Fiber Braided SAE100 R6 Hydraulic Hose

Product Overview

The SAE100 R6 is a versatile fiber braided hydraulic hose designed to deliver efficient, cost-effective fluid transfer in countless hydraulic applications. As a trusted offering from LEAD-FLEX, this hose combines lightweight design with robust performance, making it a go-to choice for industries seeking reliability without sacrificing maneuverability. Its inner tube, crafted from premium oil synthetic rubber, ensures excellent compatibility with common hydraulic fluids and resists wear. Reinforced with a strong fiber braid layer, the hose handles moderate pressure requirements, while the outer cover—made of oil and weather resistant synthetic rubber—protects against environmental factors and fluid contamination. From small machinery to light-duty industrial systems, the SAE100 R6 hydraulic hose excels in consistent, low-maintenance performance.

Product Advantage

Lightweight and Maneuverable

A key benefit of the SAE100 R6 hose is its lightweight construction, which simplifies handling, transportation, and installation. Unlike heavier steel-braided alternatives, this fiber braided hydraulic hose is easy to maneuver in tight spaces, reducing operator fatigue and saving setup time. Its lightweight design also minimizes stress on connected components, extending the hydraulic system’s lifespan.

Broad Fluid Compatibility

The oil synthetic rubber inner tube of the SAE100 R6 is formulated to work with glycol, mineral oil, lubricants, emulsions, and hydrocarbons. This versatility eliminates the need for multiple hoses for different fluids, cutting costs and streamlining inventory. Note that it is not suitable for phosphate ester groups, ensuring users avoid incompatible fluids for optimal performance.

Durable and Weather Resilient

Despite its lightweight build, the SAE100 R6 hydraulic hose is highly durable. The fiber braid reinforcement enhances structural integrity, handling moderate pressures without losing flexibility. The weather resistant outer cover resists UV rays, moisture, and temperature changes, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor use, even in harsh climates.

Cost-Effective Value

The SAE100 R6 offers exceptional value, combining reliable performance with an affordable price point. Its long service life, low maintenance needs, and versatility make it a budget-friendly solution for small businesses, workshops, and industries with cost constraints—without compromising quality.

Product Uses

Small-Scale Industrial Machinery

The SAE100 R6 fiber braided hydraulic hose is widely used in small industrial machinery like packaging equipment, printing machines, and small hydraulic presses. Its lightweight design and flexibility integrate seamlessly into compact systems, while fluid compatibility ensures smooth operation with common hydraulic fluids.

Hydraulic Tools and Equipment

Portable hydraulic tools—jacks, wrenches, cutters—rely on this hose for reliable fluid transfer. Its lightweight, easy-to-handle design reduces operator fatigue, while durability withstands repeated use and occasional rough handling.

Automotive Repair and Maintenance

In auto shops, the SAE100 R6 is used in hydraulic lifts, brake bleeding tools, and power steering service equipment. Its fluid compatibility and weather resistance suit indoor shop use and on-site repairs, while lightweight design simplifies transportation.

Agricultural Implements

Light-duty agricultural tools—small irrigation pumps, sprayers, portable hydraulic systems—benefit from the hose’s versatility. Its oil and weather resistance withstands outdoor farm conditions, and flexibility allows easy installation on compact implements.

FAQ

Can the SAE100 R6 hose use phosphate ester fluids?

No, it is incompatible with phosphate ester groups. These fluids can degrade the hose material, causing leaks or failure. Stick to glycol, mineral oil, lubricants, emulsions, or hydrocarbons.

What is the temperature range for water conveyance?

When transferring water, the hose operates within a specific range to prevent freezing or overheating. Refer to product guidelines for exact limits, ensuring optimal performance.

Is it suitable for heavy-duty high-pressure use?

No, the SAE100 R6 is for moderate pressures and light to medium-duty applications. For heavy-duty high pressure, choose steel wire braided or spiral hoses like LEAD-FLEX ISO11237 EN857-2SC or EN856-4SH.

How to store the hose when not in use?

Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from sunlight, heat, and sharp objects. Avoid kinking or excessive bending, and keep away from incompatible chemicals to preserve flexibility and durability.

Can it be cut to custom lengths?

Yes, cut to custom lengths with a sharp, clean tool for a straight, fray-free cut. Install compatible fittings for secure, leak-free connections, following proper procedures to maintain performance.
