WIRE BRAID

RECOMMENDED FOR High–pressure hydraulic oil lines. Exceeds ISO 18752 Grade B, SAE 100R17 and ISO 11237 R17 working pressure, minimum bend radius requirements and performance requirements of EN 857 1SC. M3K hose has smaller exterior dimensions and significantly tighter bend radius than other SAE 100R1 and 100R2 hose.

TUBE Black, oil resistant, synthetic rubber (Nitrile). See Hose Stock Characteristics.

REINFORCEMENT Braided, high–tensile steel wire. –4, –5, –6 and –8 sizes are one braid; –10, –12 and –16 sizes are two braid.

COVER Black, oil, abrasion and weather resistant MegaTuff^® cover with color coded layline. Also available with unique abrasion resistant XtraTuff^® or Standard covers. See Hose Stock  Characteristics.

TEMPERATURE RANGE –40°F to +212°F (–40°C to +100°C). For water emulsions see Temperature Limits Table.

COUPLING RECOMMENDATION GlobalSpiral™ Couplings (–6 through –16) (G20) Section E MegaCrimp^® Couplings (G25) Section G Stainless Steel Braid Couplings (G17) Section H (See Crimp Data Manual 428–7365 or eCrimp) Meets Flame Resistance Acceptance Designation “MSHA 2G” and ISO 11237 R17. MegaTuff^® hose lasts up to 300 times longer than standard hose during hose–to–hose and hose–to–metal abrasion tests per ISO 6945. Tested to Industry Leading 600,000 impulse cycles.
