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:
Certied non-conductive — constructed of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber inner tube, synthetic ber braid
reinforcement, and weather resistant thermoplastic or synthetic rubber cover. Hose labeled certied 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 certied or labeled non-conductive) — constructed of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber inner tube, synthetic ber braid reinforcement, and weather resistant thermoplastic or synthetic rubber cover. This
hose is not certied non-conductive and must never be used near electrical conductors.
