Higher pressures. Rugged environments. Constantmovement. These are the conditions today'shydraulic hoses have to stand up to every day –day after day. Part of our new, improved MegaSys®

line, G8K spiral-wire hose is designed andengineered to handle extreme applications andoutperform any other 8,000 psi (55.2 MPa) hoseon the market today.

With flexibility comparable to SAE 100R15specifications, G8K hose is ideal for extremehigh-pressure, high-impulse applications foundin mobile construction equipment, boom arms,

hydrostatic drives, mining trucks, excavators andagricultural machinery.

G8K services applications that use standardpetroleum-based hydraulic fluids. Both sizes arecompatible with new two-piece, no-skive G8Kcouplings for outstanding, leak-free performanceand easy assembly fabrication. G8K couplingsare available only with FLC terminations to meet8,000 psi performance.

To handle your toughest high-pressure, high-impulse,high-movement applications, chooseG8K MegaSpiral hose – it's tough to beat.
