Note: Hose diameters are measured in the bore, but the R5 hoses the outer diameter of the inner tube is measured as the hose diameter. All hoses must be supplied with fittings cleaned and capped, numbered and supplied with a test certificate stating the hose was tested to twice the hose working pressure. This is to test the integrity between the hose and the fitting. (Note: the burst pressure of a hose is 4 times the working pressure)

Both skived and no-skived types are available, no lubricant must be applied to fittings when being assembled. Rubbing alcohol may be used as a lubricant.

Oil Hydraulics Rubber Hose Textile Braiding (Cotton braiding). SAE-100 R5.

Note: May be used for oil applications, when used for air - air will effuse through the inner tube and pass through the rubber covering over the reinforcing escaping through the textile covering not causing any blistering to outing covering. Rubber covered hoses must not be used for air or gas applications which may result in blistering of the outer rubber covering as air effuses through the inner tube. the R5 hoses the outer diameter of the inner tube is measured as the hose diameter.
