Hoses and fittings terminology Hydraulic hose is a full-value part of the hydraulic system transmitting the hydraulic power – not just conveying a fluid – and deserves adequate attention, just like the other hydraulic components which generate, consume or control that power. Furthermore, it is just hydraulic hose assemblies that are usu- ally most exposed to various extreme conditions in which they have to retain full functionality and assure serviceability of the hydraulic system and safety of the operators. In spite of that, the importance of the hydraulic hose is often overlooked and underestimated. This catalogue is to provide guidelines to correct hoses and fittings selection and hose assembly manufacturing and to highlight the most important safety aspects for its service in the field. Aa-3 Tube Cover Steel wire braided reinforcement Insulation/ Separation layer Tube – inner layer of rubber com- pound with chemical and physical properties to be long-term resistant to the fluid and working conditions. Reinforcement – 1 or 2 (exception- ally 3) layers of braided textile fibre or highly tensile steel wire or 4 or 6 layers of spiralled very highly tensile steel wire to bear high pressure but allow flexibility of the hose. Cover – outer layer of rubber com- pound with chemical and physical properties to protect the reinforce- ment against ambient conditions and mechanical damage. Depending on the pressure level we classify the hydraulic hoses in this catalogue into 4 groups: • Push-Lok – low-pressure hoses with self-grip connection to fittings • Low pressure and Transportation – 1 and 2 textile yarn braided and 1 steel wire braided hoses • Medium pressure – 1 and 2 steel wire braided hoses and suction hoses • High pressure – 3 steel wire braided hoses and 4 or 6 steel wire spiral hoses Depending on the method of hose and fittings assembling we offer 2 basic product concepts (integrated product lines of hoses, fittings, assembling equipment and know-how): • Parkrimp – complete range of braided and spiralled hose, not needing removing (skiving) of the hose cover before assembling. – Compact Spiral hose with patented internal and external “Bite the Wire” technology. • ParLock – specific range of 4 and 6 spiral hose for extreme applications which require skiving of the cover and for bigger sizes also of the inner tube. Hose and fittings terminology Hydraulic rubber hoses Aa-4 Nipple (insert etc.) – the body of the fitting whereof one end is coupled to the counterpart of a hydraulic component (termination end), while the other end is inserted into the hose (tail end). To assure compatibility with the counterpart, the designs of termination ends are specified by inter- national standards. The main role of the tail end is to provide durable sealing between fitting and hose. Shell (socket, ferrule etc.) – the outer part of the fitting provides mechanical connection of the fitting with the hose. To assure a strong hold of the hose reinforcement, shells are generally crimped on to the hose during assembly. The designs of tails and shells are not standardized but they are in the sole responsibility of the manu- facturer. Due to this reason fittings of various manufactur- ers are not automatically compatible with hoses of other manufacturers - unless the combination is fully tested acc. to the relevant international hose standards! This is also imposed by all international standards for hydraulic hose usage practices and fluid power systems safety! In this catalogue we offer 3 kinds of fittings: • Push-Lok – special nipples connectable to Push-Lok hose without any shells. • 1piece fittings – pre-crimped shells on nipples make the as- sembling of hose with fittings easier, more effective and reliable. • 2piece fittings (for ParLock hoses) – for extreme applications requiring full metal- to-metal connection of the hose reinforcement with the shell or even with the nipple (external or external plus internal skiving). • 2piece fittings (for Parkrimp hoses size -40 and -48) – for big bore applications Please use adjustable crimpers only (47 series nipple and 10048 shell) Except Push-Lok, all fittings in this catalogue are crimped and include: • All Parker 1piece fittings – suitable for the Parkrimp product line Interlock product line • All 2piece fittings in this catalogue – suitable for the ParLock product line and Parkrimp product line (size -40 and -48 only) Hose fittings Hose and fittings terminology Note Parker Hannifin also offers a limited range of 2piece Parkrimp No-Skive fittings but being special products they are not included in this catalogue. For more information about 2piece fittings, please contact our Division Helpdesk. Note Parker hoses have to be assembled with Parker fittings only! Crimping Parker hoses with fittings of other manufacturers may have serious impact on the hose assembly functionality and safety! Aa-5 Hose Hint Never mix & match one manu facturer’s fittings with hoses from another manu- facturer! Parker hoses, fittings, as- sembling equipment and know-how are designed as an integrated system, guaranteeing the utmost product performance, reli- ability and safety! It is the interplay between the fitting tail and shell designs and the hose design with its material properties that primarily determine performance, service, durability and safety of the final hose assembly. Yet compatibility of hose and fitting can- not be just theoretically projected. It requires ex- haustive and repetitive laboratory and field tests and further tuning of the designs. Non-compatibility of hose with fittings or combi- nation of hose and fittings from different manu- facturers, do not only influence performance of the hose assembly, they often lead to hose failure with serious health or life-threatening consequences! For this reason the main interna- tional standards for hydraulic hose usage practices and fluid power systems safety strictly warn not to mix hose with fittings from differ- ent manufacturers! Parker Hannifin has not approved products of any other manufacturer for combination with Parker hoses and/ or Parker fittings and guarantees full compat- ibility, reliability and safety only for combina- tions of genuine Parker parts selected and assembled in accordance with the guide- lines included in this catalogue! Working Pressure – the pressure for which the hose assembly is designed to operate over its whole service life - provided the other parameters (temperature in particular) stay within reasonable limits. Burst Pressure – the pressure which statically applied causes destruction of the hose. Techni- cal standards for hydraulic hoses define the burst pressure to be equal to or higher than 4 times the working pressure (design factor 4). This rule and the burst pressure in general serve to hose manufacturers for design and testing of the hose only! If you happen to know the burst pressure of certain hose, never use this rule backwards to deduce its working pressure! 