Adapt or Perish

Purple FlowerIt’s like…somebody that was probably important once said: In life, you either adapt or perish.

This is true in everyday life and it’s true when it comes to the world of hose adapters and thread developments.

Luckily, at Hose and Rubber Supply, we’re known for helping customers adapt to equipment from any corner of the planet.

We are your source for Thread and Adapter Identification Kits. Whether foreign or domestic, Hose and Rubber Supply will ensure that you get from Point ‘A’ to Point ‘B’ with minimal fuss.

Equipment threads can be confusing and hard to identify. But at Hose and Rubber Supply, we pride ourselves on finding solutions to any and all problems you may have. For nearly half a century, we have been staying abreast of all the important international thread developments, as well as the needs of a changing industry.

Some types of equipment - equipment that is vital to the work that you are doing - use a variety of hose threads. Some of these are easy to find and can be secured without trouble. But some are harder to find, with many not even available in the United States.

Hose and Rubber Supply has SAE adapters, to be sure. But today’s equipment uses British, German DIN LIGHT and HEAVY, JIS, and many other configurations.
