This Aeroquip hose is designed for aviation ground support equipment using straight phosphate ester fluids like Skydrol LD4, Skydrol 500B, and Hyjet IVA Plus.
Question by: Neil F on Apr 13, 2025, 3:40 PM
does this hose hold up to Skydrol? we run LD4 in our ground support equipment and need something that ain't gonna deteriorate on us
Answer by: Customer Support on Apr 15, 2025, 6:13 AM
Skydrol LD4 is one of the phosphate ester fluids this hose is specifically built for. The EPDM tube and cover are chemically compatible with straight phosphate ester base fluids, which includes Skydrol LD4, Skydrol 500B, and Hyjet IVA Plus. Just make sure you're running straight phosphate ester fluid and not a blend with other fluid types, since compatibility is rated for those specific fluids only.
