In honor of the United States’ 250th anniversary, we are highlighting industrious Americans who have contributed to the development of the many industries we serve. Before the Brooklyn Bridge became an icon, it was an “impossible” idea. John Augustus Roebling designed it — but never saw it built. His son, Washington Roebling, took over, only to be sidelined by illness from the job itself. And then Emily Roebling, Washington Roebling's wife stepped in — teaching herself engineering and quietly leading the project to completion. No spotlight. No shortcuts. Just relentless commitment to the work. In 1883, the bridge opened. Emily was the first to cross. Some of the greatest things our nation builds aren’t the result of one person’s vision, but the families and generations who carry it forward.

Once you have your tubing or hose, you’ll need fittings to go along with it. Fittings connect the hose or tubing to the rest of the setup, creating a secure, leak-free seal that keeps everything running efficiently. The right fitting depends on system pressure and the type of hose or tubing being used. At Kimball Midwest, we have hundreds of fittings to choose from depending on the job at hand: https://hubs.li/Q04dKpGS0

When it comes to moving fluids, hose and tubing are where it all starts. They contain and direct flow under pressure and must match the application. Hose and tubing may seem similar, but each has unique features. Start here to learn more about fluid flow: https://hubs.li/Q04dKz4J0

Because hydraulic systems operate under extreme pressure, heat and movement, long-term performance often depends on discipline in both product selection and installation. https://hubs.li/Q04fPxmJ0
