FAQ
Can the SAE100 R7 hose be used for compressed air conveyance?
Yes. The hose is fully compatible with compressed air, making it suitable for pneumatic tools, air compressors, and pneumatic control systems. Its airtight design ensures minimal pressure loss, supporting efficient tool and equipment operation.
What makes the hose durable for long-term use?
The combination of the synthetic rubber inner tube, single fiber braid reinforcement, and oil and weather resistant outer cover creates a robust structure. This design resists wear, abrasion, chemical exposure, and environmental damage, ensuring the hose maintains performance over extended periods.
Is the hose compatible with food-grade fluids?
No. The LEAD-FLEX SAE100 R7 hose is designed for industrial hydraulic fluids, water, and air—not food-grade materials. For food-related applications, please select hoses specifically certified for food contact.
Can the hose be cut to custom lengths?
Yes. The hose can be cut to custom lengths to fit specific installation needs. However, proper cutting and fitting techniques should be followed to ensure a secure, leak-free connection and maintain the hose’s structural integrity.
