EXTRUDED TEFLON* HOSE AND FITTINGS

A. APPLICATION High performance,

lightweight Unibraid hose is rated for
operating pressures to 5000 PSI.
Because of its patented construction features,
UNI-BRAID is highly desirable for use in a wide
variety of high-pressure system applications
including: industrial gases, RIM (Reaction In-
jection Molding), hydraulic and pneumatic
service such as phosphate ester fluids and
coolant water in the extreme environment of
steel mills, transmission and brake fluids in
construction equipment, and hydraulic fluid
lines on industrial robots.

B. Hose Description for

Unibraid IR160
IR160 H o s e - T h i s hose is a smooth bore
Extruded P.T. F.E. (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
product. The innercore incorporates Titeflex " UNI-BRAID
ZS" ® zero static construction with a precisely REINFORCEMENT
controlled amount of carbon black added to
the inner 15%. This homogeneous material
provides a continuous conductive path to the
metal end fittings.
The innercore is reinforced by combined single
plaits of small diameter, tiered tension con-
trolled type 304 stainless steel wire braid. Hose
sizes -12 thru -24 have a second braid layer TEFLON

between the pressure carrying Unibraid and
the Teflon innercore.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

3-1 SELECT PROPER HOSE

a. Select the correct Titeflex hose size and
appropriate fittings required to complete
the flexible hose assembly as prescribed by
the operating conditions. Hose selection
operating requirements should be made in
accordance with Table I.
b. Subtract from the desired length of assem-
bly "L" the deduct dimensions for each end
fitting as listed in Table II, to arrive at hose Figure 3-1
cut length "H". See Figure 3-1.

3-2 PREPARE HOSE IR160-16 3/4 (.755)
a. Wrap cutting area with double layer of IR160-20 11/16 (1.023)
heavy duty masking tape (similar to Scotch IR160-24 1 3/16 (1.191)
251-3M) as shown in Figure 3-2. Plastic
tape or duct tape should not be used
because the heat generated from cutting
causes this type of tape to soften allowing
the braid to flare.
PAGE 6
b. Cut hose to predetermined length "H" using
abrasive cut-off wheel (Allison-Campbell
cut-off wheel P/N T461-T6-B6) or other
suitable device. Ends must be cut cleanly
and squarely. Cutting rate should be suffi-
ciently slow to allow the braid ends to fuse
to prevent the braid ends from flaring. Leave
masking tape on hose after cutting.

CAUTION

Extreme care must be exercised during the

cutting operation to prevent damage to the
Teflon Innercore or braid covering.
c. Burr end wires of cut hose against side of
abrasive cut-off wheel, as required, to leave
a compact square end condition. It is advis-
able to chamfer the braid at a 45° angle in
order to provide for easier insertion into the
collar. (See Figure 3-5)
d. Clean hose I.D. with an air hose to remove
all residue. See Figure 3-3. If a greater
degree of cleanliness is required, a nylon
bristle brush (T152214—hose size) may also
 SECTION 3-IR160 HIGH PRESSURE HOSE ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

3-4 SWAGING OPERATION

a. Install proper pusher (P/N 3000-26-XX) into
bottom plate mandred extractor (P/N 3000-
25) on swager. For sizes -20 and -24 use
thread support caps as shown in Optional
Swage Tools on page 9.
b. Swage mandrels are required in swaging all
straight fittings. Mandrel P/N 95048-H-size.
c. Set up swager with applicable die and man-
drel. Refer to Table V. Die P/N 3001-2-size.
d. Apply lubricant to collars and mandrel for
each successive swaging operation.
NOTE: Apply CMD high pressure oil orSTP
liberally to collar and mandrel for
stainless steel fittings. Use PHLO
liquid lotion hand soap (or other
thick Lanolin based lotion hand
soap) for carbon steel fittings.
CAUTION: Use only carbon steel collars
with carbon steel inserts and
stainless steel collars with
stainless steel inserts. Inter-
mixing materials can lead to
damaged nuts and/or collars.
e. Place hose end assembly on mandrel in the
press and insert die.
f. Swage until nut end of the insert hex is flush
with die face, as noted in Figure 3-8. This is
accomplished by using the correct swage
pusher. For sizes -20 and -24 a two pass plished using the A die and the final swage
swage is required. The first pass is accom- dimension is achieved with the B die. See
Figure 3-8.

OPTIONAL SWAGE TOOLS:

Thread support caps may be used in place
of pushers to swage IR160 series hose
assemblies. Bottom plate mandrel ex-
tractor is not used with these support
caps. Thread support caps must be used
for sizes -20, -24.
g. Mandrels may stick in the assemblies.
These are designed to be stripped from the
assembly with the swager. (Remove dies
prior to stripping.)
h. Measure swage diameter on initial
assembly to assure proper swage diameter
within limits shown in Table IV and Figure
3-8. If dimension is to maximum limit, or
BOTTOM PLATE
exceeds, obtain new swage die set and MANDREL EXTRACTOR
repeat swage on initial assembly and for all 3000-25

subsequent assemblies.
i. Clean fittings and collar with a rag after
swaging to remove lubricant.
j. Remove any braid wires protruding between
hex and collar using triangular file in parting
line. If care is taken during assembly, this
will not happen. Do not grind wires using a
wheel, as collar thinning may result.

PAGE 12
SECTION 4-GLOSSARY

A. Glossary
The following is a list of the most used terms when dealing with the Titeflex hose line.
Base Plate —Located below cylinder, it accepts base ring and swage dies.

Base Ring —Also called a die holder, this P/N 94330B2 holds the die halves in place while
swaging.
Collar —Often called a sleeve or ferrule. Used to compress the hose wall between the insert
O.D. and the collar itself, thereby creating a permanent mechanical attachment.
Convoluted —Having ridges or folds such as those found in Titeflex S95 metal hose or R272
Teflon hose.
Crossbar —Attached to side rods this rectangular shaped block accepts pushers for swaging.
Located just below cylinder it is in a horizontal position on swager.
Cylinder —The tubular canister sitting atop the swager, it contains the RAM which pushes the
crossbar in its swaging motion.
Dies (Swage) —Two pieces of tool steel which when together form a circle with a continuously
narrowing opening through which a collar is pushed and swaged.
Extruded —Smooth Bore.
Gate —Attached to base plate, it swings open and closed to allow removal of flanged
assemblies. It must be in a closed position during swaging.
Insert —Hose fitting composed of shank portion which fits in hose I.D. and outer portion
