FAQ
What media is this 4 rubber tubing suitable for?
It is designed for compressed air, water, petroleum-based oils and greases, and mild chemical solutions. Always consult our chemical resistance chart for specific media compatibility.
Can this hose be used for fuel lines?
No. This standard oil-resistant 4 rubber tubing is not designed or certified for gasoline or diesel fuel transfer. Please inquire about our specialized fuel hose products.
What is the minimum bend radius?
The recommended minimum bend radius is approximately 1.5 inches (38 mm). Bending tighter than this may kink the hose and restrict flow.
Do you offer custom printing or branding on the hose?
Yes. We offer custom color striping, company logos, and part number printing on the hose cover for brand identification and traceability.
What are the available packaging options?
We supply standard coils, boxed lengths, or can cut to your exact specifications. Bulk packaging is available for large OEM orders.
