Parker 518D Non-Conductive Thermoplastic Hose – High Density Braid, Medium Pressure Hydraulic Service, 3250 PSI

Description

Parker’s 518D Non-Conductive Thermoplastic Hose is engineered for medium pressure hydraulic service, offering maximum protection against electrical hazards in environments where exposure to high voltage is possible. This hose is built with a high-density braid and a nylon core that enhances both impulse resistance and chemical compatibility compared to standard thermoplastic hoses. Designed for use in various hydraulic applications, it is ideal for equipment and systems where hydraulic circuits are at risk of coming into contact with electrical sources.

The 518D series excels in maintaining flexibility while ensuring durability, thanks to its advanced construction. The hose is available in twin or multi-line constructions, offering versatile assembly options. With a polyurethane cover, it resists abrasion and maintains excellent wear resistance, ensuring a long lifespan even in harsh operating conditions.

In addition to its high-performance features, the 518D hose can be used with field attachable fittings in sizes -3, -4, -8, and -10, allowing for quick and easy hose assembly without the need for crimping tools. This is especially beneficial for on-the-go repairs or installations, making it a popular choice for a wide variety of industries.

With its capability to withstand up to 3250 PSI and extreme temperatures ranging from -40°F to 212°F, Parker’s 518D Non-Conductive Thermoplastic Hose is the perfect solution for applications such as machine tools, mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and material handling systems.
