The Hydro-Craft line of clamping systems:

Special fittings, lower operating pressures and fewer vibrating components may help prevent leaks; however this is not the complete answer.

One of the most crucial requirements is to clamp the hydraulic lines and properly secure the fittings where leaks can occur. Unclamped hydraulic tubing will reverberate, as does a tuning fork. Fluid velocity, pressure, and improper line size all contribute to high frequency vibration, shock, surge, and noise. Far more damaging is the resultant flexing and woodworking of tubing, particularly around couplings, resulting in split lines and fittings.

Hydro-craft is now in it’s 39^th year and is proud to present this unique clamping system. 32 years ago, Hydro-craft engineered and patented a system for clamping hydraulic lines and securing breakpoint fittings. This system is called the MULTI-CLAMP and is the industry standard in clamped breakpoint systems.

Now, Hydro-craft applies its expertise to include a full range of clamping systems, including the WALKER-STRUT channel-mounted system, the only clamp in the world with this exclusive breakpoint feature. Also available are the HYDRO-STRUT and SILENT-STRUT channel mounting systems.

All systems are available in zinc-dichromate plated steel or 304 stainless steel. MULTI-CLAMP is also available in aluminum.
