Gates MegaFlex Braid Hydraulic Hose

Gates MegaFlex braid hydraulic hose, also called M2T MegaFlex 2-wire braid hose, is a high-pressure hydraulic hose for oil lines on mobile and industrial equipment. It has a compact outer diameter and a much tighter bend radius than conventional wire-braid hose. That makes it easier to route in confined spaces and around sharp turns.

Key Features:

• Two-wire braid construction: Two braids of high-tensile steel wire reinforce the hose for high-pressure hydraulic service.
• Tight bend radius: It is designed with a bend radius well below the SAE specification. This gives greater flexibility and easier routing and installation.
• Oil-resistant tube: The black synthetic rubber tube (nitrile, Type C) is made for hydraulic oil service.
• Durable cover: The black synthetic rubber cover (modified nitrile, Type C2) resists oil, abrasion and weather. Gates also offers MegaTuff and XtraTuff abrasion-resistant covers on some versions.
• Industry standards: The hose meets or exceeds SAE 100R16 and SAE 100R2, as well as ISO 11237 2SC R16 and ISO 1436 2SN R2. It also meets the performance requirements of EN 857 2SC and EN 853 2SN.
• Flex-impulse tested: It is tested to 600,000 impulse cycles, so it holds up where equipment movement flexes the hose under pressure.
• Flame resistance: It meets MSHA 2G flame resistance acceptance requirements.

Gates MegaFlex hose suits hydraulic systems on construction equipment, agricultural machinery, industrial machinery and vehicle maintenance. Pair it with Gates-compatible couplings to build a complete hose assembly. Pick the size and length that match your application.
