Chlorobutyl Barber Pole SteamHose
Non-Skive E-Z Crimp
Series 7285
Series 7285 is a distinctive hose designed for long-lasting steam service—one of the
toughest applications for hose, where the hot-cold/wet-dry cycling attacks rubber
compounds externally as well as internally. Te hose construction incorporates a premium,
high-performance chlorobutyl tube which resists heat and popcorning, and a wire braid
reinforcement for crush-resistant durability, kink resistance and a path to conduct a static
electrical charge to ground. Te EPDM cover resists abrasion, cracking, hardening and
ozone, and the red/black barber pole cover provides color-coded identifcation from all
angles and great distances. Series 7285 is qualifed with Parker non-skive crimp couplings
for easy and quick assembly fabrication as well as maintenance-free service.

WARNINGS!
Failure to properly inspect, maintain, test and use steam hose assemblies may result in property damage, personal injury or death. Refer to
ARPM publication IP-11-1, “Guide for Use, Testing and Inspection of Steam Hose.”
Water changes to hot water and phases of steam when subjected to heat and pressure. The greater the pressure, the higher the
temperature required to achieve and maintain a steam phase. If steam escapes, dangerous quantities of heat may be released very
suddenly. Exposure to hot water, low pressure steam and high pressure steam may cause severe scalding or fatal burns.
Use only hoses designated for steam service for steam applications.
Prior to use with detergents or rust inhibitors, refer to the chemical guide in this catalog or contact Parker.
Drain steam hose after each use to reduce the possibility of hose popcorning while in service.
Couplings attached with bands or clamps may reduce the working pressure of the hose assembly to less than the maximum rated working
pressure of the hose. Refer to the NAHAD Industrial Hose Assembly Guidelines.
