Description
Product Overview
The JGB Eagle Hose is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of fuel dispensing in commercial service stations, fleet fueling depots, and industrial environments. Measuring 15 feet in length, the hose provides ample reach for connecting pumps to vehicle tanks without excessive looping or kinking. The inner conduit is constructed from RMA Class A black nitrile rubber, a material selected for its superior resistance to aromatic hydrocarbons, gasoline, diesel and other petroleum products. Over the nitrile core is a black CPE (chlorinated polyethylene) outer cover that adds protection against ozone, UV exposure, weathering, oil spills and flame, extending the service life of the hose even in harsh outdoor conditions. Reinforcing the hose is a braided layer of high‑tensile steel wire, which delivers the necessary strength to sustain a maximum working pressure of 150 psi while maintaining flexibility for easy handling.
The hose terminates in two factory‑installed 3/4 inch chrome‑plated brass NPT swivel fittings, providing a secure, leak‑free connection to standard fuel dispensers and allowing quick rotation to prevent hose twist during operation. The chrome plating not only enhances corrosion resistance but also offers a smooth surface that reduces wear on mating threads, ensuring a long service interval. With an inner diameter of 3/4 inch and an outer diameter of 1.13 inch, the hose balances flow capacity with durability, delivering consistent fuel transfer rates while resisting deformation under pressure.
The Eagle Hose conforms to industry standards for chemical hose performance, meeting the requirements of ASTM D471 for fuel resistance and IEC 60204 for electrical safety in hazardous locations. Its package dimensions of 18.8 × 18.5 × 2.1 inches and a weight of 7.08 lb make it easy to handle during inventory stocking and shipping. The product carries the model number AWB1212180 and is listed under ASIN B00D3TNPMK, reflecting its availability in major e‑commerce platforms since 2013. JGB Enterprises’ reputation for precision‑engineered fluid handling components is reinforced by the hose’s ranking as #76 in the Industrial Chemical Hoses category, indicating strong market acceptance among professionals who demand reliable fuel transfer solutions.
Usage
In a typical gasoline service station, the Eagle Hose connects the underground pump to the vehicle’s fuel inlet, allowing attendants to fill tanks quickly and safely. The 15‑foot length is long enough to reach larger trucks and SUVs without the need for additional extensions, yet short enough to be stored neatly on a hose reel or rack when not in use. The flexible yet robust construction prevents kinking when the hose is coiled, ensuring a smooth flow of fuel even after repeated bending cycles. Operators appreciate the quick‑connect swivel fittings, which can be rotated to align with the pump nozzle, reducing the chance of accidental spills or hose damage. Because the hose meets a 150 psi pressure rating, it can handle the high‑flow rates of modern pumps while maintaining a tight seal, providing peace of mind for both staff and customers. The hose’s smooth interior surface minimizes turbulence, which helps maintain fuel quality by reducing the introduction of air bubbles that can affect engine performance. Its compatibility with both manual and automatic pump systems allows it to be used across a range of station layouts, from compact urban forecourts to sprawling rural service areas.
For fleet operators and commercial garages, the Eagle Hose offers a reliable solution for refueling trucks, buses, and heavy‑equipment that require larger fuel volumes. The durable nitrile core resists the aggressive additives found in diesel and biodiesel blends, while the CPE outer layer protects against the abrasive effects of dust and road grime that can accumulate during outdoor refueling. The braided steel reinforcement gives the hose the strength to withstand the torque generated when larger fuel hoses are pulled or repositioned, preventing premature failure. The chrome‑plated brass swivels are compatible with standard NPT‑threaded fuel dispensers, allowing seamless integration into existing fueling infrastructure without the need for adapters or custom fittings. When used in a garage setting, the hose can be coiled on a wall‑mounted reel, freeing floor space and keeping the work area organized. The hose’s resistance to oil and chemical spills also means that accidental drips can be wiped away without degrading the material, simplifying cleanup and maintaining a safe environment.
The Eagle Hose is designed to perform in a wide temperature range, from –40 °F (–40 °C) up to +120 °F (+49 °C), making it suitable for use in cold winter mornings as well as hot summer afternoons. Its resistance to ozone and UV radiation means the hose will not become brittle or crack when exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods. Additionally, the flame‑retardant properties of the CPE cover provide an extra safety margin in environments where sparks or hot surfaces may be present, such as near engine bays or industrial loading docks. The hose’s chemical‑resistant construction also makes it appropriate for handling other petroleum‑based fluids, including kerosene, jet fuel, and certain cleaning solvents, expanding its utility beyond gasoline alone.

FAQ
What types of fuel can the Eagle Hose safely dispense?
The Eagle Hose is rated for gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, kerosene, jet fuel and other petroleum‑based fluids. Its nitrile core and CPE cover resist aromatic compounds and oil, making it suitable for a wide range of fuel types.
How do I install the swivel fittings?
Each end of the hose comes with a pre‑installed 3/4 inch chrome‑plated brass NPT swivel. Simply align the male threads with the corresponding female NPT port on your pump or dispenser, hand‑tighten, and then use a wrench for a final snug fit. The swivel action allows you to rotate the hose to prevent twisting.
What maintenance is required to keep the hose in good condition?
Regularly inspect the hose for signs of wear, cuts or abrasions. Clean the outer surface with mild detergent and water after spills. Store the hose coiled on a reel away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Replace the hose if the inner nitrile layer shows damage.
Is the hose compatible with diesel and biodiesel?
Yes, the nitrile rubber core is formulated to resist the additives found in diesel and biodiesel blends, and the CPE outer cover protects against the higher lubricity of these fuels, ensuring reliable performance.
Can the Eagle Hose be used in fire‑suppressed environments or near open flames?
Yes, the hose’s CPE outer cover is flame‑retardant and meets NFPA standards for limited flame exposure, allowing safe operation in areas where sparks or hot surfaces may be present, provided the hose is not directly immersed in fire.
