Stratoflex Products Division is approved for in flight aerospace applications, and no other Hose can be used for such in flight applications.
1.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Scope: This safety guide provides instructions for selecting and
using (including assembling, installing, and maintaining) these Prod-
ucts. For convenience, all rubber and/or thermoplastic products
commonly called “hose” or “tubing” are called “Hose” in this safety
guide. All assemblies made with Hose are called “Hose Assem-
blies”. All products commonly called “fittings” or “couplings” are
called “Fittings”. All related accessories (including crimping and
swaging machines and tooling) are called “Related Accessories”.
This safety guide is a supplement to and is to be used with, the
specific Parker publications for the specific Hose, Fittings and
Related Accessories that are being considered for use.
1.2 Fail-Safe: Hose, and Hose Assemblies and Fittings can and do
fail without warning for many reasons. Design all systems and equip-
ment in a fail-safe mode, so that failure of the Hose or Hose As-
sembly or Fitting will not endanger persons or property.
1.3 Distribution: Provide a copy of this safety guide to each person
that is responsible for selecting or using Hose and Fitting products.
Do not select or use Parker Hose or Fittings without thoroughly
reading and understanding this safety guide as well as the specific
Parker publications for the products considered or selected.
1.4 User Responsibility: Due to the wide variety of operating condi-
tions and applications for Hose and Fittings, Parker and its dis-
tributors do not represent or warrant that any particular Hose or
Fitting is suitable for any specific end use system. This safety
guide does not analyze all technical parameters that must be con-
sidered in selecting a product. The user, through its own analysis
and testing, is solely responsible for:
• Making the final selection of the Hose and Fitting.
• Assuring that the user’s requirements are met and that the ap-
plication presents no health or safety hazards.
• Providing all appropriate health and safety warnings on the equip-
ment on which the Hose and Fittings are used.
• Assuring compliance with all applicable government and indus-
try standards.
1.5 Additional Questions: Call the appropriate Parker technical ser-
vice department if you have any questions or require any additional
information. See the Parker publication for the product being con-
sidered or used, or call 1-800-CPARKER, or go to www.parker.com,
for telephone numbers of the appropriate technical service depart-
ment.
2.0 HOSE AND FITTING SELECTION INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 Electrical Conductivity: Certain applications require that the Hose
be nonconductive to prevent electrical current flow. Other applica-
tions require the Hose and the Fitting and the Hose/Fitting inter-
face to be sufficiently conductive to drain off static electricity. Ex-
treme care must be exercised when selecting Hose and Fittings
for these or any other applications in which electrical conductivity
or nonconductivity is a factor.
The electrical conductivity or nonconductivity of Hose 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 nonconduc-
tive), manufacturing methods (including moisture control), how the
Fittings contact the Hose, age and amount of deterioration or dam-
age or other changes, moisture content of the Hose at any particu-
lar time, and other factors.
The following are considerations for electrically nonconductive and
conductive Hose. For other applications consult the individual cata-
log 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 these applications that require Hose
to be electrically nonconductive, including but not limited to appli-
cations near high voltage electric lines, only special nonconduc-
tive Hose can be used. The manufacturer of the equipment in which
the nonconductive Hose is to be used must be consulted to be
certain that the Hose and Fittings that are selected are proper for
the application. Do not use any Parker Hose or Fitting for any such
application requiring nonconductive Hose, including but not limited
to applications near high voltage electric lines, unless (i) the appli-
cation is expressly approved in the Parker technical publication 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 and Fitting 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 spraying applications. This Hose is labeled “Electrically Con-
ductive 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 applica-
tions. 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.
Parker manufactures a special Hose for certain compressed natu-
ral gas (“CNG”) applications where static electricity buildup may
occur. Parker CNG Hose assemblies comply with AGA Require-
ments 1-93, “Hoses for Natural Gas Vehicles and Fuel Dispens-
ers”. 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 occur, even if electrically conductive. Use of other Hoses in
CNG 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. Care must also be taken to protect against
CNG permeation through the Hose wall. See section 2.6, Perme-
ation, for more information. Parker CNG Hose is intended for dis-
penser and vehicle use at a maximum temperature of 180°F. Parker
CNG Hose should not be used in confined spaces or unventilated
areas or areas exceeding 180°F. Final assemblies must be tested
for leaks. CNG Hose Assemblies should be tested on a monthly
basis for conductivity per AGA 1-93.
Parker manufactures special Hose for aerospace in-flight applica-
tions. 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 electri-
cally 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 dam-
age. These Hose assemblies for in-flight applications must meet
all applicable aerospace industry, aircraft engine, and aircraft re-
quirements.