4 x = For apparently static applications (e.g. with hand pumps or water jetting) consult the Working Pressure with your Parker Field Representative or with our Technical Support. Hose assembly Pressure rating Hose and fittings terminology Hydraulic hose is a component transmitting hydraulic power and the pressure is obviously the main physi- cal quantity determining the hydraulic power. For hydraulic hoses the following pressure ratings are used: Aa-6 Unit of measure The most commonly used unit of measure for hydraulic pressure worldwide is MPa (Mega Pascal) – used also in this catalogue. In the US and in Anglo-Saxon markets also psi (pounds per square inch) is officially used and many Europe- an producers, users and even technical standards still also use bar. For the conversion chart of various units of measure see page Ab-20. Remember the working pressure 1. The hose assembly working pressure is given by the weakest “link in the chain” - i.e. by the lowest of the working pressures of the hose and of both fittings. Do not forget to check the working pres- sure of the fittings when selecting components for a hose assembly (see pages Ab-9 to Ab-11 of this catalogue)! 2. The real hydraulic system operating pressure is not given by the system components setup but by the application which introduces into the system peaks and surges or by the functioning of the system itself (rapid closing or opening) which induces spikes and pulses. Such occurrences are detectable only by sensitive electronic pres- sure gauges and are usually not fully or not at all filtered out by safety or relief valves and exert excessive strain on the hydraulic system – hoses and tubes first of all! 3. The hose assembly working pressure must always be equal to or higher than the real hydraulic system operating pressure incl. all peaks, surges, spikes and pulses! 4 x = In order to assure mutual compatibility, producers of hydraulic equipment, producers of machines and also international technical standards profess certain preferred pressure levels: MPa 21 28 35 42 bar 210 280 350 420 psi 3000 4000 5000 6000 Pressure rating Hose and fittings terminology Hose Hint Working pressure is a dynamic parameter, burst pressure is a static parameter. High burst pressure does not mean high working pressure! Hose Hint For highly demanding applications (dynamic pressure, high number of pressure cycles, high temperature etc.): • Select hose with much higher working pressure than officially requested • Select multispiral hose instead of braided or ParLock instead of Parkrimp No-Skive • Select all of that in order to increase service life and safety! Aa-7 The other parameter determining the hydraulic power in direct proportion is the flow rate – i.e. the fluid velocity. However, too high fluid velocity gives rise to turbulence, pressure drops and heating up of the fluid, causing excessive ageing of hoses and other components or even their damage. To keep the fluid velocity below certain limits but achieve the required flow rate, the size of the hose has to be defined appropriately (see Flow Capacity Chart on page Ab-22). As the first technical standards for hose came from the USA, dimensions of hose are defined in inches and hose sizes are expressed in inches or from inch-derived units. Global companies – such as Parker – use dash sizes (-1 = 1/16”), while the European standards use DIN-based DN (diameter nominal) sizes. dash inch DN mm -3 3/16 5 4.8 -4 1/4 6 6.4 -5 5/16 8 7.9 -6 3/8 10 9.5 -8 1/2 12 12.7 -10 5/8 16 15.9 -12 3/4 19 19.1 -16 1 25 25.4 -20 1 1/4 31 31.8 -24 1 1/2 38 38.1 -32 2 51 50.8 -40 2 1/2 63 63.5 -48 3 76 76.2 I.D.

High temperature causes degradation of rubber and accelerated ageing of the hose – an effect which can be yet further intensified by the chemical impact of the fluid. That is why the upper temperature limits specified in this catalogue refer to the fluid tempera- ture and why they differ for various media. However, permanent or long-term use at temperatures close to the upper limit would considerably shorten the hose service life in any case and if it cannot be avoided the hose should be replaced more frequently once it shows first symptoms of deterioratioin (stiffness, hard cover and cracks). Low temperature, on the other hand, affects mainly physical properties of rubber – making it more fragile – and so at extremely low tempera- tures hose being bent may crack in tube or cover which can cause immediate or later leakage, burst or reinforcement damage. As there are not many hydraulic fluids which flow at or below -40 °C, the lower temperature limits specified in this catalogue refer rather to ambient temperature below which the hose should not be bent or otherwise hit from outside (while staying passively in it does not cause serious problems). °C Hose size Ambient and fluid temperature Hose and fittings terminology Note SAE 100 R5 hydraulic hose, SAE J1402 air-brake hose and SAE J2064 air-conditioning hose use sizes equivalent to corresponding metal tube I.D. – different from the other hydraulic hoses (see datasheets of these hoses in this catalogue). Hose Hint The combination of high temperature and high pressure reduces the hose service life. Pay attention to regular inspection of such hoses and their preven- tive replacement if the cover is brittle or cracked! Aa-8 As the power transmitting – not fluid conveying – element, hydraulic hose should be first of all used for the primary applications and with the recom- mended fluids specified in this catalogue! For low pressure applications with various non-hydraulic fluids see our catalogue “4401 Industrial Hoses”. If for required higher pressure or for any other reason you cannot use industrial hoses, follow the instructions in this catalogue (pages Aa-10 – Application, Aa-11 – Media and Ab-26 to Ab-34 – Chemical Resistance Table). Hose bend radius Recommended fluids Hose and fittings terminology The role of hydrau- lic hose is to provide a connection of relatively movable parts of the circuit and so its bending is a natural state the hose is designed for. However, the lay- out of the reinforcement wire or fibre inside a bent hose may shift to less appropriate positions.The tube and cover are stretched and become thinner and so the pressure resistance of a bent hose considerably de- creases. For this reason working pressure and bend radius are negatively interdependent parameters and the max. working pressures specified in this cata- logue are conditioned by respecting the min. bend radii. Small bend radius Small bend radius Large bend radius Large bend radius Hose Hint Bend radius and bending force are two different things! Not even apparently “flexible” hose (with low bending force) may be bent below the min. allowed radius! Aa-9 Working steps Safe hose assembly 1 SIZE TEMPERATURE APPLICATION MEDIA PRESSURE S T A M P SIZE Parker uses a system of measurement called Dash Numbers to indicate hose and fitting size. The dash number, or dash size, is the measure of a hose’s In- ner Diameter (I.D.) in sixteenths of an inch. This measuring system of the inside diameter of the hose is universally used by the fluid power industry today. Don’t know the hose size? Check the layline. If the original printing has worn off, the original hose must be cut and the inside diameter measured. Be sure to measure the overall assembly length and fitting orientation before cutting the hose. The hose I.D. must be sized accurately to obtain the proper flow velocity. A flow that’s too slow results in sluggish system performance, while a flow that’s too high causes excessive pressure drops, system damage, and leaks. Use the Flow Capacity Nomogram page Ab-22 to determine the proper hose I.D. for an application’s flow rate requirements. Before