Introduction
Composite Hose
Composite petrochemical hose construction—
featuring inner and outer helical wires, with layers of
fabrics, flms and tubes sandwiched in-between—is
durable, economical, flexible, lightweight and
resistant to abrasion, kinking and vibration. Parker
composite hose assembly systems—using a new
generation of hose constructions, innovative dry
seal coupling technology and Parker crimping
equipment—save time and cost due to quick
fabrication, easy installation and superior long-
lasting performance.
Parker composite hose—manufactured in a state-
of-the-art production environment—is a unique
alternative to traditional rubber and metal hose,
making it suitable for a wide array of petrochemical
fuids in loading/unloading, processing, transfer and
transport applications.
We have also introduced an innovative dry seal
coupling technology, a transformational process that
reduces composite hose assembly fabrication time,
minimizes downtime and enhances the appearance
of fnished assemblies. Parker composite hose dry
seal assemblies can be supplied to the application
in a fraction of the time.
In the composite hose market, outdated designs,
outmoded materials, hand-built manufacturing
technology and labor-intensive hose assembly
fabrication processes are prevalent. The old way of
doing things produces the same old results: high
costs, delayed deliveries and inconsistent quality.
The modern Parker composite hose assembly
system provides sharp contrast with a performance-
engineered, computer-controlled, high quality,
quickly delivered product. Refer to the Composite
Hose section of this catalog or Composite Hose
Catalog 4805 for specifc product information.
Custom Made Hose (CMH)
CustomMade Hose applications are found in almost
every industry, usually requiring special tube and
cover compounds or thicknesses, large inside
diameters (up to 60" ID), and built-in nipples and
fanges or soft cuff ends. Parker is the largest full-
service Custom Made Hose supplier in the United
States, with our master manufacturing location in
Salisbury, North Carolina.We specialize in designing
and fabricating application-engineered hoses and
assemblies, relying on our extensive experience in
the art and science of hose design, engineering,
materials and production.
Our experienced hose designers determine the
unique requirements of the application and design a
hose solution suited for the specifc circumstances.
Utilizing computer-controlled lathes that ensure
consistent wrap pressure and material overlap,
our master hose builders complete the project by
integrating traditional hand-built hose craftsmanship
with modern technology to fabricate an assembly
capable of performing in even the most demanding
applications.
