Well, it doesn’t have to be that way! If you were using the only true low temp aviation fuel hose on the market, you would have completed that refueling and been back into the warmth of the heated cab in record time! ContiTech Low Temp Aviation Hose is really the one and only low temp fueling hose. For over 30 years, this is the only hose that your northern neighbors have been using coast to coast! Because, that’s all that will work in winter and perform in the hot summers. No other manufactures hose has been able to perform in the Canadian climate all the way up to the North Pole and is the only hose authorized by the oil companies, into plane operators and military.

Now also available for PEAR/ContiTech hoses are 3 different clamp style fittings. These are available in 3 designs of which 2 are classified as re-usable and one classified as permanent. These clamp style fittings are manufactured under EN 14420-3 for the clamps and EN 14420-5 for the fitting. Also these must be certified to each manufactures hose per EI 1529 First Article Testing Section 7 as above. At PEAR we prefer to use this superior fitting on our JAC Riser hoses and is also available on our regular refueling hoses. These fittings provide an excellent no slip attachment to the hose.

As hose size increases, so does the weight and energy required to move and hook up that hose! It will take its toll on the human body and these factors must be taken into account in the workplace to maximize productivity and safety by minimizing operator fatigue and discomfort. Heavier hose also puts more strain on equipment connected to that hose.
