FAQ
What factors influence the 1/2 inch hydraulic hose price?
The price is determined by construction standard (e.g., SAE 100R2AT vs. 100R12), order volume, hose length, whether it's bulk hose or pre-made assemblies with fittings, and current raw material (rubber, steel) market costs.
Can this hose be used with water-based fluids?
Yes, the synthetic rubber tube is compatible with oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, as well as standard petroleum-based hydraulic oils. Always verify fluid compatibility for specific chemical media.
What is the minimum bend radius?
For a 1/2 inch SAE 100R2AT hose, the minimum recommended bend radius is typically around 5 inches (127 mm). Bending tighter than this can reduce hose life and potentially cause failure.
Do you offer hose assemblies with fittings?
Absolutely. We provide complete, ready-to-install assemblies. Specify your required fitting types (JIC, NPT, ORFS, etc.), thread size, and overall assembly length for a comprehensive solution and quote.
What is your lead time for bulk orders?
For standard specifications, we often ship from stock. Large custom orders typically have a lead time of 2-4 weeks. We provide clear timelines upon order confirmation to help you plan your project schedule.
