914World.com _ 914World Garage _ SS braided hose

Posted by: synthesisdv Apr 23 2004, 03:20 PM

There is a huge industrial hose place couple miles from me. They have this stainless braided hose. Has same pressure capacity and ID, OD, temp as the aeroquip, earls, etc...

Do you think this can work with the AN fittings? I'll bet all these companies buy it from these guys anyway.

The catalog spread says its Teflon hose. That isn't anything like the Aeroquip, etc. rubber hose.

However, it is very like the brake hose supplied by several vendors for fabricating your own stainless brake lines with fittings from Earl's, et al.

Actually Aeroquip does make fittings for teflon lined metal braided hose. the fittings that you see in your hot rod/ racing catalog are usually for rubber lined hose .
There is a company selling aeroquip fittings on ebay ,in the industrial section , that has those kinds of fittings . do a search for aeroquip and you may come up with the ends you need .
BTW the teflon hoses arent as flexable as the rubber lined hoses.

Good luck

If anyone is interested I have 3 rolls of -8 Teflon Braided hose that I'll sell cheap.... It came from an aircraft project I worked with a few years ago and we never changed the hoses that we were going to swap out... I'll sell it for 100.00 a roll, and that is dirt cheap. I believe there is 20 yards per roll!
