Stanley GD50 User Manual

HOSE TYPES

The rated working pressure of the hydraulic hose must be equal to or higher than the relief valve setting on the hydraulic system. There are three types of hydraulic hose that meet this requirement and are authorized for use with

Stanley Hydraulic Tools. They are:

Certified non-conductive — constructed of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber inner tube, synthetic fiber braid reinforcement, and weather resistant thermoplastic or synthetic rubber cover. Hose labeled

certified non-

conductive is the only hose authorized for use near electrical conductors.

Wire-braided (conductive) — constructed of synthetic rubber inner tube, single or double wire braid reinforcement, and weather resistant synthetic rubber cover. This hose is

conductive and must never be used near electrical conductors.

Fabric-braided (not certified or labeled non-conductive) — constructed of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber inner tube, synthetic fiber braid reinforcement, and weather resistant thermoplastic or synthetic rubber cover. This

hose is not certified non-conductive and must never be used near electrical conductors.

To help ensure your safety, the following DANGER tags are attached to all hose purchased from Stanley Hydraulic

Tools. DO NOT REMOVE THESE TAGS.
