Parker introduces abrasion-resistant Push-Lok hose for high-temperature water applications

The insulation helps maintain fluid temperature during operation, reducing heat loss and contributing to lower energy consumption in high-temperature systems. It also supports operator safety by helping limit exposure to hot hose surfaces.

By limiting heat dispersion, the product can help reduce energy consumption and improve overall system efficiency. The insulation also helps prevent condensation-related issues, supporting cleaner and more reliable operation in sensitive or enclosed installations.

Thanks to its tight bend radius, the new hose supports compact routing even in installations where space is limited. Compatible with the company's 82 series fittings, the 8HT-TI hose uses the Push-Lok connection system, enabling fast, simple, and reliable assembly without the need for costly, time-consuming crimping. The result is easier installation, shorter assembly times, and greater flexibility for OEMs, maintenance teams, and system designers.

The 8HT-TI hose is intended for systems operating with hot water, with continuous use at temperatures up to 120degC and short-term peak resistance up to 140degC. Typical applications include industrial hot water circuits, injection molding equipment, heated presses, tempering units, energy chains, and installations where thermal stability, reliable hose operation, limited installation space, and compact routing are important requirements.

"The 8HT-TI hose design combines thermal insulation and abrasion resistance with the flexibility required where space is limited. This gives customers a practical means to simplify hose installation while supporting long-term durability and protection in demanding environments.," said Luca Pozzi, Product Manager at Parker's Polymer Hose Division Europe.
