got a low pressure return line on a hydraulic setup, is this Aeroquip textile braid hose the kind thats meant for that?

Answer by: Customer Support on Jul 28, 2025, 3:37 PM

For low pressure return lines in hydraulic systems, this hose is a match. It is built as a 1 ply textile braid hose with an AQP inner tube and polyester reinforcement, which fits that return line role.

what's the minimum bend radius on this hose, and does that -12 dash size mean it'll work on a 3/4 inch return line fitting?

Answer by: Customer Support on Apr 1, 2026, 7:53 AM

At dash size -12, you're looking at a 3/4 inch nominal size, so yes, that lines up with standard 3/4 inch return line fittings. The minimum bend radius on this hose is 6 inches, so you'll want to make sure your routing has enough clearance to avoid kinking it tighter than that. Keeps the hose life where it needs to be and protects the braid construction over time.

What kind of pressures can this hose handle, generally speaking?

Answer by: Customer Support on Jan 30, 2026, 8:21 AM

This Aeroquip textile braid hose is really meant for lower pressure return lines in hydraulic systems. It's not designed for the high-pressure stuff.
