The right hose for the right application is critical to ensure personal safety and prevent hose failure due to an application that exceeds the pressure rating of the HoseKit hose or incompatibility. On every hydraulic hose there is a layline which is written information in the form of ink or an impression on the hose. The layline will identify the specification (either US or European). This is how you identify a HoseKit will work in your application. 

 

HoseKits are designed for hydraulic oil only. Non-flammable hydraulic oil also known as Phosphate Ester Hose (SKYDROL) is not compatible with this hose. HoseKit hydraulic hose is made from a synthetic oil resistant rubber tube and oil and an ozone resistant rubber abrasion resistant cover. All fittings and adapters are plated steel for corrosion resistance. Operating temperature of the hose is -40C/-40F to 100C/212F. This hose is conductive. Never use a conductive hose in a non-conductive application.

 

If the specification of your lay-line matches any of the following, the chart will let you know if our kits will work for you. If there is any question, please contact us for clarification.

Our hose and fittings are designed to be compatible with each otherl. Mixing of kit items and other hose and fittings is strictly prohibited. Fittings are designed to fit our hose only and are not compatible with other sources. 

 

HoseKit hose is NOT recommended for replacement on specialty applications or 4 wire /6 wire replacement.
