Parker hose puts on the pressure

Parker Hannifin
Parker Hannifin’s Hose Products Division has introduced the 721TC Extreme Hose for high-pressure applications requiring superior flexibility.

The hose features a one-half SAE 100R12 minimum bend radius which means easy installation in tight spaces and less hose used, the company says. It has a 4000 psi constant working pressure in sizes 3/8-inch ID through 1-inch ID; 3000 psi in the 1-1/4-inch ID; and 2500 psi in the 1-1/2-inch and 2-inch ID, and can handle a variety of petroleum base hydraulic fluids, water/oil emulsion and water/glycol hydraulic fluids.

Hose construction includes a neoprene rubber inner tube surrounded by four spiral layers of steel reinforcement. An MSHA-accepted black synthetic Tough Cover (TC) provides oil, weather, and abrasion resistance, and significantly prolongs hose life thereby reducing system downtime, the company says.

When combined with Parker 71 Series Monoblok fittings, Parker 721TC provides the utmost in leak protection. The hose is compatible with Parker’s Parkrimp family of crimpers and can be crimped without removing the hose cover.