2.2 Pressure: Hose selection must be made so that the published
maximum recommended 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 pub-
lished maximum working pressure for the Hose. Surge pressures
and peak pressures can usually only be determined by sensitive
electrical instrumentation that measures and indicates pressures
at millisecond intervals. Mechanical pressure gauges indicate only
average pressures and cannot be used to determine surge pres-
sures or peak transient pressures. Published burst pressure rat-
ings 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 appli-
cation.
2.4 Temperature: Be certain that fluid and ambient temperatures, both
steady and transient, do not exceed the limitations of the Hose.
Temperatures below and above the recommended limit can de-
grade Hose to a point where a failure may occur and release fluid.
Properly insulate and protect the Hose Assembly when routing near
hot objects (e.g. manifolds). Do not use any Hose in any applica-
tion 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 Assembly selection must assure com-
patibility of the Hose tube, cover, reinforcement, and Fittings with
the fluid media used. See the fluid compatibility chart in the Parker
publication for the product being considered or used. This informa-
tion is offered only as a guide. Actual service life can only be deter-
mined by the end user by testing under all extreme conditions and
other analysis.
Hose that is chemically compatible with a particular fluid must be
assembled using Fittings and adapters containing likewise com-
patible seals.
2.6 Permeation: Permeation (that is, seepage through the Hose) will
occur from inside the Hose to outside when Hose is used with
gases, liquid and gas fuels, and refrigerants (including but not lim-
ited to such materials as helium, diesel fuel, gasoline, natural gas,
or LPG). This permeation may result in high concentrations of va-
pors 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 if this permeation could be
hazardous. The system designer must take into account all legal,
government, insurance, or any other special regulations which gov-
ern the use of fuels and refrigerants. Never use a Hose even though
the fluid compatibility is acceptable without considering the poten-
tial hazardous effects that can result from permeation through the
Hose Assembly.
Permeation of moisture from outside the Hose to inside the Hose
will also occur in Hose assemblies, regardless of internal pressure.
If this moisture permeation would have detrimental effects (particu-
larly, 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.
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).
2.9 Environment: Care must be taken to insure that the Hose and
Fittings are either compatible with or protected from the environ-
ment (that is, surrounding conditions) to which they are exposed.
Environmental conditions including but not limited to ultraviolet ra-
diation, sunlight, heat, ozone, moisture, water, salt water, chemi-
cals, and air pollutants can cause degradation and premature fail-
ure.
2.10 Mechanical Loads: External forces can significantly reduce Hose
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 adapters may
be required to insure no twist is put into the Hose. Unusual applica-
tions 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
otherwise damaged, should be removed and discarded.
2.12 Proper End Fitting: See instructions 3.2 through 3.5. These rec-
ommendations may be substantiated by testing to industry stan-
dards 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 establishing a proper Hose length, motion absorp-
tion, Hose length changes due to pressure, and Hose and machine
tolerances and movement must be considered.
2.14 Specifications and Standards: When selecting Hose and Fittings,
government, industry, and Parker specifications and recommenda-
tions must be reviewed and followed as applicable.
2.15 Hose Cleanliness: Hose components may vary in cleanliness lev-
els. Care must be taken to insure that the Hose Assembly selected
has an adequate level of cleanliness for the application.
2.16 Fire Resistant Fluids: Some fire resistant fluids that are to be
conveyed by Hose require use of the same type of Hose as used
with petroleum base fluids. Some such fluids require a special Hose,
while a few fluids will not work with any Hose at all. See instruc-
tions 2.5 and 1.5. The wrong Hose may fail after a very short ser-
vice. In addition, all liquids but pure water may burn fiercely under
certain conditions, and even pure water leakage may be hazard-
ous.
2.17 Radiant Heat: Hose can be heated to destruction without 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.
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
spatter could burn through the Hose and possibly ignite escaping
fluid resulting in a catastrophic failure. Heating of plated parts, in-
cluding Hose Fittings and adapters, above 450°F (232°C) such as
during welding, brazing, or soldering may emit deadly gases.
2.19 Atomic Radiation: Atomic radiation affects all materials used in
Hose assemblies. Since the long-term effects may be unknown,
do not expose Hose assemblies to atomic radiation.
2.20 Aerospace Applications: The only Hose and Fittings that may be
used for in-flight aerospace applications are Hose 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
Fittings, unless expressly approved in writing by the engineering
manager or chief engineer of Stratoflex Products Division and veri-
fied by the user’s own testing and inspection to aerospace industry
standards.
