Easier, faster line
identification

In applications where a number
of hose lines carry different media,
Push-Lok colors reduce timely
“tracing” of lines, preventing
disconnection of the wrong line and
unnecessary, costly downtime.

More efficient,
preventive maintenance

Using color-coded Push-Lok hose
is an excellent way to keep track
of scheduled replacement of low­pressure hose in your operations.
Just assign a different color hose
to each replacement period and
eliminate the possibility of missing
lines scheduled for replacement.

Enhance your
products’ appearance

For equipment manufacturers and
their customers, using Push-Lok
color hoses can vastly improve the
visual and functional appeal of
work equipment, on-line systems
and the overall facility.

Create efficient
inventory control

Assign a Push-Lok
color to each
department for
its maintenance
requirements.
The color
system helps
assure that
hoses are
routed to their
correct areas,
resulting in better
control over hose
inventories.

Help identify
industrial drop lines

Use Push-Lok colors to identify
drop line length and diameter for
faster and easier replacement.
When replacing by color, the
right size and length are
automatically set.

Inner liner is an extruded, synthetic
rubber, making it resistant to
petroleum-base oil, air and water.

Barbed Push-Lok fitting seals
tightly, securely.

High-quality elastomer cover –
lively feel, excellent flexibility
and resistance to abrasion.

Fiber braid reinforcement layer
is impregnated with synthetic
rubber for added durability.

Advantages of the Push-Lok
Color Coding System

1.Cut hose cleanly
and squarely with
a sharp knife or a
Parker Push-Lok
cut-off tool.

2.Lubricate the
Push-Lok fitting
and/or hose I.D.
with a light oil or
soapy water only.
Do not use heavy
oil or grease.

3.Insert fitting into
hose until the
barb is in the
hose.

4.Place end fitting against a flat object
(bench or wall).Grip hose approximately
one inch from end and push with steady
force until the end of the hose bottoms
on the fitting and is covered by the
yellow plastic cap.

1.Leave fitting in
place and cut
hose lengthwise
from the yellow
cap approximately
one inch.
IMPORTANT:
Be careful not to
nick barbs when
cutting hose.

2.Grip hose and
give a sharp
downward tug
to disengage
the fitting.

Caution: Push-Lok fittings will properly
grip Push-Lok hose only when pushed
all the way in with the cut end of the
hose completely concealed by the
yellow plastic cap.

Sealing integrity may be damaged
by using exterior clamps.

Premium products and
leak-free solutions are
what you’ll get with every
Parker Push-Lok hose and
fitting system. With the
most complete line of
high-quality, low-pressure
hose and fittings, Push-Lok
is the answer to all your
