siliconePTFEsteel

Eaton’s AE246 series of flexible hose assemblies operate at nominal pressure up to 3,000 psi for hydraulic fluids. Our flexible, sturdy hose design is well-suited for systems with motion and vibration and allow for easier service and connect/disconnect. Hoses feature smooth-bore PTFE inner cores reinforced by stainless-steel wire braids. Hoses include options for protective integral molded silicone fire cover and chafe resistance fiber sleeve. The AE246 hose aligns to requirements for AS1339 standards. 1. Purpose This manual provides specific instructions for maintenance and overhaul of Eaton’s Aeroquip hose assemblies made of high-pressure poly tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) hose. Eaton’s Jackson, Michigan facility manufactures Aeroquip products (Federal Code Number 00624). The manual is divided into three areas of maintenance to enable each maintenance group to complete its service within a sequence of sections. The first area, following “Introduction” and “Identification” which are common to all levels, contains the maintenance and overhaul procedures for hose assemblies removed from service (Sections III through VIII). The second area provides maintenance and replacement instructions for hose assemblies which are in service (Sections IX through X). The last area of the manual is devoted specifically to inspection, storage and disposition of hose assemblies (Sections XI through XIV). 2. Scope Hose assemblies fabricated in accordance with this manual will conform to the requirements listed in Specification MIL-H-38360 and AS1339 are suitable for use in high temperature, 3,000 psi hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
