Trico Rubber Heavy Duty Central Lubrication Hose 5/32″ x 48″

Description

Product Overview

The Trico Rubber Lubrication Hose is engineered for demanding industrial environments where reliable oil delivery is essential. Constructed with a heavy‑duty braided brass exterior, the hose offers superior resistance to abrasion, pressure spikes, and chemical exposure. Both ends feature precision‑machined 5/32″ brass fittings that provide a leak‑free seal and easy connection to standard lubrication ports. With a 5/32″ (1.27 cm) internal diameter and a 48″ (1.22 m) length, the hose delivers a steady flow of lubricating oil to critical components such as bearings, gears, and hydraulic pistons. The flexible rubber core ensures smooth routing around machinery, while the reinforced brass braid prevents kinking and maintains structural integrity under high‑temperature and high‑pressure conditions.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of industrial applications, this hose excels in chemical processing plants, metalworking facilities, and heavy‑equipment maintenance shops. It is ideal for feeding lubricating oil to gearboxes, spindle bearings, and pneumatic actuators where continuous lubrication reduces wear and extends service life. The hose’s chemical‑resistant rubber core tolerates aggressive fluids such as cutting oils, hydraulic fluids, and coolant mixtures without degradation. Its compact 48″ length makes it suitable for confined spaces, allowing technicians to route the hose through tight machine housings and around obstacles with minimal effort. The robust brass fittings are compatible with standard 5/32″ ports, simplifying installation and reducing downtime during equipment servicing.

FAQ

What type of lubricating fluids can be used with this hose?

The hose is compatible with most industrial lubricating oils, hydraulic fluids, and coolant mixtures. Its rubber core is formulated to resist chemical degradation from common additives and contaminants.

Can the hose be used in high‑temperature applications?

Yes. The braided brass exterior helps dissipate heat, and the hose is rated for continuous operation up to 200 °F (93 °C), making it suitable for many high‑temperature environments.

How do I install the brass fittings securely?

Ensure the mating port is clean and free of debris, then hand‑tighten the brass fitting until it is snug. For added security, use a torque wrench to apply the manufacturer‑specified torque, typically around 5 Nm.

Is the hose suitable for pneumatic (air) applications?

While the hose is primarily designed for oil lubrication, it can be used for low‑pressure air delivery where oil‑free operation is not critical. However, for dedicated pneumatic systems, a hose specifically rated for air is recommended.

What warranty does Trico provide for this hose?

Trico offers a one‑year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Customers can contact Trico’s support team for warranty claims or technical assistance.