you spec it, STAMP it. TEMPERATURE When specifying hose, there are two tempera- tures you need to iden- tify. One is the ambient temperature, which is the temperature that exists outside the hose where it is being used; the other is the media temperature, which is the temperature of the media conveyed through the hose. Very high or low ambi- ent temperatures can have adverse affects on the hose cover and reinforcement materials, resulting in reduced service life. Media temperatures can have a much greater impact on hose life. For example, rubber loses flex- ibility if operated at high temperatures for extended periods. Parker hoses carry different temperature ratings for different fluids. For example, 611HT hose has a temperature range of -40 °C to +150 °C for pe- troleum-based hydraulic fluids. However for water, water/glycol, and water/oil emulsion hydraulic fluids, the range drops to a rating of up to + 85 °C. Air is rated even lower at up to + 100 °C. Some media can increase or decrease the effects of temperature on the hose. The maximum rated temperature of a hose is specific to the media. The hose size is determined by the inside diameter which can be measured or found on the layline. Hose Hint Don’t try to save your own or your customer’s money by downsizing the hose! It would cost your customer more to replace damaged hoses, other components and oil, and it will cost you more as you may lose your customer! Max. recommended fluid velocity: • Pressure lines – ca. 6.1 m/sec • Return lines – ca. 3 m/sec • Suction lines – ca. 1.2 m/sec I.D. Tube Cover Reinforcement High Temperature For high temperature hoses choose the part numbers ending in “6” – e.g. 436 Low Temperature For low temperature hoses choose the part numbers ending in “LT” – e.g. 461LT Aa-10 APPLICATION Before selecting a hose, it is important to consider how the hose assembly will be used. Answering the following questions may help: • What type of equipment is involved? • What are the environmental factors? • Are mechanical loads applied to the assembly? • Will the routing be confined? • What about hose fittings – No-Skive or ParLock? • Will the assembly be subjected to abrasion? Sometimes specific applications require specific hoses. For example, applica- tions where hoses will encounter rubbing or abrasive surfaces, would be best handled by our family of abrasion-resistant hose with both Tough and Super Tough covers. When application space is tight, bend radius is another important consideration. Parker offers a full line of hoses designed for one-half SAE bend radius at full SAE-rated pressures. We ofer hoses with increased flexibility and smaller outer diameters ena- bling faster, easier routing in small spaces, reducing both hose length and inventory requirements. Industry standards set specific requirements con- cerning construction type, size, tolerances, burst pressure, and impulse cycles of hoses. Parker hy- draulic hoses meet or exceed standards such as: • ISO (International Organization for Standardization) • EN (European Norm) • SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) • DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) Governmental agencies control additional standards for particular industries such as U.S.C.G. and ABS. You must select a hose that meets the legal require- ments as well as the functional requirements of the application. Super Tough (ST) Cover 450 450 times times Standard Rubber Cover Metal-to-Hose abrasion resistance comparison Levels of abrasion resistance Tough Cover (TC) 80 80 times times Hose Hint You do not always need additional sleeve to protect the hose against abrasion! Parker high and extremely high abrasion resistant and versions with 80-times and 450-times higher abrasion resistance do the same, but better and cheaper! The hose assembly Working steps SIZE TEMPERATURE APPLICATION MEDIA PRESSURE S T A M P Aa-11 MEDIA What will the hose convey? Some applications require the use of specialized oils or chemicals. The hose you order must be compat- ible with the medium being conveyed. Compatibility must cover the inner tube, the cover, hose fittings, and o-rings as well. Use a Chemical Resistance Chart to select the correct components of the hose assembly that will be compatible with your system’s media. The chart contains the chemi- cal resistance rating of a variety of fluids. See pages Ab-26 to Ab-34. PRESSURE When considering hose pressure, it’s important to know both the system working pressure and any surge pressures and spikes. Hose selection must be made so that the published maximum working pressure of the hose is equal to or greater than the maximum system pressure. Surge pressures or peak transient pressures in the system must be below the published maximum working pressure for the hose. Each Parker hose has a pressure rating which can be found on the hose table. All Parker hydraulic hoses have passed the industry rated specifications for burst pressure and carry a 4:1 design factor unless otherwise noted. Burst pressure ratings for hose are for manufacturing test purposes only. They are not an indication that the product can be used above the published maximum working pressure. Care must also be taken when looking at the “weakest link” of the hose assembly. A hose as- sembly is rated at the maximum working pressure of the hose and the fitting component. Therefore the maximum working pressure of the hose assembly is the lesser of the rated working pressure of the hose and the end connections used. Always check the fitting working pressure – see pages Ab-9 to Ab-11. Hose Hint Although fittings are made of steel, their working pressure is often lower than that of hose! Don’t forget to check the working pressures of both fittings when selecting components for your hose assembly! The hose assembly Working steps SIZE TEMPERATURE APPLICATION MEDIA PRESSURE S T A M P Aa-12 ASSEMBLY 1piece Parkrimp fittings All male threads are measured up to the end of the fitting. All elbow fittings with swivel nuts are measured up to the summit of the head/centre line. Flange elbows are measured up to the centre line of the face. All DIN, BSP and ORFS fittings are measured up to the end of the sealing head. Straight flange fittings are measured up to the face. US fittings (JIC, SAE, NPSM), except ORFS fittings, are measured up to the end of the nut. Cutting Hose is cut to the desired length according to specifications. The correct hose cutting tool ensures a square, clean cut without damaging the pressure reinforcement. Depending on the hose type, different kinds of cutting blades must be used: 1) Smooth cutting blade: for high tensile textile layer, return line hoses and steel wire braided hoses 2) Serrated cutting blade: for hoses with 4 or 6 spiral layer of high tensile steel wire After cutting it is recommended to clean the hose with compressed air from both sides. Please make use of Parker‘s Cleaning System TH6-7 – A quick and simple system – Delivered with two plastic nozzles for hoses from size -4 up to -32. The hose is pressed against the nozzle and thereby opens a valve to allow the compressed air to blow through the hose and blow out loose particles. Cleaning after cutting Hose Air According to EN ISO 4413, hose assemblies are not permitted to be manufactured from any components that have already been in use in other hose assemblies.

