and Maintenance of polyflex Hose and Hose Assemblies
Hose and hose assemblies have a finite life span and many things reduce this time. This recommended practice should be
read by designers and users of hose to assist them in the proper selection of hose. These guidelines, while not all inclusive,
will assist the user in maintaining hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

fluid resistance tables are simplified rating tabulations based on immersion tests at 24° C. Higher

(2) Hose applications for these fluids must take into account legal and insurance regulations. The chemical
resistance does not express or imply approval by certain institutions.
(3) Satisfactory at some concentrations and temperatures, unsatisfactory at others.

0/960W – FEP ..............................................................................

(4) For gas applications, the cover should be pin-pricked and the pressure must not be released quickly. Special
safety guard accessories are to be used to prevent damage or personal injury in the event of failure..
(5) Chemical resistance does not imply low permeation rates. Please consult Parker Hannifin for a recommendation
for your specific requirements.
(6) The indication of chemical resistance does not imply any special food compatibility; it refers only to the
chemical resistance of the material.
(7) Chemical resistance does not imply acceptability for use in airless paintspray applications. These applications
require a special, electrically conductive hose.
