Engineered for demanding hydraulic applications, this Eaton Aeroquip Hose is built around a chlorinated polyethylene tube and reinforced with a single-ply aramid braid. The polyester cover delivers premium abrasion resistance, making it well-suited for environments where hose routing exposes lines to contact with machine surfaces or hardware.
Rated for a minimum working temperature of -40°F and carrying a dash size of -4, this hose maintains reliable performance across a range of mobile and industrial hydraulic circuits. A minimum bend radius of 1.25 inches supports compact routing in tight installations, while the conductive construction addresses static dissipation requirements. Compatible fittings are limited to Crimp OTC types.
Does this hose handle cold starts okay? Running equipment that sits outside overnight and temps drop real low sometimes.

Cold mornings won't give this hose much trouble. It's rated down to -40°F, so even hard winters shouldn't cause cracking or stiffness issues at startup. The chlorinated polyethylene tube holds up well at low temps, and the aramid braid reinforcement keeps things stable once pressure builds.

trying to snake this hose through a tight spot, how tight can i bend it without kinking it

For tight routing, the minimum bend radius on this hose is 1.25 inches. Keeping your bend at or above that radius helps it hold its shape and avoid damage in compact installs.