They must bear the following information: – Manufacturer’s identification – Date of production (year and month) – Maximum permissible working pressure of the whole hose assembly Marking Angle setting The displacement angle of a hose assembly is indicated only when two elbow fittings are assembled in a displaced way. The angle always has to be indicated clockwise looking from the elbow fitting at the back to the one in the front. Please also consider the natural bending of the hose. 26, 43, 46, 48, 70, 73, 77 series: Push the hose all the way into the coupling. Place the hose next to the fitting shell and mark the insertion depth or the length of the fitting onto the hose, push the hose into the fitting until the mark on the hose is even with the end of the shell. If necessary simply wet the fitting end with a drop of hoze oil. Do not lubricate if using spiral hose. A β Crimping is the safest, fastest and most commonly used method of making a hose assembly. The Parker crimping systems ensure precise, leak-free and tear-proof assembly of hose and fitting. Reaching the exact crimping diameter is possible with Parkrimp crimping tools or adjust- able crimping tools. When crimping, it is essential that hose, fitting and crimping tool (dies) match precisely. For crimping dimensions please refer www.parker.com/crimpsource-euro. Crimping 1piece Parkrimp No-Skive fittings Furthermore, the insertion depth, a square cut hose, correct, burr-free and clean crimping are important to ensure a correctly formed and leak- free connection of hose and fitting. Using the Parkrimp hose crimpers or adjustable crimpers, the fitting is crimped onto the hose in one slow and smooth crimping procedure. A depth stop with automatic function ensures safe positioning of the fitting. This guarantees the correct crimping of hydraulic hose assemblies. The hose assembly Working steps www.parker.com/crimpsource-euro Find the correct crimp specification on the push of a button! Aa-14 Static test pressure depending on the hose type and application is applied to the finished hose assembly for a pre-defined period of time. The test procedure can be documented using a test logging unit. The test pressure for Parker hydraulic hose assemblies is 2 times the value of the dynamic operating overpressure. Testing (optional) Hydraulic systems have to reach a defined degree of cleanliness. To ensure that and to achieve certain cleanliness classes you can use different cleaning devices for a fast and efficient cleaning of hose assemblies. The TH6-6 cleaning device first flushes the hose assembly with an anticorrossive emulsion and dries it afterwards with compressed air. Cleaning Proof pressure test This test is typically carried out on customer request according to a method defined by the ISO 1402 standard. The test should be done at normal ambient temperature with a proof test bench using water or another suitable liquid. The hose assembly should be pressurised for between 30 to 60 seconds at twice the working pressure of the hose assembly. There should be no leakage or pressure drop. A complete test report should be provided together with the hose assembly to the customer. The dry-cleaning systems TH6- 10-EL-7 or TH6-10-HL-9-2 fire a Ultra Clean projectile through the length of the hose assembly. In the end protect the finished hose assembly against impurities with plastic caps.

Insert the knife for the internal skiving mandrel into the borehole of the mandrel provided for this purpose and mark it with a lock collar at the straight surface. When adjusting the knife, observe the marking on the internal skiving knife and insert the mandrel into the tool holder. Adjustment of tools for external skiving Attach the knives in the supporting arm. Select the supporting arm (long or short) depending on the hose size. Adjust the knives according to the Parker working instructions and insert the tools into the machine. Push the mandrel onto the hose until it is close to the tool (external or internal skiving knife). Adjustment of the sense of rotation of the machine Always skive into the direction of the spiral layers. Please observe the operation instructions of the machine. 2 ASSEMBLY 2piece ParLock fittings Cutting, cleaning after cutting and marking please see “Working Steps for 1piece Parkrimp No-Skive” For the skiving of hydraulic hose, one distinguishes between internal skiving and external skiving.

Crimping 2piece ParLock fittings Push the nipple down into the hose until it reaches the stop on the lower groove (plastic ring, fitting shoulder or metal stop). Use Hoze- Oil, if required. Make sure that the hose ends are cut squarely. Push the ferrule onto the hose. The cut end of the hose must be clearly visible. The ferrule must bottom up against the plastic ring or metal stop. After crimping, the ferrule must be located precisely in the groove of the nipple. 2piece fittings must not be crimped on Parkrimp crimpers – only with adjustable crimpers. For crimping ParLock fittings V4 series a mini- mum of 320 tons crimping force is recommended. Min. of 340 tons for V6 series.

Aa-17 wrong right 3 INSTALLATION The routing of the hose assembly and the en- vironment in which the hose assembly operates directly influence the service life of the hose assembly. The following diagrams indicate the correct routing of hose assemblies that will maxi- mise its service life and assure a safe working functionality. When hose installation is straight, it must be assured that there is enough slack in the hose to allow for changes in length that occur when pressure is applied. When pressurized, hose that is too short may pull loose from its hose fittings or stress the hose fitting connections, causing premature metallic or seal failures. The hose length must be determined so that the hose assembly has enough slack to allow the system components to move or vibrate without creating tension in the hose. However, care needs to be taken not to allow too much slack and therefore introduce the risk of the hose snagging on other equipment or rubbing on other components. Mechanical straining of the hoses needs to be avoided, so the hose must not be bent below its minimum bend radius or twisted during installation. The minimum bending radii for each hose is stated in the hose tables in the catalogue. The plane of movement must also be considered and the hose routing selected accordingly. Hose routing also plays an important role on the selection of the hose fittings, as the correct fittings can avoid straining the hoses, unnecessary hose length or multiple threaded joints. The hose assembly Working steps 3 Aa-18 Correct clamping (holding/supporting) of the hose should be exercised to securely route the hose or to avoid the hose contacting surfaces that will cause the hose damage. It is however, vital that the hose be allowed to keep its functionality as a “flexible-pipe” and not be restricted from changing in length when under pressure. It should also be noted that hoses for high- and low-pressure lines shall not be crossed or clamped together, as the difference in changes in length could wear the hose covers. Hose should not be bent in more than one plane. If hose follows a compound bend, it shall be coupled into separate segments or clamped into segments that each flex in only one plane. Hoses should be kept away from hot parts as high ambient temperatures shorten hose life. Protective insulation may need to be used in unusually high ambient temperature areas. Whilst the importance of the functionality is primate the aesthetics and practicality of the installation should also be considered in the design. It should be considered that maintenance might be necessary at some stage in the future, so prohibitive design routings should be avoided. wrong right The hose assembly Working steps Aa-19 Abrasive influences In general care should be taken that the hose is not exposed to direct surface contact that will cause abrasive wearing of the outer cover (either hose to object or hose to hose contact). If however, the application is such that this cannot be avoided, either a hose with a higher abrasion resistant hose cover or a protective sleeve need to be used. Parker (TC) or (ST) covers offer 80 times or respectively 450 times the abrasion resistance of standard rubber covers. Pollution of hydraulic circuits Modern hydraulic equipment is becoming highly precise and as such more sensitive, so as a result the importance of a clean working fluid in the system is growing. Because as many as 75 % of hydraulic system failures are caused by contamination of the fluid by solid particles, the initial cleanliness of hydraulic components, as the main source of these contaminates, is vital. With hose assemblies most of the pollution/ contaminates enter the hose assembly during its production and mainly during the cutting (or skiving) process. In order to avoid system failures, all hose assemblies should be cleaned before use (cleaned and plugged before shipping) with suitable cleaning equipment; please see also page Ea-15 up to Ea-18. The level of contamination is defined in three popular norms: ISO4406, ISO4405 or NAS 1638. Most common however, is the ISO 4406, which describes the number and size of solid particles in the hydraulic system by means of a classification value e.g. 16/13. wrong right The hose assembly Working steps Aa-20 Hose fittings Example: 1CA48-12-6 1CA48-12-6  Fitting 1CA48-12-6  End configuration 1CA48-12-6  fitting series 1CA48-12-6  Thread or tube size 1CA48-12-6  Hose / fitting size The content of the hose crimping tables shows the standard part numbers.

