Series 7243
Series 7243 is a textile-covered, small diameter, extremely durable liquefed petroleum
gas (LPG)/propane transfer hose in applications such as fuel line hose on forklifts and
utility equipment. Te hose meets all Underwriter Laboratories (UL21) requirements.
Te construction incorporates high tensile stainless steel braided reinforcement for
superior strength, durability and kink resistance. Te textile cover is resistant to abrasion,
mild chemicals, and ozone. Series 7243 is qualifed with Parker crimp couplings and is
compatible with Parker Series 20 feld reattachable fttings.
NOTE:
Refer to the Safety and Technical section of this catalog for safety, handling and use
information.
Series 7243 and Natural Gas:
Te molecules of natural gas are small, enhancing their
ability to permeate through standard rubber hose constructions. Te permeation process is
more rapid as the working pressure increases, and natural gas accumulates with potentially
dangerous consequences. Series 7243 may be used for natural gas service, but ONLY under
ALL of the following conditions:
• Te application must be in a well-ventilated environment: Outdoors, or indoors with
signifcant continuous air movement.
• Series 7243 is not to replace fxed/rigid pipe where that material ismore appropriate due
to reduced permeation and overall strength and durability. Use rigid pipe, non-permeable
tubing or hose with barrier constructions to convey natural gas whenever possible.
Series 7243 and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG):
Series 7243 is not to be used for any
CNG application, including fuel dispensing, on-board vehicle fuel lines, or fuel transfer.
