Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between 1 Wire Braid and 2 Wire Braid for a 1/8" hose?
The primary difference is pressure rating and flexibility. A 1 Wire Braid (SAE 100R1AT) hose is suitable for high-pressure applications but offers greater flexibility. A 2 Wire Braid (SAE 100R2AT) hose is designed for very high-pressure applications and offers increased burst strength but is slightly less flexible. Selection depends on your system's maximum operating pressure.
Can this hose be used with other media besides hydraulic oil?
Yes, this 1 8 hydraulic hose is typically compatible with a range of petroleum-based oils, water-glycol fluids, and lubricants. However, compatibility with specific fluids like phosphate esters, Skydrol, or certain chemicals must be verified prior to use. Always consult our technical datasheet for detailed fluid compatibility information.
Do you supply the hose alone, or can you provide complete assemblies?
We provide both options. You can purchase the 1/8 inch hydraulic hose in bulk reels or cut lengths. Alternatively, we highly recommend our custom assembly service, where we crimp the specified end fittings to your required length, providing a leak-proof, ready-to-install assembly that saves you time and ensures optimal performance.
What certifications do your hoses carry for international trade?
Our hoses are manufactured to internationally recognized standards such as SAE J517 and ISO 18752. We can provide material certifications and test reports upon request. For specific regional certifications (e.g., CE marking for certain applications), please contact our sales team to discuss your requirements.
What is your typical lead time for orders?
For standard 1 8 hydraulic hose products and assemblies, we maintain stock for quick dispatch. Lead times vary based on order volume and customization. Generally, container loads are prepared within 10-15 working days. We provide clear timelines with every quotation and prioritize efficient communication throughout the process.
