Marine Hose and Fitting Specifications
 

USCG-rated Racor Marine Hose is designed for gasoline as well as diesel engine systems and is also recommended for oil lines, transmission fluid lines, and petroleum-based hydraulic fluids.  This hose delivers test-proven performance in a wide operating temperature range and constant working pressure in popular sizes.  It is fire resistant and meets SAE J1527 Type A class and SAE J1942 standards.  It offers long-lasting reinforced construction, kink and cut resistance, and compatibility with a variety of standard 100R5 fittings.

Racor Marine hose features use of No-Skive hose and fittings.  Many benefits are provided by No-Skive hose and fittings including:

• Assembly of No-Skive hose and fittings does not require removal of the outer cover of the hose.
• Use of No-Skive hose and fittings keeps outer cover intact, protecting vulnerable wire wrap during fitting assembly.
• Cushioned grip increases hose life - supporting cushion of compressed rubber between gripping threads on fitting reduces wire movement, minimizing stress.
• Corrosion Protection - steel wire braid of No-Skive hose is never exposed because outer rubber cover is not removed before assembling the fitting.
• No-Skive fittings are designed to allow socket threads to penetrate outer cover of hose and grip the sire braid of the hose.

Simple two step assembly - attach socket to hose, thread nipple to socket
