RYCO T5 TRUCKER hose is a suitable product for under the bonnet automotive/trucking applications including hydraulic oil, diesel fuel, lubrication oil and transmission oil coolers.
As the name suggests, RYCO T5 TRUCKER is a speciality hose with polyester braid cover specifically designed for the transport industry. The small bend radius and light weight of RYCO T5 hose range makes it advantageous for compact under-the-bonnet routing in automotive/trucking applications.
This range of hose can be found on a wide selection of transport vehicles, including:
- Tippers
- Truck mounted cranes
- Tilt trays
- Skip trucks
- Vacuum trucks
- Buses
- Coaches
- Trains
- Trailers
- Light and heavy vehicles
The small bend radius, temperature resistance construction of this hose makes it ideal for “Automotive Air Brake Hose” used in truck air brake systems. This includes flexible connections from frame to axle, tractor to trailer, trailer to trailer, and other unshielded air lines that are exposed to potential pull or impact.
T5 TRUCKER may be used with compressed air if maximum working pressure is reduced by 30%. This hose is normally used where there is minimal abrasion to the outside cover.
If abrasion is a potential risk, it is recommended to support the hose away from the source of abrasion using mounting clamps. Alternatively high quality hose protection can be installed to assist with minimising abrasion and premature wear with RWA Wire Armour or RSG Spiral Guard.
