Parker Hannifin, a global leader in motion and control technologies, has launched the Push-Lok plus 801-12-Blue low-pressure multi-purpose hose, a game-changer designed to enhance operational efficiency across diverse industrial sectors. This innovative hose combines user-friendly design, broad compatibility, and reliable performance, making it an ideal solution for businesses seeking to streamline fluid system assembly and maintenance.
At the heart of the Push-Lok plus 801-12-Blue hose is its proprietary Push-Lok plus technology, which revolutionizes the connection process. Unlike traditional hoses that require specialized tools or clamps, this hose enables quick and secure assembly—users simply push the fitting into the hose end until it reaches the standard depth, eliminating time-consuming installation steps and reducing the risk of human error. The blue color-coding, part of Parker’s intuitive color system, further simplifies operations by allowing for rapid identification and management in complex piping setups, minimizing mistakes during system checks or upgrades.
Constructed from high-quality synthetic rubber, the hose boasts exceptional flexibility and durability, ensuring long-lasting performance even in demanding environments. It offers a versatile pressure range of 200-350 PSI (with the 801-12-Blue model rated for a maximum working pressure of 300 PSI / 2.1 MPa) and excels across a wide temperature spectrum: -40°F (-40°C) to 257°F (125°C) for oil applications, up to 185°F (85°C) for water, and 158°F (70°C) for air. With an inner diameter of 3/4 inch (approximately 19.1 mm) and an outer diameter of 1.03 inches (around 26.2 mm), it features a fiber braid reinforcement layer, a minimum bend radius of 7 inches (180 mm), and a weight of 0.36 kg/m, along with a 4:1 design safety factor and a vacuum pressure rating of 28 inches of mercury (711 mm Hg).
The Push-Lok plus 801-12-Blue hose exhibits outstanding compatibility with a variety of media, including petroleum-based hydraulic oils, lubricants, pneumatic systems, and coolants. When paired with Parker’s HY series fittings, it can also be used for diesel applications, expanding its utility across multiple industrial scenarios. This versatility has made it a go-to choice in sectors such as construction, utilities, machine tools, ground support, general industry, and automotive. It is particularly well-suited for low-pressure hydraulic systems and water/air applications in the pulp and paper industry.
“With the Push-Lok plus 801-12-Blue hose, we’ve focused on addressing the key pain points of industrial fluid system management—time-consuming assembly, difficult identification, and limited compatibility,” said a spokesperson for Parker Hannifin. “This product not only delivers reliable, leak-free performance but also helps our customers cut down on installation and maintenance time, ultimately boosting their overall productivity.”
As industries continue to prioritize efficiency and reliability, the Parker Push-Lok plus 801-12-Blue low-pressure hose stands out as a versatile, user-centric solution that meets the evolving needs of modern industrial operations. For businesses looking to optimize their fluid systems, this latest offering from Parker Hannifin represents a smart investment in long-term performance and operational excellence.
