Fastul R8 Thermoplastic Hose Overview

Fastul R8 is a thermoplastic hydraulic hose for selected high-pressure fluid-power applications where a compact, lightweight hose construction may be required. The existing product information identifies SAE 100R8 / EN 855 R8, a nylon thermoplastic core, two braids of high-tensile synthetic fibre and an abrasion-resistant polyurethane cover.

SAE 100R8 and EN 855 R8 Identification

Confirm the exact applicable standard

The listing references SAE 100R8 and EN 855 R8. Buyers should verify the hose marking, current manufacturer data, applicable standard edition, size-specific working pressure, burst ratio, minimum bend radius and impulse requirement. A standard family name is not one universal rating for all sizes.

Thermoplastic Core and Fibre Reinforcement

Published hose construction

The core is described as oil-resistant nylon thermoplastic, reinforced by two braids of high-tensile synthetic fibre and protected by a synthetic polyurethane cover intended to resist abrasion. Fluid permeation, chemical compatibility, moisture, UV exposure and electrical characteristics should be reviewed for the actual duty.

Temperature and Fluid Compatibility

Check limits for the selected fluid

The existing information lists -40°C to +100°C. This range must be confirmed for the exact hose, hydraulic fluid and pressure condition. Water-based fluids, chemicals, gases or non-hydraulic media require separate compatibility and permeation review.

Pressure, Flow and Bend-Radius Selection

Working pressure varies by hose size. Provide normal pressure, relief setting, surge or impulse conditions and required flow. Select hose ID using both flow and pressure-drop needs, and route the assembly within the documented minimum bend radius without twisting or kinking.

End Fittings and Assembly Control

Use compatible fittings, ferrules and assembly dimensions specified for the exact thermoplastic hose series. Rubber-hose components should not be assumed suitable. State the thread or flange standard, end orientation, overall length, crimp or swage requirements and any protective sleeve needs.

Installation, Inspection and Replacement

Protect the hose from sharp edges, hot surfaces, excessive flexing and external abrasion. Allow for movement without tension at the fittings. Inspect the cover, coupling retention and leakage condition regularly, and isolate all stored hydraulic energy before handling or replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every R8 hose have the same working pressure?
No. Check the size-specific manufacturer table and hose marking.

Can R8 thermoplastic hose use standard rubber-hose fittings?
Do not assume so. The hose and fitting system must be validated as a compatible assembly.

What information is needed for a quotation?
Provide hose ID, length, fluid, pressure, temperature, end connections, orientation, movement, quantity and testing needs.
