I prefer the parker over steel braid. Lighter weight, Bristor field crimps have held well, coil it over-under and its not that bad.
Steel braid gets in just as many knots and is hotter to hold.
Ron, are you ordering your hose from the US or do you have a local supplier?

The Parker world includes the provinces - www.parker.com/portal/site/PARKER/menuitem.b7badf701c337c6315731910237ad1ca/?vgnextoid=0119d7196965e210VgnVCM10000048021dacRCRD&vgnextfmt=EN&from=country&countryname=Canada&srctitle=Canada

Crazy thing is that I can order Parker from a US seller fitted with QC's, then ship it 1/2 way around the world, and it is still less expensive than buying locally after all the guys in the line take their cut.

Mark or any other Butler-ite: Just curious about the Butler hoses. On their site it says they are Steel braided.

"High Pressure Hose - 100' Grey- Our Price: $240.00 The Yellow- $275.00-
A durable high pressure hose for truckmount and portable machines. Constructed of a flexible synthetic compound and hi-tensile steel-braid reinforcement. The hose features a non-scuff, non-marring grey exterior and is supplied with factory installed crimped fittings and heat sleeve for comfortable handling. Hose is rated for 3,000 psi and a burst pressure rating of 12,000 psi at operating temperatures up to 250°F."


To me it sounds pretty much like good year style hose at a very high price. Anything special about it beside the price?

Let me make a call and get the "Skinny" on it....

Eaton Synflex 100R7. We buy it with a new truck and sell it with the truck. Tech damage is the only way it fails. It won't coil small enough to fit on a reel made for steel hose - we just coil it with the vac line on the big reel. Use the internet to find a supplier.

PS: Our guys used to carry screw on field-repair fittings like the one below. If you cut the hose end evenly and the interior of the hose isn't failing, these will last as long as a crimped fitting.

Will Parker hoses prevent this?

You guys are crazy if you think titans can only produce 175F from the MF a few years ago. 230F makes my hoses do this on parking lots. And my continental junk gets it first

No, Ron I'm not a supplier, just wondering where you got yours. I checked at Sycorp last year and they didn't have it. We have a Parker store in Delta but they have to special order it. Looks either way, so far, I will have to bring it in from the US. Just not enough carpet cleaners here using it.

Sycorp ordered it in for me. Guess they stopped making it available. I've had to bring in a LOT of stuff from the US as no suppliers carry it OR they mark it up so much its cheaper for me to bring it in, even paying the shipping, brokerage and taxes.
If I was going to order some I'd probably get it from Wanders and get some other stuff as well. His field crimps work well on it though I've been told they aren't meant for it.

This looks like Parker, higher temp rating but lower psi.

This is the hose I am using. Great being able to have it in green. Any other suppliers offer the Parker type hoses in green or yellow?

Got a local bid for Parflex. $1.87/ft only problem is Parker won't gurantee the 1,000ft I have to buy will be one continuous hose....so I can't be sure I'll get 5 200ft hoses out of it.

Looks like I'll be trying the Cool Flex from Wanders.

Was that Blue cover ?? Talked to Parker & Lisa about the Blue color.

They quoted us much higher cost for the Blue color, & had a 7000 ft minimum.

We would have to have at least 3500 ft of blanket order for the Blue at a higher cost.

Larry, have you noticed any difference in hose performance with the blue? More flexible? lighter? Latest and greatest?

What's the bfd with the blue other than color?
