Braided Reinforced Hose | PASS | Lightweight High-Pressure Lines

A PASS reinforced hose is a masterclass in polymer and textile engineering:

Inner Tube: A seamless, extruded tube made from fluid-specific materials (e.g., Nylon, TPV, EPDM) ensuring smooth flow and excellent chemical resistance.

Reinforcement Layer: The core of our strength. A precise, braided sleeve of high-tensile Nylon or Polyester yarn. This layer provides outstanding burst pressure resistance while maintaining excellent flexibility.

Protective Outer Cover (Optional): An optional abrasion-resistant cover (e.g., TPV, EPDM) can be applied to protect the braid from external damage, moisture, and underhood abrasion.

This construction is ideal for a vast range of medium to high-pressure applications.

● High Burst Pressure Resistance: The high-tensile textile braid provides excellent strength, offering significantly higher burst pressure ratings compared to unreinforced hose, making it perfect for fuel, steering, and hydraulic systems.

● Lightweight & Flexible: Nylon and polyester braids offer a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to metal, reducing overall vehicle weight and allowing for easier, more flexible routing in tight engine compartments.

● Minimal Expansion: The braid effectively restricts tube expansion under pressure, ensuring consistent fluid delivery and maintaining system efficiency (e.g., providing a firm steering feel).

● Superior Pulse Fatigue Resistance: Excellent resilience against the constant pressure cycling and vibrations found in power steering and fuel injection systems, ensuring long service life.

● Cost-Effective Performance: Provides an optimal balance of performance, durability, and cost, offering tremendous value without compromising on critical specifications.

● Corrosion Resistance: Unlike metal braids, our textile reinforcements are inherently immune to rust and corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability.

● Construction: 2 or 3-Layer: Inner Tube + Textile Braid (+ Optional Outer Cover)

● Inner Tube Materials: Nylon 11/12, Nylon 6/66, TPV, EPDM

● Reinforcement Materials: High-Tensile Nylon Yarn, High-Tensile Polyester Yarn

● Temperature Range: -40°C to +135°C (depending on material combination)

● Pressure Rating: Custom engineered to meet specific system demands, typically suitable for pressures up to 200 bar (2900 PSI) and beyond, depending on design.

● Standards: Compliant with IATF 16949, ISO 9001, and meets relevant SAE (e.g., J188) and OEM performance standards.

PASS braided hoses are expertly specified for a wide range of applications:

Fuel Systems: Ideal for high-pressure fuel lines in direct injection (GDI) systems, pump-to-rail connections, and return lines.

Power Steering Systems: Excellent for medium and high-pressure supply and return lines where pressure pulsation and flexibility are key.

Braking & Hydraulic Clutch Systems: As durable protective sleeves and for hydraulic fluid transfer.

Transmission Oil Cooling Lines: For efficient and durable hot oil transfer.

Engine Lubrication Systems: For oil breather and auxiliary oil lines.

Air Conditioning Systems: As reinforced refrigerant lines.
