Steel Braided

[jwfoulk12]

Hey guys, So I'm looking to replace all the steel braided line that runs inside my unit. Any suggestions as to where to get it and what to use? I've had a few breaks over the years and have just used Goodyear Neptune but was looking for something that might be a little better. Thanks in advance.

Any moderately sized metropolis should have a Parker hose and fitting shop that can make you what ever you want

We've bought some of this and so far it has held up pretty well. I'm not sure it is actually any better that Goodyear or not but it is as easy to use as Goodyear. Check with Jim I'm sure he can get you some.

Windtrax is where we buy Goodyear when we feel like taking a gamble.

I picked some up from Windtrax a couple months ago. They are somewhat local to me (can't remember where). Great service and price on the Neptune. It's sold by the foot, so pick whatever length (s) you need.

Still haven't tried Parker but I'd like to. Parker would probably work ok for me all the way to the van because I run a "high heat" Cleanco PTO.

Windtrax is in KC which is just a few hours from you.

Don't complicate your life needlessly. Find your local Parker store and stick with Goodyear.

Unless you have something else LOCAL.

I don't like the Goodyear hoses for my machines. To many have broken over the years. All the lines that blueline installed are still originals except maybe one because I cracked the fitting. Zero hoses have broken. The ends are stainless along with the inside cone. The lines are similar to what's on the prochem or saphire upholstery tool.

The Parker store here does not stock high temp hose.

I used stainless braided teflon hoses with a plastic tube covering. All my machine hoses are that kind. Your machine will blow up before you blow out those hoses

Me too.. Teflon lined hose. .

I use Goodyear only because of it's flexibility. Every other hose that I have tested coiled up so badly that I was constantly fighting it.

And losing ...

"Runs inside my unit"..

Where do you get the teflon lined hose? No Parker store here in my little town either. I have a rental shop that has hydraulic hose but its not teflon lined so it would rust.

This is where I get mine..

I'm fortunate, I have a local hose supplier.
Unless you're on Vancouver Island, might not be any help to you

Pretty sure he is talking about the SS lines not solutions hose. What machine do you have? If it is a prochem just tell me the part number and we can make it for you here. If not call and give my guys the size and length and the fittings and they can make them. Other then that you will need to take them off and have them made. You can call and talk to TW and he can help you figure out what you need.
