Tuff Hose for High Pressure Applications



Kurt Tuff Hose is suitable for heavy duty, hydraulic applications. Designed for rugged, high pressure applications, Kurt Tuff hose has 6,500 PSI capacity using less installation space.

"Kurt Tuff Hose has a unique design allowing bending twice as tight as standard SAE hose with half the bend radius," said a company spokesperson. Reinforced internally with two braided layers of high tensile steel wire, this hose retains flexibility with enhanced durability. With an abrasion resistant outer cover (10 times as resistant compared to standard hose cover), Kurt Tuff hose is rated to 1 million impulse cycles.

Additional features include:

  • Lightweight
  • Withstands temperatures from -40 °F up to 250 °F
  • Oil and abrasion resistant synthetic outer cover
  • Great UV rating
  • Meets or exceeds SAE DIN 20023 requirements
  • Meets flame resistant MSHA designation
  • "Higher pressure and longer life than similar hoses," said the spokesperson.

Applications for Kurt Tuff hose include a wide range of spiral hose installations with high pressure ratings. Equipment benefiting from the rugged qualities of Kurt Tuff hose include off highway vehicles, oil drilling equipment, trucks, construction equipment, large machinery and most heavy duty hydraulic applications.

Kurt Tuff hose diameters available range from 1/4" to 1" I.D. and utilizes the Kurt full line of couplings which are interchangeable with other brands. Kurt offers both hose and couplings in cost-effective combination packages and provides special engineering assistance for difficult applications.

Supporting customers fast delivery needs is Kurt's in-stock inventory of over 3 million feet of hose and millions of couplings in thousands of styles to keep customers' systems up and running. Kurt's couplings are made in the USA.