2.21 Unlocking Couplings: Ball locking couplings or other couplings
with disconnect sleeves can unintentionally disconnect if they are
dragged over obstructions or if the sleeve is bumped or moved
enough to cause disconnect. Threaded couplings should be con-
sidered where there is a potential for accidental uncoupling.
3.0 HOSE AND FITTING 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. In-
spect 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 Fit-
ting, unless 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 manufacturer’s Fitting unless (i) the engineering man-
ager 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.
The Parker published instructions must be followed for assembling
the Fittings on the Hose. These instructions are provided in the
Parker Fitting catalog for the specific Parker Fitting being used, or
by calling 1-800-CPARKER, or at www.parker.com.
3.3 Related Accessories: Do not crimp or swage any Parker Hose or
Fitting with anything but the listed swage or crimp machine and
dies in accordance with Parker published instructions. Do not crimp
or swage another manufacturer’s Fitting with a Parker crimp or swage
die unless authorized in writing by the engineering manager or chief
engineer of the appropriate Parker division.
3.4 Parts: Do not use any Parker Fitting part (including but not limited
to socket, shell, nipple, or insert) except with the correct Parker
mating parts, in accordance with Parker published instructions,
unless authorized in writing by the engineering manager or chief
engineer of the appropriate Parker division.
3.5 Reusable/Permanent: Do not reuse any field attachable (reusable)
Hose Fitting that has blown or pulled off a Hose. Do not reuse a
Parker permanent Hose Fitting (crimped or swaged) or any part
thereof. Complete Hose Assemblies may only be reused after proper
inspection under section 4.0. Do not assemble Fittings to any pre-
viously used hydraulic Hose that was in service, for use in a fluid
power application.
3.6 Pre-Installation Inspection: Prior to installation, a careful exami-
nation of the Hose Assembly must be performed. Inspect the Hose
Assembly for any damage or defects. Do NOT use any Hose As-
sembly that displays any signs of nonconformance.
3.7 Minimum Bend Radius: Installation of a Hose at less than the
minimum listed bend radius may significantly reduce the Hose life.
Particular attention must be given to preclude sharp bending at the
Hose to Fitting juncture. Any bending during installation at less
than the minimum bend radius must be avoided. If any Hose is
kinked during installation, the Hose must be discarded.
3.8 Twist Angle and Orientation: Hose Assembly installation must
be such that relative motion of machine components does not pro-
duce twisting.
3.9 Securement: In many applications, it may be necessary to re-
strain, protect, or guide the Hose to protect it from damage by
unnecessary flexing, pressure surges, and contact with other me-
chanical components. Care must be taken to insure such restraints
do not introduce additional stress or wear points.
3.10 Proper Connection of Ports: Proper physical installation of the
Hose Assembly requires a correctly installed port connection insur-
ing that no twist or torque is transferred to the Hose when the Fit-
tings are being tightened or otherwise during use.
3.11 External Damage: Proper installation is not complete without in-
suring that tensile loads, side loads, kinking, flattening, potential
abrasion, thread damage, or damage to sealing surfaces are cor-
rected or eliminated. See instruction 2.10.
3.12 System Checkout: All air entrapment must be eliminated and the
system pressurized to the maximum system pressure (at or below
the Hose maximum working pressure) and checked for proper func-
tion and freedom from leaks. Personnel must stay out of potential
hazardous areas while testing and using.
3.13 Routing: The Hose Assembly should be routed in such a manner
so if a failure does occur, the escaping media will not cause per-
sonal injury or property damage. In addition, if fluid media comes in
contact with hot surfaces, open flame, or sparks, a fire or explosion
may occur. See section 2.4.
4.0 HOSE AND FITTING MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT IN-
STRUCTIONS
4.1 Even with proper selection and installation, Hose life may be sig-
nificantly reduced without a continuing maintenance program. The
severity of the application, risk potential from a possible Hose fail-
ure, and experience with any Hose failures in the application or in
similar applications should determine the frequency of the inspec-
tion and the replacement for the Products so that Products are
replaced before any failure occurs. A maintenance program must
be established and followed by the user and, at minimum, must
include instructions 4.2 through 4.7.
4.2 Visual Inspection Hose/Fitting: Any of the following conditions
require immediate shut down and replacement of the Hose Assem-
bly:
• Fitting slippage on Hose,
• Damaged, cracked, cut or abraded cover (any reinforcement
exposed);
• Hard, stiff, heat cracked, or charred Hose;
• Cracked, damaged, or badly corroded Fittings;
• Leaks at Fitting or in Hose;
• Kinked, crushed, flattened or twisted Hose; and
• Blistered, soft, degraded, or loose cover.
