A hydraulic hose is a very important hydraulic tool designed for the sole purpose of conveying hydraulic fluid to other hydraulic components. It consists of various layers because the hydraulic systems usually operate on a very high pressure.

These hydraulic hoses, pipes and tubes are connected to various pumps and cylinders with the help of hydraulic hose fittings like bosch hydraulic hose fittings.

There are various types of hydraulic hoses, so let’s look at all the different types of hydraulic hoses. 

  • Metal hydraulic hoses are usually much heavier that is why people opt for reinforced rubber hoses. Since they weigh much less than metal, it becomes very easy to move hydraulic hoses. Another big advantage of rubber hose is that they adapt very easily with hydraulic hose fittings. 

  • Another type of hydraulic hoses is return lines. They are used to transfer fluid back to the pump, once the fluid is into the pumps, the pressure is released. Return lines are not as expensive as other hoses, which is why it is used more often, and it is reliable too.      

  • A very useful type of hydraulic hoses, steel reinforced Teflon is used as a replacement of steel hydraulic hoses. Teflon is used along with steel reinforcement so that it behaves exactly as a steel hydraulic hose. It is also a good replacement of a rubber hose, it has higher resistant towards heat as compared to rubber hoses.

A hydraulic hose along with metric adapters is a very important tool and these were the various types of hoses we can use.
