FAQ
What is the main difference between a 2SC and a 2SN hydraulic hose?
The terms are often used interchangeably, as both refer to a two-wire braid hose. 2SC is the common industry designation aligning with SAE 100R2, while 2SN is the equivalent standard under the EN 856 (European Norm). Our hose is manufactured to meet both specifications.
Can the 2SC hose be used for fuel lines?
Yes, the synthetic rubber inner tube of our 2SC hydraulic hose is compatible with diesel fuel and many lubricants. However, it is not typically recommended for gasoline. Always verify fluid compatibility for your specific application.
How do I determine the correct size and length I need?
Size is determined by the inner diameter (ID), which should match your system's port and flow requirements. Length should be measured along the intended path, allowing sufficient slack for movement and avoiding tight bends below the minimum bend radius. Our technical datasheets provide all necessary dimensions.
Do you supply the 2SC hose with fittings attached?
Yes. We offer this 2SC hydraulic hose as bare hose or as fully assembled hose lines. We can crimp a wide variety of standard and metric fittings to your specified length, providing a leak-proof, ready-to-install solution.
What is the typical shelf life of this hose?
When stored properly in a cool, dry, dark place away from ozone sources, our 2SC hydraulic hose has a shelf life of up to 10 years. Always inspect the hose for any signs of degradation before putting it into service after prolonged storage.
