Will this WeatherGRIP Z series hose end work with a standard H277 hose?
Answer by: Customer Support on Nov 11, 2025, 7:50 AM
Yes, this WeatherGRIP Z series hose end is specifically designed to accommodate H277 or H435 hoses. It's made for general purpose, low and medium pressure hydraulics.
Question by: Norm J on Jun 25, 2025, 11:12 AM
Got a setup running H435 hose in a spot where there's some real shock risk. This fitting gonna hold up for that?
Answer by: Customer Support on Jun 26, 2025, 2:07 PM
H435 is one of the two hose types this fitting is built around, so you're in good shape there. The Z series was put together specifically for low and medium pressure general purpose hydraulic work where shock hazards are part of the picture. Pair that with the Dura-Kote plating on the outside and you've got something that's going to resist corrosion and hold up through the kind of stress cycles that come with shock-prone environments.
