Hydraulic Hose Requirements - Stanley SK47 User Manual

HYDRAULIC HOSE REQUIREMENTS

HOSE TYPES
The rated working pressure of the hydraulic hose must be equal to or higher than the relief valve setting on the
hydraulic system. There are three types of hydraulic hose that meet this requirement and are authorized for use
with Stanley Hydraulic Tools. They are:
Certifi ed non-conductive - constructed of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber inner tube, synthetic fi ber
braid reinforcement, and weather resistant thermoplastic or synthetic rubber cover. Hose labeled certifi ed non-
conductive is the only hose authorized for use near electrical conductors.
Wire-braided (conductive) - constructed of synthetic rubber inner tube, single or double wire braid rein-
forcement, and weather resistant synthetic rubber cover. This hose is conductive and must never be used near
electrical conductors.
Fabric-braided (not certifi ed or labeled non-conductive) - constructed of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber
inner tube, synthetic fi ber braid reinforcement, and weather resistant thermoplastic or synthetic rubber cover. This
hose is not certifi ed non-conductive and must never be used near electrical conductors.
HOSE SAFETY TAGS
To help ensure your safety, the following DANGER tags are attached to all hose purchased from Stanley Hydrau-
lic Tools. DO NOT REMOVE THESE TAGS.
If the information on a tag is illegible because of wear or damage, replace the tag immediately. A new tag may be
