WILDCATTER® UHMWPE CORRUGATED CHEMICAL SUCTION HOSE

Parker’s Wildcatter UHMWPE Corrugated Chemical Suction Hose provides superior service across a wide variety of chemical media in high pressure and high temperature applications. The hose provides full suction capability, superior kink resistance and minimal force-to-bend for easy operator handling. The hose will not contaminate the product being conveyed, and is crush resistant and durable. The blue or geen cover is easily identified and resists abrasion, chemicals and weathering for maximum performance. Wildcatter Chemical Hose is qualified with permanent crimp couplings for a safe and secure connection and provides robust service in challenging applications.

The Wildcatter trade name indicates the product is designed and manufactured for premium service in oilfield applications. However, Wildcatter products may be used in other industries, markets and applications where the product meets the required performance criteria.

Markets:
• General Industrial
• Oilfield
• Oil & Gas
• Transportation

Features/Benefits:
• Tube: Translucent ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene UHMWPE for chemical resistance to 180°F.
• Reinforcement: Multiple textile plies for strength and durability, and a dual wire helix for full suction capability and a path to conduct a static charge to ground.
• Cover: Blue or green EPDM for abrasion and chemical resistance.
• Couplings: Qualified with steel crimp couplings for a durable, safe and secure connection.

Applications:
• Acids
• Chemicals
• Solvents
• Oilfield equipment and service trucks
• Bulk depots and storage facilities
• In-plant transfer
• Refineries
• Transport tank trucks

Safety/Technical:
• Design Factor: 4:1
• Refer to CrimpSource® for current crimp specifications.

Warnings:
• Selection of a hose for any chemical application is a challenging and complex process. Media temperature is a crucial aspect of the selection procedure. Being unaware of, misunderstanding or overlooking this issue may lead to an incorrect/inaccurate hose selection and misapplication.
• The data tables published in the Parker Industrial Hose Chemical Guides are based on tests and believed to be reliable—but the data should be used ONLY as a guide. The compatibility ratings for rubber/non-PVC materials apply to media at 70°F (21°C). However, chemicals may become increasingly aggressive as their temperatures progress above that level. Chemicals at elevated temperatures may reach or exceed the performance capacity of a hose, even if that hose rating exceeds 70°F (21°C).
• Contact us for chemical compatibility data at elevated temperatures. If no data exists, it is the user’s responsibility to determine hose/chemical/ temperature compatibility. All critical applications should be tested.
• At operating temperatures of 125°F and above, only permanently attached couplings should be installed. At any operating temperature, couplings attached with bands or clamps may reduce the working pressure of the hose assembly to less than the maximum rated working pressure of the hose. Refer to the NAHAD Industrial Hose Assembly Guidelines.
• Do not use with internally expanded couplings. Refer to chemical hoses that incorporate a MXLPE tube.
