This
is a textile hose with synthetic rubber inner tube, one layer of textile braid
reinforcement and a synthetic rubber outer layer.
Assembly of hose to fitting is very simple, the fitting is simply pushed into
the hose, this hose has the reinforcing braid woven in such a way that the grip
on the fir tree type fitting increases as the force trying to push it out increases.
This hose has had a resurgence of popularity recently, especially since aluminium
fittings were introduced. Some examples of this hose have a 150°C rating, however
instances of the fitting blowing out of the hose at extreme temperatures have
been reported on some makes (not Aeroquip), extra clamping should be considered
where very high temperatures are involved.
This type of hose and fitting can be interchangeable between brands but only
genuine Aeroquip assemblies can be guaranteed. We can provide a stainless
steel braid covering for these hoses, this does not impart any greater strength
only enhanced appearance and abrasion resistance, factory swaged ferrules or
finisher such as a “Pro clamp ® “ must be used to hide frayed ends.
Our recommended all purpose push on hose. Made in the USA. has a very pretty blue woven textile cover or more conservative black and the class leading AQP® high temperature elastomer liner. Complies with FIA regulations. Use for all oil, power steering return hose, also petrol, air and water.

We offer 4 types of fitting.
1. The genuine Aeroquip product in plated steel, except their JIC straight fittings are brass, they have brass hose finishers for JIC, plastic red for BSP and black for metric.
2. The more cost effective but similar Moquip steel fitting with red plastic finishers for all.
3. Aeroquip aluminium fittings either red and blue anodised or nickel plated with matching finisher. The only fittings (red & blue only) in our range that are available in 120°,150° & 180° degree swept tube versions. In JIC only.
4. The similar Moquip aluminium fittings. 45° and 90° versions are of compact design with tight radii for use where space is limited. In JIC only.
