Product description
The R16 Compact Two-Wire Braid Hose delivers SAE 100R2-class performance in a noticeably smaller envelope, ideal where routing space and bend radius matter. Conforms to SAE 100R16.
Construction
- Tube: Synthetic rubber (NBR), oil-resistant
- Reinforcement: Two layers of high-tensile steel wire braid
- Cover: Synthetic rubber, abrasion-resistant, MSHA-accepted, wrapped
Performance
Working pressure, as published by the manufacturer: 400 bar at 1/4", 330 bar at 3/8", 250 bar at 5/8", 215 bar at 3/4" and 165 bar at 1", with minimum burst four times working pressure. Continuous service from -40°C to 100°C (120°C intermittent) — ask for a fluid compatibility chart if running aggressive fluids.
Applications
- Tight-routing hydraulic lines on mobile and industrial equipment
- Compact pump and motor connections
- Direct replacement for R2 where space and bend radius matter
Compliance
- SAE 100R16
- MSHA-accepted cover

Supply — Length and packaging the part number is supplied in, as published. O.D. — Outside diameter of the hose, which is what a clamp or a ferrule has to close on.
Working pressure is the published rating for the hose itself. A made-up assembly is limited by its lowest-rated part, so check it against the coupling, the clamp or ferrule, and the temperature you are running at.
Cut lengths and made-up assemblies are prepared in Dubai. Tell us the bore, the length and the ends you need.
