Swage Fittings FAQs

what are swage fittings?

Swage fittings are a type of fitting used to connect wire rope or cable. They are typically used in applications where a strong and reliable connection is required, such as in rigging, lifting, and structural applications. Swage fittings are installed by compressing the fitting onto the wire rope or cable using a swaging tool. This process creates a permanent connection that is as strong as the wire rope or cable itself. Swage fittings are available in a variety of materials, sizes, and configurations to meet the needs of different applications.

Swage fittings are used in a variety of applications, including:

  • HVAC/R systems: Swage fittings, valves, and connectors are used to join tubing in heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems. They provide a secure and leak-proof connection without the need for brazing or soldering.
  • Plumbing: Swage fittings are used to connect pipes of different sizes in plumbing systems. They are also used to repair damaged pipes.
  • Oil and gas: Swage fittings are used in the oil and gas industry to connect pipes and hoses in pipelines and drilling equipment. They are also used to repair damaged pipes.
  • Chemical processing: Swage fittings are used in chemical processing plants to connect pipes and hoses that carry corrosive or hazardous materials.
  • Manufacturing: Swage fittings are used in manufacturing to connect pipes and hoses in various types of equipment.
  • Aerospace: Swage fittings are used in the aerospace industry to connect hydraulic lines and fuel lines in aircraft and spacecraft.
  • Marine: Swage fittings are used in the marine industry to connect pipes and hoses in boats and ships.

Swage fittings are a versatile and reliable way to connect pipes and hoses in a variety of applications. They are easy to install and can provide a strong and leak-proof connection.

Here are the differences between swage fittings and reducers:

Swage Fittings

  • Connection: Primarily used for connecting wire rope or cable.
  • Installation: Involves compressing the fitting onto the wire rope or cable using a swaging tool, creating a permanent connection.
  • Materials: Available in various materials like steel, copper, and aluminum.
  • Applications: Common in rigging, lifting, and structural applications where a strong and reliable connection is crucial.

Reducers

  • Connection: Designed for joining pipes of different sizes.
  • Types: Can be concentric (maintains the centerline of the pipe) or eccentric (used when the top or bottom of the pipe needs to be aligned).
  • Materials: Made from a variety of metals, including steel, copper, brass, and aluminum.
  • Applications: Used in plumbing, HVAC/R systems, oil and gas, chemical processing, and other industries where pipe size transitions are necessary.

Key Differences

  • Purpose: Swage fittings are for joining wire rope or cable, while reducers are for connecting pipes of different sizes.
  • Installation: Swage fittings require a swaging tool for compression, while reducers are typically connected using threads, welding, or other methods.
  • Connection Type: Swage fittings create a permanent connection, while reducers may allow for disconnection depending on the type of connection used.

Swage fittings and reducers serve distinct purposes in joining different types of materials. Swage fittings are essential for secure connections in wire rope and cable applications, while reducers facilitate transitions between pipe sizes in various piping systems.

Crimping and swaging are both processes used to join materials by deforming one or both of them. However, they differ in their applications, the tools used, and the type of connection they create.

Crimping

  • Applications: Primarily used for joining wires or connecting fittings to hoses. Commonly seen in electrical work, automotive, and plumbing.  
  • Process: Involves compressing a fitting or connector around the wire or hose using a crimping tool. This creates a mechanical connection that holds the materials together.  
  • Tools: Crimping tools range from simple hand-held pliers to larger, more specialized machines.  
  • Connection: Creates a connection that is generally less strong than a swaged connection. It may also be more susceptible to loosening or failure under high stress or vibration.

Swaging

  • Applications: Used for creating strong and permanent connections in wire rope, cable, and some types of tubing. Commonly used in rigging, lifting, and structural applications.  
  • Process: Involves deforming a fitting around the wire rope or cable using a swaging tool or machine. This creates a very strong and reliable connection that can withstand high loads and stress.
  • Tools: Swaging tools can be hand-operated or powered, and are often specialized for specific applications and sizes of wire rope or cable.  
  • Connection: Creates a permanent connection that is typically stronger and more reliable than a crimped connection.  

Key Differences

  • Strength: Swaging generally creates a stronger and more durable connection than crimping.  
  • Permanence: Swaged connections are typically permanent, while some crimped connections may be able to be disassembled.
  • Applications: Crimping is more common for electrical connections and hoses, while swaging is preferred for high-stress applications involving wire rope or cable.
  • Tools: Crimping tools are often simpler and less expensive than swaging tools, which may require specialized equipment.
