Product Overview
Unlike low-quality hydraulic hoses that degrade quickly in harsh conditions, the LEAD-FLEX ISO11237 hydraulic hose is designed to convey hydraulic fluids (such as glycol, mineral oils, and emulsions) in high-pressure systems. It’s a go-to choice for machinery that relies on consistent hydraulic power—from construction equipment to manufacturing lines—thanks to its ability to withstand oil exposure, weather changes, and vibration.
Product Advantage
Superior Oil Resistance
Hydraulic fluids can break down generic hoses over time, causing swelling or leaks. The LEAD-FLEX SAE 100R16 hose’s inner tube is made from oil-specific synthetic rubber, which resists degradation even when in constant contact with mineral oils, glycols, or hydrocarbons. This ensures long-term fluid tightness and prevents system contamination from hose material wear.
Single Wire Braid Reinforcement
The single wire braid reinforcement layer is the hose’s strength backbone. Woven uniformly, the steel wire enhances pressure-bearing capacity, allowing the hose to handle high working pressures without bulging or bursting. It also adds resistance to external impacts—critical for construction sites or factories where hoses may be hit by tools or machinery.
All-Weather Durability
The outer cover of the LEAD-FLEX EN857 hydraulic hose is weather-resistant, meaning it can withstand sunlight, rain, humidity, and temperature swings. This makes it suitable for both indoor use (e.g., factory hydraulic lines) and outdoor applications (e.g., construction cranes or agricultural tractors) without cracking or fading.
Wide Temperature Adaptability
Unlike hoses that stiffen in cold weather or soften in heat, the LEAD-FLEX SAE 100R16 hose operates reliably from -40℃ to +100℃. This range covers most industrial climates—from freezing winter construction sites to hot factory floors—ensuring consistent performance year-round.
Technical Parameters
The LEAD-FLEX SAE 100R16 hose offers a range of inner diameter (I.D.) sizes to match different hydraulic flow needs: smaller I.D.s for low-flow precision systems (e.g., small machinery) and larger I.D.s for high-volume transfer (e.g., heavy construction equipment). The single wire braid reinforcement has a uniform outer diameter (W.D.), ensuring even strength distribution along the hose’s length. Its outer diameter (O.D.) is compatible with standard hydraulic fittings, so you won’t need to modify connectors for installation. The minimum bending radius is designed to allow flexible routing—even in tight spaces like machinery engine bays—without kinking (which restricts flow). The hose’s weight is light enough for easy handling but heavy-duty enough to resist damage, and its overall design aligns with SAE 100R16, ISO11237, and EN857 standards for global compliance.

Product Uses
Industrial Hydraulic Systems
Factories rely on the LEAD-FLEX SAE 100R16 hose to power hydraulic machinery: presses, injectors, and conveyor systems. Its oil resistance ensures the hose doesn’t degrade from constant fluid contact, keeping production lines running smoothly without unplanned downtime.
Construction Machinery
Excavators, loaders, and cranes operate in harsh outdoor conditions—perfect for the LEAD-FLEX EN857 hydraulic hose. Its weather resistance and single wire braid reinforcement withstand dust, vibration, and rain, while its pressure stability ensures hydraulic cylinders and motors receive consistent power for lifting or digging.
Agricultural Equipment
Tractors, harvesters, and sprayers need hoses that adapt to changing weather. The LEAD-FLEX ISO11237 hydraulic hose’s wide temperature range handles cold mornings and hot afternoons, and its durability resists damage from crop residues or field debris. It’s ideal for powering hydraulic attachments like plows or spray nozzles.
Heavy-Duty Vehicles
Trucks with hydraulic lifts (e.g., delivery vans or waste trucks) use the LEAD-FLEX SAE 100R16 hose for reliable fluid transfer. Its compliance with international standards ensures compatibility with vehicle manufacturers’ specifications, reducing the risk of fitting issues or leaks.
FAQ
What hydraulic fluids can the LEAD-FLEX SAE 100R16 hose carry?
It works with most common hydraulic fluids: glycol-based fluids, mineral oils, lubricants, emulsions, and hydrocarbons. Its oil-resistant inner tube prevents swelling or degradation, making it versatile for different industrial applications.
Does this hose comply with global standards?
Yes—the LEAD-FLEX SAE 100R16 hose is fully certified to SAE 100R16, ISO11237, and EN857 standards. This means it meets safety and performance requirements in regions like North America, Europe, and Asia, making it suitable for international projects.
Can the hose handle high vibration from machinery?
Absolutely. The single wire braid reinforcement absorbs vibration from engines or moving parts, preventing the hose from loosening at connections or developing cracks. It’s tested to withstand continuous vibration in heavy machinery without compromising performance.
What’s the difference between this hose and generic hydraulic hoses?
Generic hoses often lack weather resistance or use thin materials that degrade quickly. The LEAD-FLEX SAE 100R16 hose uses premium synthetic rubber and steel braiding, so it lasts 2–3 times longer. It also has a higher burst pressure, making it safer for high-pressure systems.
Is custom length available for the LEAD-FLEX EN857 hydraulic hose?
Yes. We offer custom lengths to fit your equipment’s exact needs—whether you need a short hose for a compact machine or a long one for a large construction vehicle. Custom lengths eliminate waste and ensure a clean, efficient installation.
