🎵 "The Heat Is On..." 🎵 Don't let summer temperatures turn your hydraulic hoses into a hookup headache.

When the weather is hot, thermal expansion of hydraulic fluid can be a real problem. Thermal expansion can lead to various issues such as coupler lock-ups, leaks, and hydraulic cylinder failures.

To safeguard your hydraulic attachments from these problems, we recommend attaching the Hose End Chamber when they are sitting idle and not attached to your tractor or power source. This simple measure will not only prevent stress on your equipment but also facilitate hassle-free, quick coupler hook-ups, minimize leaks, and provide stress-free storage.

It really is a small, family business! The Hose End Chamber (HEC) is made in the USA, but this short video was produced by Dale's son-in-law who lives in Brazil with the help of a non-English speaking intern.

This video comes to life through a sequence of all individual illustrations and shows an everyday life scenario if you work with farm implements, construction attachments, or industrial tools.

Do you ever wonder why your hydraulic couplers seem so finicky? Why you are able to recouple them one time with no trouble, but maybe not the next?

What actually happens the second you uncouple your hydraulic hoses and couplers from the power source (tractor, skid loader, excavator, or truck) ... it becomes a trapped system. The hydraulic oil no longer has a place to go. Throughout the day, the ambient temperature and sun’s rays touch the equipment which causes the hydraulic oil to expand in the trapped system. This causes a pressure increase in your system, and locks up your hydraulic couplers. Unhooked hydraulic couplers are now check valves, and the pressure that builds up behind them holds the couplers closed, tighter and tighter. This can cause your hydraulic cylinders to form leaks, become impossible to recouple, or even blow entirely.

This pressure buildup, known as thermal expansion, can cause very expensive damage to your very expensive equipment, and can be a serious safety hazard as well!

The ONLY solution is to prevent the problem, and now you can.

The Hose End Chamber, prevents the pressure build up from thermal expansion from temperature changes throughout the day ... even when your machinery is not in use!

Are you already working the fields, or is it too early to get out where you live? Do you use a cultipacker to prepare your seedbed? If so, protect your cultipacker's hydraulic components (when not in use) with the Hose End Chamber.

Thermal expansion of the hydraulic fluid (caused by fluctuations in outside temperature) can cause your couplers to lock up, leaks to form, and cause your hydraulic cylinders to blow.

By attaching the Hose End Chamber to your hydraulic implements and attachments (when they are not in use), it will protect your equipment from the problems associated with thermal expansion.
