Standard hydraulic hoses, when faced with aggressive acids, powerful solvents, or extreme heat, can degrade, swell, or contaminate the very fluid they are meant to carry. This hose doesn't just contain fluids; it preserves their purity and protects your system. It's the ultimate safeguard for critical processes in pharmaceutical labs, chemical plants, and high-tech manufacturing, where purity and reliability are not just goals, but absolute requirements.
Unmatched Chemical Compatibility: The core advantage of this hose is its PTFE inner tube. PTFE is virtually chemically inert, making it resistant to a vast range of aggressive acids, solvents, fuels, and caustic solutions that would rapidly degrade standard rubber hoses.
Extreme Temperature Capability: This hose is engineered to perform in environments where other hoses fail. It can handle cryogenic temperatures as low as -54°C and extreme heat up to +204°C, making it suitable for applications involving steam, hot oils, or super-cooled fluids.
Non-Stick & Low-Friction Inner Surface: The PTFE tube has an extremely low coefficient of friction. This prevents materials from building up or adhering to the inner walls, ensuring a consistent flow and making the hose easy to clean and purge, which is critical for high-purity applications.
High Purity & Non-Contaminating: PTFE is non-leaching and will not impart any taste, odor, or contaminants to the fluid. This makes the R14 hose the ideal choice for applications in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries where product purity is paramount.
The SAE R14 PTFE Hose is the specialist's choice for applications where chemical resistance, temperature extremes, and fluid purity are non-negotiable.
Chemical Processing & Transfer: The lifeblood of chemical plants. Used for safely transferring a wide variety of aggressive acids, alkalis, solvents, and pure chemical intermediates, ensuring system integrity and preventing costly leaks or contamination.
Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology: Essential for maintaining sterile and pure environments. Used in water-for-injection (WFI) systems, clean-in-place (CIP) and sterilize-in-place (SIP) processes, and for transferring high-purity ingredients where any contamination is unacceptable.
Food & Beverage Production: Ideal for handling food-grade fluids. Used for transferring syrups, juices, dairy products, and other consumables where the non-stick, non-contaminating PTFE liner ensures product quality and taste are preserved.
Aerospace & Automotive: Used in critical systems that operate under extreme conditions. This includes fuel lines for high-performance aircraft, hydraulic systems with synthetic fluids, and paint spray systems in automotive manufacturing where solvent resistance is key.
Industrial Machinery & High-Temperature Systems: Used in specialized industrial applications such as plastic molding machines (for hot oil), steam cleaning equipment, and any system requiring a hose that can withstand high heat and aggressive cleaning chemicals.
The exceptional performance of the R14 hose is a direct result of its specialized, multi-layered construction, where each material is chosen for its unique and superior properties.
Inner Tube (PTFE): The heart of the hose’s performance. The PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) tube provides the unparalleled chemical resistance, temperature tolerance, and non-stick surface. It is the barrier that protects the system and preserves the purity of the fluid.
Reinforcement (Stainless Steel Braid): The source of its strength. A single layer of high-tensile stainless steel wire braid provides the hose with the strength to withstand high internal pressures. The use of stainless steel also provides excellent corrosion resistance, matching the chemical nature of the hose.
Cover (Optional Silicone): While many R14 hoses are left with an exposed stainless steel braid for maximum temperature resistance and flexibility, an optional silicone cover can be added. This cover provides identification through color-coding and protects the braid from external abrasion and contaminants.
When dealing with aggressive chemicals and high-purity fluids, the choice of hose is a critical decision that impacts safety, compliance, and product quality. We distinguish ourselves through an unwavering commitment to material science, deep application expertise, and a true partnership with our B2B clients.

Q1: What is the main difference between an R14 PTFE hose and a standard R2 rubber hydraulic hose?
A1: The primary difference is the inner tube material. An R2 hose has a synthetic rubber tube for use with petroleum-based hydraulic fluids. An R14 hose has a PTFE tube, which provides vastly superior chemical resistance, a much wider temperature range, and a non-stick surface, making it suitable for aggressive chemicals and high-purity applications.
Q2: Can this hose be used for steam applications?
A2: Yes, the PTFE inner tube and stainless steel braid construction give it excellent resistance to high-temperature steam, making it a common choice for steam cleaning and sterilization-in-place (SIP) systems.
Q3: Why is the hose often more expensive than other hydraulic hoses?
A3: The cost is driven by the premium materials and complex manufacturing process. PTFE resin is a high-performance polymer that is significantly more expensive than rubber, and the extrusion and sintering process required to create a flawless PTFE tube is highly specialized.
Q4: What type of fittings should be used with this hose?
A4: You must use fittings specifically designed for PTFE hoses. These fittings typically feature a special ferrule or collet that grips the PTFE tube and the stainless steel braid securely without damaging the PTFE liner. Using standard hydraulic fittings is not recommended and will likely result in a leak.
Q5: Is the uncovered stainless steel braid version flexible?
A5: Yes, the uncovered braid version is very flexible, often more so than a version with a cover. The lack of an outer cover allows the stainless steel braid to move more freely, resulting in a tighter bend radius and easier installation in tight spaces.