The O-ring is in the angled sealing surface of the fitting so that when the threaded male and female are screwed together the sealing surfaces wedge together and at the same time deform the O-ring between them. In general fittings can be identified by their visual appearance, their sealing surface/sealing type or by their thread type/form. Viewing the following pages, the visual identification will be self explanatory. The sealing mechanism and the method of thread identification, however, needs further explanation O-ring The O-ring on the male is compressed against the corresponding female and assures the seal. This type of sealing mechanism should be the preferred choice for high-pressure applications. be convex or concave (seat) on the male or in the head of the pipe of the female as shown. Matching angle or metal-to-metal joint Sealing takes place where the two angled faces of the male and corresponding female meet and are wedged into one another by the tightening of the threaded nut. The sealing surfaces can either be convex or concave (seat) on the male or in the head of the pipe of the female as shown. Thread interface The sealing is assured by the flattening of the edges of the threads when the male is screwed into the female fitting. Typically the front of the male fittings is narrower than the back of the fittings – often referred to as tapered threads. Identifying fitting types Determining sealing mechanisms Aa-23 Thread gauge Using a thread gauge, the num- ber of threads per inch can be determined. Holding the gauge and coupling threads in front of a lighted back- ground helps to obtain an accu- rate measurement. Pitch measurement: The thread gauges are used to measure pitch as shown. Diameter measurement: The caliper supplied can be used to measure thread diameters. When measuring an inside diameter (I.D.) be sure to read at the index line marked IN and when reading an outside diameter (O.D.) read at the index marked OUT. 4480-B20 UK-DE-FR Identification V2.indd 19.10.2004, 15:48 5 In general of the threads of various fittings look similar and hinder the easy identification of the thread. To assure the correct identification, the threads must be measured and compared to the tables listed in the following section. Caliper measure A vernier caliper should be used to measure the thread diameter of the largest point. (Outside diameter (O.D.) of male threads – Inside Diameter (I.D.) of female threads.)

They have 30° sealing angle surfaces, forming a 60° inverted (concave) seat. The fittings are most frequently seen on machines of US origin. North American thread types SAE JIC 37° Commonly referred to as JIC fittings, these metal-to-metal sealing type fittings have a 37° flare (sealing surface angle) and straight United National Fine Threads (UNF). The original design specification for the fittings comes from the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and these fittings are the most common American fitting types in Europe.

The fittings use the O-ring compression mechanism to seal. The female fittings have flat faces and straight threaded UNF swivel nuts. The male fittings have the O-ring in a groove in the flat face. Seen as a major advantage, these fittings offer the possibility to build the hose assemblies into fixed distances/spaces, with- out having to move back other system components due the flat faces of the male and female fit- tings – the hose assembly can be slotted in.

The sealing mechanism is through compression of the O- ring in the face of the flange head against the surface of the port/ connection. The flange fittings are gener- ally separated into two pressure classes referred to as 21.0 MPa/ 3000 psi (SFL) or 42.0 MPa/ 6000 psi (SFS). ISO 12151-3 refers to the flange fittings to as 21.0 MPa/ 3000 psi (SFL) or 42.0 MPa/ 6000 psi (SFS). In addition to these flanges, customer-specific Komatsu® and CATERPILLAR ® flanges can also be found in the market.

