The Flextral GX-04 (GX-04) is a robust hydraulic hose designed for a variety of fluid power applications. This hose is part of the GX series and is notable for its construction, which includes a nitrile tube reinforced by a single braid of high-tensile steel wire. The outer cover of the hose is crafted from black, oil, abrasion, and weather-resistant synthetic rubber that is also MSHA approved, ensuring durability and safety in tough environments. With an internal diameter of 0.25 inches and an outer diameter of 0.52 inches (13.30 mm), the GX-04 can handle maximum working pressures up to 3265 psi and minimum burst pressures up to 13060 psi. It demonstrates excellent flexibility with a minimum bend radius of 4 inches (100 mm), making it suitable for tight routing needs in machinery. The GX-04's temperature range extends from -40°C to 100°C (-40°F to 212°F), with intermittent service up to 120°C (248°F). This makes it capable of handling extreme conditions while maintaining performance integrity. Available in lengths ranging from a minimum of 12 inches up to a maximum of 1200 inches, it offers versatility in use across various installation requirements. Designed primarily for conveying petroleum-based hydraulic fluids, gasoline, water, diesel fuels, lubricating oils, biodegradable hydraulic oil, and fire-resistant synthetic polyesters, the GX-04 serves as an essential component for efficient fluid management in hydraulic systems. Its packaging varies from reels for smaller diameters (3/16 inch to 1 inch) to coils for larger sizes (1¼ inch to 2 inches), facilitating ease of handling and storage. The coupling series compatible with this hose is Series E, ensuring secure connections and consistent performance across applications.
