Parflex 53DM DuraMax™ Hose

Designed specifically for lift trucks, this rugged design maximizes hose life in over-the-sheave applications. Parker DuraMax™ hose incorporates a unique bonding process with a high level of contact strength between the layers of core, braid and low-friction jacket. Coupled with a 3,000 psi constant pressure, 53DM hose is unmatched in performance.

Why Thermoplastic / Why Fluoropolymer

Learn more about the differences between a thermoplastic hose or tube and a fluoropolymer one, why a thermoplastic hose excels over a rubber hose and when temperature is a factor, why a fluoropolymer hose is needed. Visit Parker's "Why Thermoplastics" website and review the full package of advantages available when using thermoplastic and fluoroplastic hose and tubing.

Custom Solutions For Increased Performance

TOUGHJACKET™ hoses are the next generation in thermoplastic hose, offering 650x the abrasion resistance of standard rubber hose. Currently, the TOUGHJACKET series includes four hoses for fluid transfer applications and one for ultra high pressure (UHP) waterblast.

Parflex specializes in hose technology for extreme applications. Nothing is more extreme or harder on hoses than continual flexing along cable tracks.. Parflex offers more than 6 hoses designed to withstand different environments, pressures and placement on heavy duty forklifts and lift trucks. Whatever your problem, we probably already have the solution.

Parflex formed hoses can drastically reduce assembly costs by speeding up installation times and reducing misalignments. Like formed hoses, bonded hoses can reduce maintenance calls. They improve the management of the hose and increase its overall strength. Bonded hoses are particularly beneficial in lift truck, hydraulic crane and aerial lift applications.

Parflex offers both high pressure and low pressure CNG hoses, providing customers the ability to meet their toughest requirements and to purchase the complete package from Parker. For on-vehicle and fuel dispensing, Parflex 5CNG Electrically Conductive Compressed Natural Gas Hose is a market leader. And weighing up to 30% less than rigid tubing, Parflex CNGRP Regulated Pressure Natural Gas Hose is used on-vehicle downstream of the pressure regulator. Although both hoses are CSA listed, CNGRP may be the only low pressure hose that meets ALL CSA requirements.

Weld Spatter Resistant 95FR MicroWeld™ Tubing is an extremely flexible routing solution for tight spaces. This flame and weld-spatter resistant tubing is ideal for low to medium pressure air and water supply lines where weld spatter protection is required. The polyurethane core tube offers excellent hydrolytic stability ensuring that it will not degrade when used in water based applications and the double wall design has a specially formulated flame resistant jacket that meets the UL94 V-0 standard.

Lubrication is more than simply an additive to a machine; it is an integral component of that machine and therefore, should be closely monitored to ensure it maintains its quality. Parflex compact 1/8” HLB grease line hoses save hundreds of dollars in operation waste by eliminating gallons of unnecessary “in-line” grease versus large bore rubber hose. HLB grease hose utilizes a panel mounted hose fitting with an integral zerk fitting port. Locknuts, zerk nipples, and caps can also be sub-assembled.

Parflex Rapid Assembly Fittings are designed to be used with Parflex thermoplastic hoses that use 56 series fittings. Their quick connect design offers plug and play convenience in a very compact, economical system. The video shows the 685RA adapter being installed in the port of a valve or cylinder. The hose assembly, with the Rapid Assembly tube stub fitting, is stabbed into the adapter during assembly….simply push in, bottom out and pull back to ensure it is completely inserted. The fitting is now permanently attached.