BS 5244 Recommendations for application, storage and life expiry of hydraulic rubber hoses and hose assemblies Specifies tests needed for various storage periods of hose (in bulk or hose assembly): • Storage period does not exceed 3 years – no tests needed. • Storage period is between 3 and 5 years – proof pressure test needed. • Storage period is between 5 and 8 years – proof pressure, burst, impulse, cold flexibility and electrical tests needed. • Bulk hose or a hose assembly older than 8 years – must be scrapped. For hose assembly service life no explicit limits are specified, whereas it is recommended to establish rules for each particular equipment and application on the basis of records taken from the real service. ISO 8331 Rubber and plastic hoses and hose assemblies – guide to selection, storage, use and mainte- nance Specifies storage periods similar to DIN 20066 – bulk hose max. 4 years, a hose assembly max. 2 years. If the storage exceeds these limits the hose must be inspected and tested (tests are not speci- fied). Hose assembly service life is not specified. ISO 17165-2 / SAE J1273 Hydraulic fluid power – hose assemblies – recommended practices for hydraulic hose assemblies The specified max. shelf life of bulk hose or a hose assembly is 10 years (40 quarters) from the date of manufacture (vulcanization) of the hose, provided it has been stored in accordance with ISO 2230 (Rubber products - Guidelines for storage) and passes visual inspection and if need be also a proof pressure test. If visual inspection gives rise to any doubts as to the functionality of the hose (cracks in the cover or tube after hose flexing, excessive stiffness, reinforcement rust etc.), a proof pressure test should be carried out before use or the hose should be scrapped. OEM regulations In addition to these national and international standards, also some Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) have their own regulations for age of hose used for production of hose assemblies. We recommend generally observe the regulations relevant for your country or ISO 17165-2 (if there is no domestic regulation), plus the regulation of your customer’s country or of your OEM customer in the extent in which they are more demanding. Shelf life – max. 4 years Bulk Hose Service life – max. 6 years Hose Assembly Storage max. 2 years Storage Hoses and hose fittings It is a well-known fact that rubber properties deteriorate during the time of storage and service. A system of hose age control should be maintained to ensure that hose is used as long as it retains full capabilities for rendering the intended service. However, it is impossible to advise the ideal storage period and service life of rubber hose as it is subject to a variety of factors which may affect the rubber characteristics and the suitability for use. That is also why various standardization committees take very different approaches to rubber hose storage period and service life. The main national and international standards defining rules for rubber hose storage are the following: Hint German and the British standards are the most rigorous. Aa-31 Hoses storage – best practices Store hoses and hose assemblies in a cool, dark and dry room with capped ends in closed boxes (preferably in the original Parker packaging) and in the manner facilitating inspection of the hose condi- tion and the first-in first-out (FIFO) inventory control system. The main factors determining the hose storage are: a) Temperature Preferably between 15 °C and 25 °C, without rapid and frequent fluctuation. b) Humidity Preferably not higher than 65 %, protect hose against moisture and avoid atmospheric humidity condensation. c) Heat Store hose away from heat sources. d) Light Protect hose against direct sun light, light of discharge lamps and other ultraviolet sources. e) Corrosive liquids and fumes Do not store in the same room with corrosive chemicals. f) Ozone Avoid using high power electrical equipment and electrical spark sources in the storage room. g) Oils and greases Avoid direct contact. h) Space and bends Keep hose in stress-free shape never bent below the min. bend radius. i) Electrical and magnetic fields Store hose away from powerful electric transformers, motors and generators that could induce current in the hose metal reinforcement. j) Rodents and insects Protect against rodents and insects. Fittings storage – best practices For storing fittings the same rules as for hose are applicable (especially for fittings with rubber sealing), in addition: a) Mismatching and confusing Avoid unnecessary repacking and store fittings in clearly marked closed containers (preferably in the original Parker packaging). b) Damage of threads and sealing surfaces Avoid unnecessary reloading and handling. c) Fittings with O-rings Assure that storage period of fittings with O-rings or other rubber sealing does not exceed 2 years (remember: first in-first out) and make sure that hose assemblies or hose fittings with O-rings will be stored in a cool, dry and dark room. d) Caps Hose assemblies fittings should be capped against damage and contamination. 4 4Years Years Storage Best practices Aa-32 WARNING: Injuries in which hydraulic or other liquid is involved must be treated without delay and not the same way as an ordinary injury! 1. High pressure fluid injection can be almost invisible, leaking from a pinhole, but it can pierce the skin deep into the muscle! 2. If a fluid-injection accident occurs, search immediately for a medical treatment by a doctor! 3. Don’t touch pressurized hydraulic hose assemblies and don’t look at them from a short distance – especially not close to fittings! 4. Secure ends of hydraulic assemblies with high pulsing pressure and all high pressure air hose assem- blies against blow-off of the hose from the fitting with appropriate whip restraints! 5. Stay out of hazardous areas while testing hose assemblies under pressure and wear proper protective clothing and goggles! We in Parker are making all efforts to develop, manufacture and deliver defect-free, dura- ble and safe products and services – starting from integrated design and testing of all components through sharing our know-how with our customers and providing them with comprehensive support and training. A hydraulic hose assembly is a power component and may cause property damage, personal injury or death!

Other applica- tions require the Hose and the Fittings and the Hose/Fitting interface to be sufficiently conductive to drain off static electricity. Extreme care must be exercised when selecting Hose, Tube and Fittings for these or any other applications in which electrical conductivity or noncon- ductivity is a factor. The electrical conductivity or nonconductivity of Hose, Tube and Fittings is dependent upon many factors and may be susceptible to change. These factors include but are not limited to the various materials used to make the Hose and the Fittings, Fitting finish (some Fitting finishes are electrically conductive while others are nonconductive), manufacturing methods (including moisture control), how the Fittings contact the Hose, age and amount of deterioration or damage or other changes, moisture content of the Hose at any particular time, and other factors. The following are considerations for electrically nonconductive and conductive Hose. For other applica- tions consult the individual catalog pages and the appropriate industry or regulatory standards for proper selection. 2.1.1 Electrically Nonconductive Hose: Certain applications require that the Hose be nonconductive to prevent electrical current flow or to maintain electrical isolation. For applications that require Hose to be electrically nonconductive, including but not limited to applications near high voltage electric lines, only special nonconductive Hose can be used. The manufacturer of the equipment in which the noncon- ductive Hose is to be used must be consulted to be certain that the Hose, Tube and Fittings that are selected are proper for the applica- tion. Do not use any Parker Hose or Fittings for any such application requiring nonconductive Hose, including but not limited to applica- tions near high voltage electric lines or dense magnetic fields, unless (i) the application is expressly approved in the Parker technical publica- tion for the product, (ii) the Hose is marked “nonconductive”, and (iii) the manufacturer of the equipment on which the Hose is to be used specifically approves the particular Parker Hose, Tube and Fittings for such use. 2.1.2 Electrically Conductive Hose: Parker manufactures special Hose for certain applications that require electrically conductive Hose. Parker manufactures special Hose for conveying paint in airless paint spray- ing applications. This Hose is labeled “Electrically Conductive Airless Paint Spray Hose” on its layline and packaging. This Hose must be properly connected to the appropriate Parker Fittings and properly grounded in order to dissipate dangerous static charge buildup, which occurs in all airless paint spraying applications. Do not use any other Hose for airless paint spraying, even if electrically conductive. Use of any other Hose or failure to properly connect the Hose can cause a fire or an explosion resulting in death, personal injury, and property damage. All hoses that convey fuels must be grounded.

