Hose and Fittings

What Hose and Fittings does

Hose and Fittings, Inc. operates an industrial B2B e-commerce platform (shop.hoseandfittings.com) that distributes more than 125,000 SKUs of hydraulic and pneumatic fluid power components — hoses, hose ends, fittings, tubing, clamps, couplers, valves, monitors, pneumatic products, and seals — to industrial equipment operators, MRO and maintenance buyers, DOT trucking operators, and individual consumers. The company is the online retail division of Power Components Corporation (PCC), a hydraulics and power-transmission distributor founded in 1978 that was among Parker Hannifin's earliest and largest Parker Stores. HoseandFittings.com was launched in 1999 as an e-commerce extension of PCC's brick-and-mortar business and operates from a 58,000 square foot warehouse plus walk-in storefront at 1936 W. Main St., Fort Wayne, Indiana.

The platform is built around a configurable product catalog, a Build-A-Hose online assembly tool that lets customers specify hose type, length, fittings, and accessories, and an extensive proprietary technical documentation library covering North American and international thread standards (NPT, JIC 37°, SAE 45°, BSPP, BSPT, DIN 2353, JIS, and others), chemical resistance charts across 18+ hose compound families, torque specifications, and ISO/DIN assembly instructions. Distribution is multi-channel: the e-commerce storefront, a physical walk-in counter (Monday-Friday 7am-6pm, Saturday 8am-noon EST), and inside sales via the 'Hose Guru' phone line staffed Monday-Friday 8am-5pm EST.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sales at quote-based pricing with volume discounts, custom hose assembly manufacturing, and ancillary repair services for hose and fitting equipment. The company employs 11-50 people, is privately held under PCC, ships to the Continental 48 States and internationally, and has no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or AI/ML capability footprint.

Broad incumbents

• MSC Industrial: Major industrial metalworking and MRO distributor with a substantial fluid-power offering and national distribution footprint. Overlaps with Hose and Fittings on hoses, fittings, and hydraulic accessories sold to industrial maintenance customers.
• Dixon Valve & Coupling: Manufacturer and supplier of industrial hose fittings, couplings, and fluid-handling products — also a brand carried by Hose and Fittings. Comparable as a fluid-power components supplier, though Dixon operates primarily as a manufacturer with broader channel reach.
• Grainger: Largest U.S. industrial MRO distributor with an extensive fluid-power category (hoses, fittings, valves) sold through a national e-commerce and branch network. Competes with Hose and Fittings on selection, scale, and next-day delivery, but operates across a much broader MRO scope.
• Applied Industrial Technologies: Large industrial distributor with a fluid-power platform (hoses, fittings, hydraulic components) sold via service centers and e-commerce. Comparable product offering with greater geographic scale and enterprise-account capabilities.

Direct peers

• Hydraulic Supply Company (HSC): Specialty distributor of hydraulic and pneumatic hoses, fittings, adapters, and related fluid-power components with both retail locations and e-commerce. Closely comparable in product mix, customer base (industrial maintenance and OEM), and hybrid online/branch model.
• McMaster-Carr: The dominant U.S. e-commerce catalog distributor of industrial components including hoses, fittings, tubing, valves, and seals. Directly comparable to Hose and Fittings in catalog-breadth, technical specification depth, and online-first B2B model serving industrial buyers.
• Discount Hydraulic Hose: Online-focused distributor of hydraulic hoses, fittings, and adapters serving industrial customers. Closely comparable as a smaller digital-native competitor in the same niche, competing on price and selection for hose assemblies.
• Brennan Industries: Manufacturer and supplier of hydraulic fittings, adapters, and flanges sold through distribution. Comparable as a fittings-focused supplier whose products overlap with Hose and Fittings' fittings category.
• Pirtek: Hydraulic and pneumatic hose service franchise network offering on-site hose assembly, repair, and replacement. Directly comparable to Hose and Fittings' custom-assembly and repair services and its industrial MRO customer base.

Regional players

• RYCO Hydraulics: Manufacturer and distributor of hydraulic hoses, fittings, and adapters primarily serving Australia and surrounding markets. Comparable product portfolio in hydraulic hose and fittings, though geographic focus differs from Hose and Fittings' North American base.
