No matter what the application, Parker Industrial Hose Division provides proven hose systems designed to efficiently and cost-effectively handle your job or application. From general industrial hose needs to the most specific requirements of the specialty markets, our hose products reflect the high quality and service you require.
Our industrial hose products vary to meet the many demands of the industrial marketplace. These include requirements for heat, ozone and weather resistance, chemical resistance, oil and flame resistance and abrasion resistance. By choosing the right hose system, you are ensured of an individual hose assembly that will deliver maximum life, safe handling on the job and productivity.
Our products include reinforced rubber and plastic hose capable of conveying a wide variety of materials ranging from water to hazardous chemicals. These hoses range in size from 3/16" to 30" ID, with pressures up to 3000 PSI.
Many industrial hose manufacturers will suggest which coupling to use with which hose for a given application, but they will not guarantee that combination will perform to the rated burst pressure of the hose.
Parker will.
Our Circle of Safety program establishes Parker's Industrial Hose Division as a single, accountable source with a specific performance guarantee to protect distributors and end users from accidents, unplanned downtime and increased liability associated with failed industrial hose assemblies.

Q: How is Parker's Circle of Safety program different from every other industrial hose manufacturer?
|
|
A: Parker's Industrial Hose Division offers a system, called the Circle of Safety, which allows distributors to fabricate industrial hose assemblies that are safer and more reliable, and that substantially reduce your liability. The Circle of Safety program actually tells the fabricator what crimp fittings work with the hose and how to properly assemble the fitting to the hose.
|
|
Q: This does not seem any different than what is offered by other manufacturers of industrial hose. Is it?
|
|
A: If you check the published literature of other industrial hose, fitting and clamp manufacturers, you will see the responsibility and accountability is passed along to the distributor.
|
|
Q: Why is the Circle of Safety program important to end-users?
|
|
A: As an end-user, you are receiving a “value-added” assembly that is guaranteed to meet or exceed the rated working pressure of the hose. For the first time, one single, accountable source will guarantee that specific, exhaustively tested combinations of hose, fittings and attachment methods will perform to specified application requirements.
|
|
Q: What different types of testing have been conducted by Parker to validate assembly performance?
|
|
A: For more than 20 years, Parker/Dayco have conducted the following tests to validate industrial hose assembly integrity:
- Coupling pull-off
- Impulse
- Tensile
- Electrical conductivity
- Cold bend
- Flex
- Flex impulse with temperature
|
|
Q: How many different industrial hoses manufactured by Parker can the Circle of Safety program be used on?
|
|
A: We have validated more than 175 industrial hoses including chemical, acid, LPG, welding, petroleum, steam, water, air and multi-purpose and many others. And more are being added every week.
|
|
Q: As a customer, how can I be assured that the assemblies will meet or exceed the rated working pressure of the hose?
|
|
A: Hose assemblies, as precisely defined in the Parker Circle of Safety specification software package, are guaranteed to meet or exceed the rated working pressure of Parker’s industrial hoses.