No product from any division in Fluid Connector Group is approved for in-flight aerospace applications. For hoses and fittings used in in-flight aerospace applications, please contact Parker Aerospace Group Parker safety guide for selecting and using hose, tubing, fittings and related accessories Parker Publication No. 4400-B.1 / Revised: September, 2015 Parker safety guide Aa-35 applications where static electricity buildup may occur. Parker CNG Hose assemblies comply with the requirements of ANSI/IAS NGV 4.2; CSA 12.52, “Hoses for Natural Gas Vehicles and Dispensing Systems” (www.ansi.org). This Hose is labeled “Electrically Conductive for CNG Use” on its layline and packaging. This Hose must be properly con- nected to the appropriate Parker Fittings and properly grounded in order to dissipate dangerous static charge buildup, which occurs in, for example, high velocity CNG dispensing or transfer. Do not use any other Hose for CNG applications where static charge buildup may oc- cur, even if electrically conductive. Use of other Hoses in CNG appli- cations or failure to properly connect or ground this Hose can cause a fire or an explosion resulting in death, personal injury, and property damage. Care must also be taken to protect against CNG permeation through the Hose wall. See section 2.6, Permeation, for more infor- mation. Parker CNG Hose is intended for dispenser and vehicle use within the specified temperature range. Parker CNG Hose should not be used in confined spaces or unventilated areas or areas exceeding the specified temperature range. Final assemblies must be tested for leaks. CNG Hose Assemblies should be tested on a monthly basis for conductivity per ANSI/IAS NGV 4.2; CSA 12.52. Parker manufac- tures special Hose for aerospace in-flight applications. Aerospace in- flight applications employing Hose to transmit fuel, lubricating fluids and hydraulic fluids require a special Hose with a conductive inner tube. This Hose for in-flight applications is available only from Parker's Stratoflex Products Division. Do not use any other Parker Hose for in- flight applications, even if electrically conductive. Use of other Hoses for in-flight applications or failure to properly connect or ground this Hose can cause a fire or an explosion resulting in death, personal injury and property damage. These Hose assemblies for in-flight applica- tions must meet all applicable aerospace industry, aircraft engine and aircraft requirements. 2.2 Pressure: Hose, Tube and Fitting selection must be made so that the published maximum working pressure of the Hose, Tube and Fit- tings are equal to or greater than the maximum system pressure. The maximum working pressure of a Hose, or Tube Assembly is the lower of the respective published maximum working pressures of the Hose, Tube and the Fittings used. Surge pressures or peak transient pres- sures in the system must be below the published maximum working pressure for the Hose, Tube and Fitting. Surge pressures and peak pressures can usually only be determined by sensitive electrical instru- mentation that measures and indicates pressures at millisecond inter- vals. Mechanical pressure gauges indicate only average pressures and cannot be used to determine surge pressures or peak transient pres- sures. Published burst pressure ratings for Hose is for manufacturing test purposes only and is no indication that the Product can be used in applications at the burst pressure or otherwise above the published maximum recommended working pressure. 2.3 Suction: Hoses used for suction applications must be selected to insure that the Hose will withstand the vacuum and pressure of the system. Improperly selected Hose may collapse in suction application. 2.4 Temperature: Be certain that fluid and ambient temperatures, both steady and transient, do not exceed the limitations of the Hose, Tube, Fitting and Seals. Temperatures below and above the recommended limit can degrade Hose, Tube, Fittings and Seals to a point where a failure may occur and release fluid. Tube and Fittings performances are normally degraded at elevated temperature. Material compatibility can also change at temperatures outside of the rated range. Properly insulate and protect the Hose Assembly when routing near hot objects (e.g. manifolds). Do not use any Hose in any application where failure of the Hose could result in the conveyed fluids (or vapors or mist from the conveyed fluids) contacting any open flame, molten metal, or other potential fire ignition source that could cause burning or explosion of the conveyed fluids or vapors. 2.5 Fluid Compatibility: Hose, and Tube Assembly selection must as- sure compatibility of the Hose tube, cover, reinforcement, Tube, Plating and Seals with the fluid media used. See the fluid compatibility chart in the Parker publication for the product being considered or used. This information is offered only as a guide. Actual service life can only be determined by the end user by testing under all extreme condi- tions and other analysis. Hose, and Tube that is chemically compatible with a particular fluid must be assembled using Fittings and adapters containing likewise compatible seals. Flange or flare processes can change Tube material properties that may not be compatible with cer- tain requirements such as NACE 2.6 Permeation: Permeation (that is, seepage through the Hose or Seal) will occur from inside the Hose or Fitting to outside when Hose or Fitting is used with gases, liquid and gas fuels, and refrigerants (includ- ing but not limited to such materials as helium, diesel fuel, gasoline, natural gas, or LPG). This permeation may result in high concentra- tions of vapors which are potentially flammable, explosive, or toxic, and in loss of fluid. Dangerous explosions, fires, and other hazards can result when using the wrong Hose for such applications. The sys- tem designer must take into account the fact that this permeation will take place and must not use Hose or Fitting if this permeation could be hazardous. The system designer must take into account all legal, government, insurance, or any other special regulations which govern the use of fuels and refrigerants. Never use a Hose or Fitting even though the fluid compatibility is acceptable without considering the potential hazardous effects that can result from permeation through the Hose or Tube Assembly. Permeation of moisture from outside the Hose or Fitting to inside the Hose or Fitting will also occur in Hose or Tube assemblies, regardless of internal pressure. If this moisture per- meation would have detrimental effects (particularly, but not limited to refrigeration and air conditioning systems), incorporation of sufficient drying capacity in the system or other appropriate system safeguards should be selected and used. The sudden pressure release of highly pressurized gas could also result in Explosive Decompression failure of permeated Seals and Hoses. 2.7 Size: Transmission of power by means of pressurized fluid varies with pressure and rate of flow. The size of the components must be adequate to keep pressure losses to a minimum and avoid damage due to heat generation or excessive fluid velocity. . 