Hydraulic Hose SAE100 R7
SAE 100 R7 Hydraulic Hose is a lightweight thermoplastic hose designed for medium-pressure hydraulic systems requiring compact dimensions, flexibility and excellent abrasion resistance.
Its high-tensile synthetic-fibre reinforcement provides reliable pressure strength without the weight of steel-wire hydraulic hoses. The smooth thermoplastic cover allows easier routing in restricted spaces, while special non-conductive versions are available for equipment operating near electrical hazards.
Typical Hose Construction
- Inner Tube: Seamless thermoplastic tube, commonly nylon or polyester elastomer
- Reinforcement: One braid of high-tensile synthetic fibre
- Outer Cover: Abrasion, weather and chemical-resistant thermoplastic, commonly polyurethane
- Surface: Smooth finish
- Temperature Range: -40°C to +100°C, depending on the hydraulic fluid and hose specification
- Working Pressure: Varies according to hose size and the applicable SAE 100 R7 pressure table
- Colour: Commonly black; other colours may be available
- Non-Conductive Option: Available for specified electrical-hazard applications
- End Connections: BSP, NPT, JIC, metric and other hydraulic fittings available
Key Features
✅ Lightweight and compact construction
✅ Designed for medium-pressure hydraulic systems
✅ Excellent flexibility for tight routing
✅ High-tensile synthetic-fibre reinforcement
✅ Resistant to abrasion, weather and many chemicals
✅ Smooth thermoplastic outer cover
✅ Cleaner construction with minimal rubber contamination
✅ Non-conductive versions available
✅ Custom lengths and complete assemblies available
Typical Applications
- Material-handling equipment
- Construction machinery
- Agricultural machinery
- Forklifts and lift equipment
- Aerial work platforms
- Mobile hydraulic systems
- Industrial machinery
- Lubrication and compatible fluid lines
- Equipment requiring compact hose routing
- Specialised non-conductive hydraulic applications
Important: Working pressure depends on hose size and must be confirmed from the applicable pressure table. System pressure must never exceed the lowest-rated component in the complete hose assembly.
Electrical Safety Notice: A standard SAE 100 R7 hose should not be assumed to be non-conductive. Only use a hose specifically manufactured, marked and tested for non-conductive service when operating near electrical hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions for Hydraulic Hose SAE100 R7
What is the difference between SAE 100 R7 and R8?
R7 is generally designed for medium-pressure service with one synthetic-fibre braid. R8 commonly uses additional reinforcement and provides higher pressure capacity, depending on hose size and construction.
Is SAE 100 R7 Hose non-conductive?
Only specially manufactured, marked and tested versions are non-conductive. A standard black R7 hose must not automatically be treated as electrically insulating.
Can Ash Hose supply a complete R7 Hydraulic Hose assembly?
Yes. We provide custom assemblies cut to length and crimped with compatible BSP, NPT, JIC, metric or other hydraulic fittings.
