Different types of hydraulic hose

Different Types of Hydraulic Hoses

• 2SN is a 2-wire braided hose with a "normal" bend radius.

• 2SC is a 2-wire braided hose that's considered "compact" bend radius (e.g. half the bend radius of 2SN).

• 4SP is a 4-wire spiral hose

• 4SH is a 4-wire spiral hose that's higher pressure