2.8 Routing: Attention must be given to optimum routing to minimize inherent problems (kinking or flow restriction due to Hose collapse, twisting of the Hose, proximity to hot objects or heat sources). For ad- ditional routing recommendations see SAE J1273 and ISO 17165-2. Hose Assemblies have a finite life and should be installed in a man- ner that allows for ease of inspection and future replacement. Hose because of its relative short life, should not be used in residential and commercial buildings inside of inaccessible walls or floors, unless spe- cifically allowed in the product literature. Always review all product lit- erature for proper installation and routing instructions. 2.9 Environment: Care must be taken to insure that the Hose, Tube and Fittings are either compatible with or protected from the environ- ment (that is, surrounding conditions) to which they are exposed. En- vironmental conditions including but not limited to ultraviolet radiation, sunlight, heat, ozone, moisture, water, salt water, chemicals and air pollutants can cause degradation and premature failure. 2.10 Mechanical Loads: External forces can significantly reduce Hose, Tube and Fitting life or cause failure. Mechanical loads which must be considered include excessive flexing, twist, kinking, tensile or side loads, bend radius, and vibration. Use of swivel type Fittings or adapt- ers may be required to insure no twist is put into the Hose. Use of proper Hose or Tube clamps may also be required to reduce external mechanical loads. Unusual applications may require special testing prior to Hose selection. 2.11 Physical Damage: Care must be taken to protect Hose from wear, snagging, kinking, bending smaller that minimum bend radius and cutting, any of which can cause premature Hose failure. Any Hose that has been kinked or bent to a radius smaller than the minimum bend radius, and any Hose that has been cut or is cracked or is other- wise damaged should be removed and discarded. Fittings with dam- ages such as scratches on sealing surfaces and deformation should be replaced. 2.12 Proper End Fitting: See instructions 3.2 through 3.5. These rec- ommendations may be substantiated by testing to industry standards such as SAE J517 for hydraulic applications, or MIL-A-5070, AS1339, or AS3517 for Hoses from Parker's Stratoflex Products Division for aerospace applications. 2.13 Length: When determining the proper Hose or Tube length of an assembly, be aware of Hose length change due to pressure, Tube length change due to thermal expansion or contraction, and Hose or Tube and machine tolerances and movement must be considered. When routing short hose assemblies, it is recommended that the mini- mum free hose length is always used. Consult the hose manufacturer for their minimum free hose length recommendations. Hose assem- blies should be installed in such a way that any motion or flexing oc- curs within the same plane. 2.14 Specifications and Standards: When selecting Hose, Tube and Fittings, government, industry, and Parker specifications and recom- mendations must be reviewed and followed as applicable. 2.15 Hose Cleanliness: Hose and Tube components may vary in cleanliness levels. Care must be taken to insure that the Hose and Tube Assembly selected has an adequate level of cleanliness for the application. Parker safety guide Aa-36 2.16 Fire Resistant Fluids: Some fire resistant fluids that are to be con- veyed by Hose or Tube require use of the same type of Hose or Tube as used with petroleum base fluids. Some such fluids require a special Hose, Tube, Fitting and Seal, while a few fluids will not work with any Hose at all. See instructions 2.5 and 1.5. The wrong Hose, Tube, Fit- ting or Seal may fail after a very short service. In addition, all liquids but pure water may burn fiercely under certain conditions, and even pure water leakage may be hazardous. 2.17 Radiant Heat: Hose and Seals can be heated to destruction with- out contact by such nearby items as hot manifolds or molten metal. The same heat source may then initiate a fire. This can occur despite the presence of cool air around the Hose or Seal. Performance of Tube and Fitting subjected to the heat could be degraded. 2.18 Welding or Brazing: When using a torch or arc welder in close proximity to hydraulic lines, the hydraulic lines should be removed or shielded with appropriate fire resistant materials. Flame or weld spat- ter could burn through the Hose or Seal and possibly ignite escaping fluid resulting in a catastrophic failure. Heating of plated parts, includ- ing Hose Fittings and adapters, above 450°F (232°C) such as during welding, brazing or soldering may emit deadly gases. Any elastomer seal on fittings shall be removed prior to welding or brazing, any metal- lic surfaces shall be protected after brazing or welding when neces- sary. Welding and brazing filler material shall be compatible with the Tube and Fitting that are joined. 2.19 Atomic Radiation: Atomic radiation affects all materials used in Hose and Tube assemblies. Since the long-term effects may be un- known, do not expose Hose or Tube assemblies to atomic radiation. Nuclear applications may require special Tube and Fittings. 2.20 Aerospace Applications: The only Hose, Tube and Fittings that may be used for in-flight aerospace applications are those available from Parker’s Stratoflex Products Division. Do not use any other Hose or Fittings for in-flight applications. Do not use any Hose or Fittings from Parker’s Stratoflex Products Division with any other Hose or Fit- tings, unless expressly approved in writing by the engineering manag- er or chief engineer of Stratoflex Products Division and verified by the user’s own testing and inspection to aerospace industry standards. 2.21 Unlocking Couplings: Ball locking couplings or other Fittings with quick disconnect ability can unintentionally disconnect if they are dragged over obstructions, or if the sleeve or other disconnect mem- ber, is bumped or moved enough to cause disconnect. Threaded Fit- tings should be considered where there is a potential for accidental uncoupling. 3.0 HOSE AND FITTINGS ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION IN- STRUCTIONS 3.1 Component Inspection: Prior to assembly, a careful examination of the Hose and Fittings must be performed. All components must be checked for correct style, size, catalog number, and length. The Hose must be examined for cleanliness, obstructions, blisters, cover looseness, kinks, cracks, cuts or any other visible defects. Inspect the Fitting and sealing surfaces for burrs, nicks, corrosion or other imperfections. Do NOT use any component that displays any signs of nonconformance. 3.2 Hose and Fitting Assembly: Do not assemble a Parker Fitting on a Parker Hose that is not specifically listed by Parker for that Fitting, un- less authorized in writing by the engineering manager or chief engineer of the appropriate Parker division. Do not assemble a Parker Fitting on another manufacturer's Hose or a Parker Hose on another manu- facturer's Fitting unless (i) the engineering manager or chief engineer of the appropriate Parker division approves the Assembly in writing or that combination is expressly approved in the appropriate Parker literature for the specific Parker product, and (ii) the user verifies the Assembly and the application through analysis and testing. For Parker Hose that does not specify a Parker Fitting, the user is solely responsible for the selection of the proper Fitting and Hose Assembly procedures. See instruction 1.4. To prevent the possibility of problems such as leakage at the Fitting or system con- tamination, it is important to completely remove all debris from the cut- ting operation before installation of the Fittings. The Parker published instructions must be followed for assembling the F
