Parker Hannifin’s Fast-Stor® Dura-Flex™
is a new twin-lined non-conductive
hydraulic hose that offers extreme
flexibility due to a coiled design, even in
cold temperatures. The coiled design
is self-retracting, which aids in ease of
handling and storage.
Unlike competitive rubber hoses that
are susceptible to ozone degradation,
cracking, abrasion, and moisture
ingression; Dura-Flex™ has a UV and
ozone-resistant jacket that prevents
such problems. This thermoplastic hose
is 28% lighter than competing rubber
hose assemblies. Dura-Flex™ exceeds
SAE J517 for less than 50 micro-amps
leakage at 75,000 volts per foot. Dura-
Flex™ hose maintains electrical nonconductivity,
keeping the operator safe
from electric shock. Some competitive
rubber hoses do not meet SAE
standards, yet claim to meet their own
specification of 100 micro-amps leakage
or less. These products cannot maintain
compliance to industry standards for
electrical non-conductivity after exposure
to field use.
Product Features:
• Fast-Stor® Dura-Flex™ is 28%
lighter than competitive rubber
products, reducing operator fatigue
• Coiled design significantly increases
flexibility even in cold temperatures
• Twin-line bonded construction
eliminates the need for tie-wraps,
thus increasing handling safety
• Slippery, high abrasion resistant
jacket resists cracking, UV damage,
and extends service life
• Variety of end connections that
reduce twisting strain on the hose and
operator
• Smooth, non-porous jacket repels
contamination and debris that can
lead to a decrease in electrical
insulation
• Bend restrictors allow hose to bend
freely while reducing kink potential
• Self-retracting design makes for easier
handling and storage
Parker has the only tool hose for insulated work applications that consistently meets or exceeds SAE
J517 requirement for less than 50 micro-amps leakage. Fast-Stor® Dura-Flex™ is not just flexible, it
offers durability you can rely upon.
