New Weatherhead Diamond Advantage one and two-wire braid and four-spiral hoses provide higher working pressures and temperature ratings (260°F), plus superior abrasion resistance, compared with previous versions. The H190, H280, H290, and H245L hose styles meet or exceed Euro Norm SN/SC standards. And H430 4-spiral hose exceeds EN 4SP pressures in sizes –8 through –16 and SAE 100R12 standards in all sizes. Applications include construction, ag, and mining equipment and in-plant plastic-molding machines, stamping presses, and robots.
