80% less components

Fewer components, reduced volume, and shorter assembly time. Below is an example of one of many custom solutions developed by Hydnet – with a clear focus on reducing component count, space requirements, and assembly time.

How Hydnet can help you with customized solutions

Before customization:

• 3 manifolds
• 8 fittings
• 1 T-fitting
• 2 hoses

After Hydnet’s customized solution:

• 1 manifolds
• 2 fittings

Fittings not only mean more potential leakage points, but also longer assembly times and messy installations with hoses and piping – something most want to avoid. By integrating multiple functions into an application-specific manifold, you get a cleaner, safer, and more efficient solution.

In this specific customer case, the need was for a two-speed solution that was initially built with standard components. The function consisted of a directional valve and two fixed flow control valves with different settings – requiring 3 valve housings, 8 fittings, 1 T-fitting, and 2 hoses.

With Hydnet’s custom-designed manifold integrating all three functions into one block, only two fittings were needed. The result? Assembly time was reduced from approximately 1 hour to just 15 minutes.
