Black power steering hose?

[Denvervet]

[YOUUBE][/YOUTUBE]I've been looking for black braided hose also......that link hose looks like oe rubber hose. It would work but have to have end crimped o unless I'm missing something.

Every manufacturer since day one had black hose...

[DRJDVM's '69]

With that hose you still use the re-useable type fittings.... just like the Aeroquip. If you go to their tech section, it shows them installing the ends on that type of hose.b Thats the hose they used on Offroad 4x4...

No one seems to make a black hose with a braided outer sleeve.....its all smooth..... but at least with these you dont have to have crimp on fittings. All the other high pressure black hose I've found only use crimp on

I'm not sure what kinds of operating pressure you are working with. But Russell has the ProClassic black braided hose. Its rated to 350psi, -30 to+300 deg. F. and is available in various sizes up to -12AN (about 11/16") And uses AN fittings made for that specific hose. (they are also black anodized)

I found it in the Summit catalog.

For the pressure side you'll want at LEAST 1500psi. My pump drives 1450psi. On another note, I could tell you some stories about Russell and power steering fittings..... Suffice it to say there are no more Russell fittings anywhere on my car. Just removed the last one on Friday.

XRP has a blue and a black power steering hose that use steel reusable ends.

Thats good to know.

I had no idea the PS system ran that kind of pressures. I guess I never really thought about it.

You should tell us. i have all Russell fittings and hose on my car.
i user tthe proflex black on all the return sides and their braided powersteering hose on the one pressure hose, i have had no issues other than one fitting that seems to weap ever so slightly. we have used Russell in the shop for 10 years and never had a problem???

Oh except that the proflex black hoes when used in a fuel system "SEEMS" to let the fuel smell through the hose ?? you only notice it when you park the car in a small garage
