Swagelok® Thermoplastic Hose
Swagelok® thermoplastic (nylon and polyethylene) core hoses are ruggedly designed to withstand high impulse pressure cycles and dynamic motion, providing strong performance in hydraulic and compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle fueling applications.
View Thermoplastic HosesSwagelok thermoplastic hoses provide strong pressure impulse performance when used with hydraulic pumps and ball valve applications. These hoses perform particularly well in CNG vehicle fueling applications due to the hoses’ resistance to high pressure change, and they are available with NGV and ECE R110 alternative fuel certification.
Our high-performance, multipurpose smooth-bore nylon core hose connects quickly and safely in hydraulic, natural gas, and other general industrial applications with a variety of end connections. Smooth inner wall provides flow control and enhanced drainability for precision and cleanliness while the polyurethane cover resists abrasion.
Swagelok polyethylene hose core material is compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 177 1520 and NSF-51, making it a reliable option for use in food, dairy, and water applications. Internal fiber braid reinforcement layers improve pressure containment and flexibility. The polyurethane cover resists abrasion and prevents moisture entrapment and system contamination.