4.3 Visual Inspection All Other: The following items must be tight-
ened, repaired, corrected or replaced as required:
• Leaking port conditions;
• Excess dirt buildup;
• Worn clamps, guards or shields; and
• System fluid level, fluid type, and any air entrapment.
4.4 Functional Test: Operate the system at maximum operating pres-
sure and check for possible malfunctions and leaks. Personnel
must avoid potential hazardous areas while testing and using the
system. See section 2.2.
4.5 Replacement Intervals: Hose assemblies and elastomeric seals
used on Hose Fittings and adapters will eventually age, harden,
wear and deteriorate under thermal cycling and compression set.
Hose Assemblies and elastomeric seals should be inspected and
replaced at specific replacement intervals, based on previous ser-
vice life, government or industry recommendations, or when fail-
ures could result in unacceptable downtime, damage, or injury risk.
See section 1.2.
4.6 Hose Inspection and Failure: Hydraulic power is accomplished
by utilizing high-pressure fluids to transfer energy and do work.
Hoses, Fittings, and Hose Assemblies all contribute to this by trans-
mitting fluids at high pressures. Fluids under pressure can be dan-
gerous and potentially lethal and, therefore, extreme caution must
be exercised when working with fluids under pressure and handling
the Hoses transporting the fluids. From time to time, Hose Assem-
blies will fail if they are not replaced at proper time intervals. Usu-
ally these failures are the result of some form of misapplication,
abuse, wear, or failure to perform proper maintenance. When Hoses

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available upon request.
Federal OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1910.1200 requires that we transmit to our customers Material Safety Data Sheets for all material
covered under the law. If you are an employer in SIC 20-39 who has not yet received them, you are required to obtain them from us and
provide the information to employees as directed in Secton (b) of the requlation. Please contact the Parflex Technical Service Department
at 330-298-4066 (phone) or 330-296-8433 (FAX).
fail, generally the high-pressure fluids inside escape in a stream
which may or may not be visible to the user. Under no circum-
stances should the user attempt to locate the leak by “feeling” with
their hands or any other part of their body. High-pressure fluids can
and will penetrate the skin and cause severe tissue damage and
possibly loss of limb. Even seemingly minor hydraulic fluid injec-
tion injuries must be treated immediately by a physician with knowl-
edge of the tissue damaging properties of hydraulic fluid.
If a Hose failure occurs, immediately shut down the equipment and
leave the area until pressure has been completely released from
the Hose Assembly. Simply shutting down the hydraulic pump may
or may not eliminate the pressure in the Hose Assembly. Many
times check valves, etc., are employed in a system and can cause
pressure to remain in a Hose Assembly even when pumps or equip-
ment are not operating. Tiny holes in the Hose, commonly known
as pinholes, can eject small, dangerously powerful but hard to see
streams of hydraulic fluid. It may take several minutes or even
hours for the pressure to be relieved so that the Hose Assembly
may be examined safely.
Once the pressure has been reduced to zero, the Hose Assembly
may be taken off the equipment and examined. It must always be
replaced if a failure has occurred. Never attempt to patch or repair
a Hose Assembly that has failed. Consult the nearest Parker dis-
tributor or the appropriate Parker division for Hose Assembly re-
placement information.
Never touch or examine a failed Hose Assembly unless it is obvi-
ous that the Hose no longer contains fluid under pressure. The
high-pressure fluid is extremely dangerous and can cause serious
and potentially fatal injury.
4.7 Elastomeric seals: Elastomeric seals will eventually age, harden,
wear and deteriorate under thermal cycling and compression set.
Elastomeric seals should be inspected and replaced.
4.8 Refrigerant gases: Special care should be taken when working
with refrigeration systems. Sudden escape of refrigerant gases can
cause blindness if the escaping gases contact the eye and can
cause freezing or other severe injuries if it contacts any other por-
tion of the body.
4.9 Compressed natural gas (CNG): Parker CNG Hose Assemblies
should be tested after installation and before use, and at least on a
monthly basis per AGA 1-93 Section 4.2 “Visual Inspection Hose/
Fitting”. The recommended procedure is to pressurize the Hose
and check for leaks and to visually inspect the Hose for damage.
4.10 Matches, candles, open flame or other sources of ignition shall not
be used for Hose inspection. Leak check solutions should be rinsed
off after use.
