WARNING
FAILURE OR IMPROPER SELECTION OR IMPROPER USE OF HOSE, TUBING, FITTINGS,
ASSEMBLIES OR RELATED ACCESSORIES (“PRODUCTS”) CAN CAUSE DEATH, PERSONAL
INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE OR IMPROPER
SELECTION OR IMPROPER USE OF THESE PRODUCTS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:
• Fittings thrown off at high
speed.
• High velocity fuid discharge.
• Explosion or burning of the
conveyed fuid.
• Electrocution from high voltage
electric powerlines.
• Contact with suddenly moving or
falling objects that are controlled
by the conveyed fuid.
• Injections by high-pressure fuid
discharge.
• Dangerously whipping hose.
• Contact with conveyed fuids
that may be hot, cold, toxic or
otherwise injurious.
• Sparking or explosion caused
by static electricity buildup or
other sources of electricity.
• Sparking or explosion while
spraying paint or fammable
liquids.
Before selecting or using any of these products, it is important that you read and follow the instructions below.
Only hose from Parker’s Stratofex Products Division is approved for in fight aerospace applications, and no other
hose can be used for such in fight applications.

Hose, Tubing, Fittings and Related Accessories

Do not mix & match –
Components from different
manufacturers should not be
combined to create hose
assemblies (apart from rare
instances when both
manufacturers have approved
the exception). To mix and match
components is to increase the
risk of hose failure – a dangerous
situation regardless of setting
or application. Possible
consequences of hose failure
resulting from the use of
incompatible components
include:
• Fittings thrown off at
high speed
• High velocity fuid discharge
• Fluid injection injury
• Violently “whipping” hose
• Sparking or explosion from
sprayed fammable fuids
• Suddenly moving / falling
objects otherwise held
static by fuid pressure
The individual is solely responsible
for the hose assemblies he or she
fabricates. Fluid power profes-
sionals should abide by three
basic tenets when fabricating hose
assemblies:
• Only assemble hoses and
fttings of the same make
• Always use a crimper
approved by the manufacturer
of the hose and fttings
• Crimp only to the manufac-
turer’s specifcation
Parker’s recommendations are
consistent with SAE standard
J1273: Industry Consensus on
Best Practices for Using
Hydraulic Hose. The complete
technical paper, which includes
SAE-recommended practices for
hose assembly fabrication, can be
purchased from www.SAE.org.
