General Construction-

Construction standards may vary between specific thermoplastic hoses. All hose

layers however, are bonded to provide maximum kink resistance and flexibility through a wide range of

applications. Tightly packed fiber braided reinforcement provides strength for optimum performance.

Specific braid materials, wire reinforcements, spiral reinforcements, and distinguishing features are clearly

called out in this section. Perforated and non-perforated hoses are available based on application.

WITH NOTED EXCEPTIONS, Parflex hoses are engineered and manufactured to a 4:1 burst pressure to

working pressure ratio that follows SAE design standards. Never operate a hose beyond its published

working pressure.

(Working Pressure x 4 =Minimum Burst)
