Required Information
Length: Either 'Flare to Flare' or 'End to End'
Size: Dash number or wrench size of nut.
Fittings: Straight to Straight, Straight to 90 etc.
Hose Type: See Below
Firesleeve: Yes or No
Clock Angle: Only if both fittings are elbow fittings.
Hose Type and Applications
111 Cloth Braid Rubber Hose – Mainly used on brake applications rated up to 3000 psi (-4 size) working pressure. Also commonly used for fuel and oil.
124 Stainless Steel Teflon Hose – Mainly used for fuel and oil. Can be used for medium pressure hydraulic applications up to 1500 psi working pressure.
156 Stainless Steel Rubber Hose – Mainly used on Cessna aircraft for fuel and oil due to its lightweight construction and superior bend radius. Rated to 1500 psi working pressure.
130 Cloth Brain Rubber Hose – Mainly used on Beechcraft King Air aircraft for fuel and oil. Rated to 1500 psi working pressure.
171 Stainless Steel Teflon Hose – Mainly used for hydraulic systems up to 3000 psi working pressure.
193 Rubber Hose – Mainly used for instrument hoses. Rated for air and vacuum up to 200-300 psi depending on size.
Main Hose for Brake/Hydraulic Use: 171, 111, 124 (note only Teflon lined hose are applicable for Skydrol – i.e. 124 & 171)

When your hose needs to have 2 angles installed, you will need to know the twist on the fittings. To do this, start with one angle in your hand pointing straight down (6 o’clock position). Then relative to a clock, figure out what “time” the other points.
Hose Measuring:
- We highly recommend when measuring for the hose length that you measure from sealing surface to sealing surface (flare to flare).
- We do understand that can be difficult at times, so measuring from the end of the B-nut to the end of the other B-nut (tip to tip) is necessary.
