Frequently Asked Questions
  • What is stainless steel braided PTFE hose used for?

    This hose is suitable for compatible fuel, oil, coolant and hydraulic applications. The PTFE inner hose provides chemical and temperature resistance, while the stainless steel outer braid provides reinforcement and protection against mechanical wear.

  • What is the difference between PTFE hose and rubber braided hose?

    This hose uses a smooth-bore PTFE inner rather than a rubber inner hose. It also requires fittings specifically designed for PTFE braided hose, which use a compression olive and socket during assembly. Rubber braided hose fittings are not compatible.

  • Which fittings should I use with this hose?

    Use compatible braided PTFE hose fittings. Do not use rubber braided hose fittings or push-lock hose fittings with this hose.

  • Can I use this PTFE hose for petrol and ethanol fuels?

    Yes. The specified compatible fluids include E5 and E10 petrol, E85, ethanol, methanol, diesel and race fuels.

  • What is the maximum operating pressure?

    The maximum operating pressure depends on the selected hose size: AN6 is rated to 3,000 PSI (207 bar), AN8 to 2,500 PSI (172 bar), and AN10 to 2,000 PSI (138 bar). Refer to the Specifications for the corresponding burst pressures.

  • What temperature range can the hose operate at?

    The specified operating temperature range is -70°C to +250°C (-94°F to +482°F).

  • How do I choose the correct PTFE hose size?

    Choose the hose size according to the flow requirements, connection sizes and routing requirements of the installation. The Specifications show the internal diameter, outside diameter, minimum bend radius and pressure rating for each available hose size.

  • What is the minimum bend radius?

    The minimum bend radius depends on hose size: 45mm for AN6, 60mm for AN8 and 65mm for AN10. Do not route the hose more tightly than the specified minimum bend radius.

  • Is the PTFE inner hose conductive?

    No. The current specification identifies this product as having a non-conductive PTFE liner.

  • How is the hose supplied?

    The hose is available in 0.5 metre increments and can be supplied in continuous lengths up to 20 metres.
