saving time, to robust screw connections and special shapes such as T, Y, or X connectors for branching tube systems. In addition to the different types of tubing connectors, their advantages and disadvantages in certain areas of application are also highlighted.

Which requirements are relevant for which type of application? Where is it worth using the cheaper material, and where might it be necessary to invest more initially in order to avoid long-term costs due to failures? The article focuses in particular on clarifying these everyday application questions so that you can select the right hose connector for your application. After all, making an informed choice ultimately saves time, stress, and money.

Although PAPUREX does not manufacture tubing connectors itself, our many years of cooperation with competent partners in this field have taught us how important the right connector is for a tube system. For this reason, we also provide recommendations for competent dealers where you can purchase your hose connectors and receive expert advice.
