Gates Australia has launched what it claims to be the industry's first multi-purpose hose line.

Designed to help with fuel transfer, hydraulic return, suction lines, and in 20R5 coolant applications, the Multi Master SD MegaFlex line meets SAE 100R4, SAE J30R5, and SAE J20R5 requirements. It has a 1:1 bend radius, an ARPM Class A tube, and is also MSHA-compliant.

The Multi Master SD MegaFlex hose provides customers with a solution to a broad range of demanding applications. The nitrile tube has excellent oil and fuel resistance, and is compatible with air, water, and coolant. Its corrugated chloroprene cover and steel helix reinforcement give it superior 1:1 flexibility and make it effectively kink-free.

The hose can be used from -40°F to +250°F (- 40°C to +121°C) in both suction and discharge applications.

When customers challenged the Gates Australia team with applications that had extremely tight routings and kink-free requirements, the Multi Master SD MegaFlex was its solution.

The Multi Master performs well without kinking, and also solves ergonomic issues during installation with its flexibility.

The Multi Master SD MegaFlex hose is offered in ¾" to 6" sizes with a corrugated black cover and has been validated with both crimp and clamp couplings options.
