Mobile Equipment
Parflex mobile equipment hoses are more compact without reducing flow, more flexible without compromising strength and lighter without diminishing performance.
Agriculture
Parflex thermally bonded agriculture hoses handle high impulses (1M cycles) and withstand the rigors of the environment without cracking or swelling.
Lubrication Lines
Compact 1/8" thermoplastic hoses save hundreds of dollars in operation waste by eliminating gallons of unnecessary 'in-line' grease versus larger bore rubber hose.
Material Handling
Parflex over-the-sheave hoses are unmatched in selection. They feature low length change under pressure and long, continuous lengths.
Construction
Parflex hoses are designed to reduce noise in power steering or power tilt applications and low temperature hoses operate as low as -70°F/-57°C.
TOUGHJacket Abrasion Resistant Hose
TOUGHJacket™ constant pressure (up to 4,000 psi) and variable pressure hoses deliver 650x the abrasion resistance of standard rubber hose.
DEF Transfer
Tier IV compliant SCR Heated Hose for on-vehicle DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) transfer, with heated fittings, eliminates condensation problems.
Forestry
Parflex hydraulic hoses, with fiber reinforcements, are freeze-resistant for cold weather reliability and their abrasion resistance is unmatched in the field.
Bring Down The Noise
The Parflex division engineering and sales teams have spent hours of lab time studying noise in order to build hoses that excel in dampening chatter and minimizing vibration.
Lawn & Turf
Lighten your ecological footprint with Parflex hoses. Hoses are up to 40% lighter than the competition with the added benefit of built in UV resistance.
Oil & Gas
Parflex produces so many products for the oil and gas market it’s difficult to highlight just a few. With over 30 years experience of producing thermoplastic hose for oil and natural gas applications, we've produced over 750,000 feet of bundles and over 40 million feet of pilot hose for rigs. View the oil and gas hoses that are changing the industry through new innovations and solution driven design.
Transportation
Did you know that Parflex makes enough air brake tubing in one year to circle the globe? Parflex helps customers reduce overall costs by providing hose and tubing solutions to meet and/or exceed stringent government requirements while increasing throughput and reducing inventory. Typical markets include Truck, Trailer, Bus & Coach, and Military.
Industrial & Chemical Processing
Parflex hoses are unmatched by rubber alternatives for chemicals and corrosive applications. For our customers, this means cleaner core tubes, compact O.D.'s, long continuous lengths and light weight.
Industrial Manufacturing Equipment
Ultra High Pressure Hose
Parkers ultra-high pressure hose assemblies handle pressures up to 58,000 psi for oil and gas, hydraulics and water blast applications. Water blast hoses are a compact, lightweight alternative to traditional water blast hoses. Up to 16% lighter than comparable products.
Electronics & Semiconductor
Parker manufactures fluoropolymer tubing and heatshrink for typical electronic and medical applications such as electrical insulation, splice protection and lab equipment. Products are available in PTFE, FEP and PFA.
For more than 30 years, the Parflex facility in Fort Worth, TX, has manufactured high purity hose and tubing that withstands the ultraviolet rays of the production process and the transfer of hot chemical vapors, corrosive chemicals and other fluids.
