High-pressure hydraulic hose
Six-spiral Aeroquip GH466-32 hose has a
constant working pressure of 420 bar for
high-pressure spikes. It operates in temperatures to 120° C and meets EN856/100R15
with Class 0 cool-down leakage in accordance
with SAE J1176. It also surpasses SAE J1405 by withstanding more than 2 million flex impulse cycles. It uses Aeroquip Internal Skive Crimp (ISC) fittings,
which feature an internal and external skive design that separates the socket
into three different zones — dampening, sealing, and wire trap.
