Hydraulic adaptors are mechanical components used to connect different types, sizes, or configurations of hydraulic hoses, pipes, or tubes in hydraulic systems. Their primary purpose is to ensure a secure, leak-free transition between incompatible fittings or components. Our extensive ranges include the common types of Hydraulic Adaptors used in industry.
DIN 2353, Compression fittings are commonly used in industrial hydraulics and pneumatics, especially for applications requiring a leak-tight seal without O-rings. They are known for their robustness, reliability, and easy assembly, particularly in hydraulic and pneumatic systems involving steel tubes.
Quick release couplings (also called quick disconnects or quick couplers) are connectors designed to quickly connect or disconnect fluid lines without the need for tools. They’re commonly used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems where ease of maintenance or frequent connection changes are required.
When someone refers to "bespoke parts", they’re talking about components that are custom-designed and manufactured to meet specific requirements that standard, off-the-shelf parts can't fulfil. Burnett & Hillman offer Tailor-made components to customers specific requirements. Contact us and we can support you through your process.

From its beginnings in the village of Wrington, just south of Bristol International Airport, manufacturing Hydraulic Adaptors and Fittings to order. Burnett and Hillman began to introduce further ranges, styles, and to stock standard adaptors for the industry. Due to the demand for the adaptors being manufactured, growth has been steady and assured. Today our extensive range of adaptors includes stock in excess of 3000 different variations of BSP, JIC, SAE, Metric, NPTF, NPSM and ORFS made from mild steel (BS EN 10277 : 1&3 – 11SMnPb30).
We also manufacture special parts – a number of customers orders consist of special line parts and customised solutions – not only in our mild steel but in brass and stainless. This diversity of ranges and sizes gives Burnett & Hillman a distinct advantage over other suppliers.
In keeping with the high level of quality that customers have become accustomed, Burnett and Hillman achieved BSI registration in the early 90’s and are currently ISO 9001 approved – Signalling its unwavering commitment to quality and continual improvement.
Burnett and Hillman relocated into a 33,000 sq ft. Purpose built premises on the outskirts of the village in August 1998. The new factory which incorporates innovations such as an automated underground swarf removal and oil reclamation system, can produce in excess of 36,000 components per day including finished assemblies. Our machinery capacity allows us to keep up with all our customers’ demands for standard and special items.
The market for hydraulic adaptors is diverse. Hydraulics are used in almost every facet of industry; Agriculture, Transport, Waste, Defence, Manufacturing, Marine, Construction, Mining, Engineering. Hydraulic power plays a part in keeping these and other industries going all over the world.
The market can be divided into 3 main user groups – Original Equipment Manufacturers (O.E.M), Large Consumers and ‘End User’. We supply these markets either directly or through static distributors, operating from trade warehouses providing products ‘over the counter’ to their customers and in more recent years through mobile on site hydraulic repair and replacement services and more recently catalogue distributors.
