Parker's Lubrication Hoses Help Customers Reduce Maintenance Costs
Share:
Ravenna, OH - Parker Hannifin's Lubrication Hoses from the Parflex Division are specifically designed for grease and lubrication, making it easy to properly perform quick and effective preventive maintenance on all types of equipment. These hoses are compact and eliminate gallons of unnecessary 'in-line' grease versus larger bore rubber hoses. In addition, they are a light weight and highly flexible alternative to traditional rubber hoses. When replacing rubber, Parflex HLB hose can save $10-$20 per line in reduced component and installation labor costs. Also, the unique GK Bulkhead hose fittings, with an integrated nipple, can save an additional $5-$10 per zerk connection.
Parflex HLB hose operates in temperatures from -40°F up to +212°F. For extreme temperatures (-100°F up to +450°F) Parflex 919 PTFE hose can be outfitted with the same style bulkhead grease zerk fitting as the HLB hose. The wide temperature range of PTFE hose makes it ideal for operating in extreme temperatures below -40°F and up to 212°F. PTFE hose is ideal for high temperature lube applications, such as paving equipment, where rubber hose will bake and crack.
