Thermoplastic R7 Hydraulic Hose (1 PLY)

Thermoplastic R7 Hydraulic Hose (1 PLY)
The Thermoplastic R7 Hydraulic Hose (1 PLY) is a high-performance medium-pressure hydraulic hose designed for precision fluid power systems. Featuring a high-tensile single-layer synthetic fiber braid, this hose offers a lightweight alternative to wire-braided rubber hoses. Its thermoplastic core ensures a smooth internal bore, minimizing pressure drops and providing excellent chemical compatibility with hydraulic fluids, oils, and gases. Compliant with SAE 100 R7 standard. Non-conductive versions available for electrical utility and aerial lift applications. Available from Flytech Engineering Sdn Bhd with ready stock in Klang, Selangor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is SAE 100 R7 thermoplastic hose used for?
A: SAE 100 R7 thermoplastic hose with 1 PLY synthetic fiber braid is used for medium pressure hydraulic and pneumatic systems where lightweight, kink resistance, and non-conductive options are required. Common applications include aerial lifts, electrical utility equipment, agricultural machinery, and robotics.

Q: Why is R7 thermoplastic hose better for aerial lift applications?
A: R7 thermoplastic hose with synthetic fiber braid (no steel wire) is electrically non-conductive — essential for aerial lift, bucket truck, and electrical utility maintenance applications where the hose may come into contact with energised electrical conductors. Steel wire braided hose conducts electricity and is a safety hazard in these applications.

Q: What pressure does R7 1 PLY thermoplastic hose handle?
A: Working pressure varies by bore size — typically 50-200 Bar for medium pressure hydraulic applications. Contact Flytech Engineering for specific pressure ratings.

Q: What sizes are available for R7 thermoplastic hose?
A: Available in bore sizes from 3mm to 25mm (1/8″ to 1″) with ready stock at Flytech Engineering in Klang.

Q: Where can I buy SAE 100 R7 thermoplastic hose in Malaysia?
A: Available from Flytech Engineering Sdn Bhd in Klang, Selangor with ready stock. Non-conductive grade available on request. Contact us for pricing and assembly.
