THERMOID
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about THERMOID from 3G Electric.
What SAE standards apply to Thermoid fuel hose?
Thermoid fuel hose is available in constructions that meet SAE J30R6 and SAE J30R7 standards. SAE J30R6 covers low-pressure fuel lines for gasoline and diesel, while SAE J30R7 is for fuel transfer applications. These standards specify requirements for burst pressure, tensile strength, and resistance to fuels including ethanol blends. The hose typically has a nitrile tube and a temperature rating up to 257°F. When selecting Thermoid fuel hose, verify the SAE standard against your application requirements. 3G Electric supplies Thermoid fuel hose in various inside diameters and lengths, and can provide part numbers that meet specific standards.
What is the temperature range for Thermoid air-brake hose?
Thermoid EPDM bulk air-brake hose has a temperature range of -40°F to 200°F. This range covers typical operating conditions for heavy-duty truck and trailer air-brake systems, as well as industrial pneumatic applications. The EPDM construction provides resistance to heat, ozone, and weathering. The hose is designed for compressed air transmission and is available in inside diameters such as 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch, with bulk lengths up to 500 feet. 3G Electric stocks Thermoid air-brake hose in common sizes and can quote specific part numbers based on your requirements.
What inside diameters are available for Thermoid fuel hose?
Thermoid fuel hose is available in inside diameters including 3/16 inch, 1/4 inch, 5/16 inch, 3/8 inch, and 7/16 inch. These sizes cover common low-pressure fuel line applications. The hose is typically supplied in 25-foot lengths, though other lengths may be available. The nitrile tube resists gasoline, diesel, and ethanol-blended fuels, and the hose meets SAE J30R6 or SAE J30R7 standards depending on the construction. 3G Electric can help identify the correct inside diameter for your fuel transfer or fuel line application and provide a quote for the specific part number.
What is the difference between SAE J30R6 and SAE J30R7 for Thermoid fuel hose?
SAE J30R6 and SAE J30R7 are both standards for low-pressure fuel hose, but they differ in scope and performance requirements. SAE J30R6 covers fuel hose for gasoline and diesel fuel systems, while SAE J30R7 is specifically for fuel transfer applications and may have different test criteria for permeation and adhesion. Thermoid offers hose meeting both standards. When selecting, consider the fuel type, operating temperature, and pressure. Both standards require a nitrile tube for fuel resistance. 3G Electric can provide product data sheets to help you determine which standard applies to your application.
Can Thermoid air-brake hose be used for general industrial pneumatic applications?
Yes, Thermoid EPDM bulk air-brake hose is suitable for general industrial pneumatic applications that require flexible hose for compressed air. It is designed primarily for heavy-duty truck and trailer air-brake systems, but its construction and temperature range (-40°F to 200°F) make it appropriate for many industrial pneumatic lines. The EPDM material resists heat, ozone, and weathering. It is available in bulk lengths and various inside diameters. 3G Electric supplies this hose for both mobile and stationary pneumatic systems. Verify pressure ratings and compatibility with your specific pneumatic equipment.
What lengths are available for Thermoid fuel hose and air-brake hose?
Thermoid fuel hose is commonly supplied in 25-foot lengths, as seen in part numbers such as 667503225, 667505225, and 667506225. Air-brake hose is available in bulk lengths including 250 feet and 500 feet, depending on the inside diameter. For example, part number 482108498 is a 1/2-inch inside diameter hose in 250-foot length, while 482106499 is a 3/8-inch inside diameter hose in 500-foot length. 3G Electric can provide these lengths and may be able to source other lengths or cut-to-order sizes. Contact 3G Electric for availability and quotes on specific part numbers.
