Industrial Rubber & Supply, LLC

When it comes to automotive assemblies, having the right fittings is as important as good quality hoses. We offer aluminum and steel welding services for fittings to ensure you get the assembly replacement you need.

When identifying a hose for use in a particular application, we will need some information such as whether it needs to be non-conductive, the thread and thread end connection type, and if there any unusual mechanical loads involved.

You can extend the life of your automotive hoses by adhering to a solid maintenance program for your entire vehicle. When it’s time to replace your hoses and fittings, we offer the highest quality custom made parts.

Hydraulic systems are not only more powerful than conventional mechanical systems, but they are also less expensive. They liquid, air, or gas that passes through the hoses increases the working power and efficiency of almost any machine, and improves productivity.

Hose performance is rated for maximum working pressures. In settings where hoses are subjected to high temperatures, variable pressures or a mix of both, the maximum ratings must be reduced to compensate for these additional stresses.

If your hydraulic hose springs a leak or has problems, then you can be temped to just apply a simple patch. But this doesn't actually fix the hole, and the hose could break at a key moment. A custom hose expert can give you a replacement hose you can count on.

Are you a local inventor who’s always in need of parts for your next invention? Whether you need one hose or 100 hoses, we have the expertise and capacity to keep your inventions in stock.

Because the inlet line of vacuum pumps is under tremendous pressure because of the vacuum that is created, hoses rated for vacuum performance have been reinforced with a steel coil in the lining.

When the hose and hose assembly are compatible with both the application environment and with the fluids being conveyed, the likelihood of leaks is minimized and service life and safety are extended and improved.

Did you know that specific types of hoses in automobiles are crafted for specific applications? For example, hoses and seals for brake fluids and systems will corrode if they are exposed to petroleum products to be safe, always double check before replacing fluids and hoses.

When determining the size of the hose, the inside diameter is the most important measurement. It must be sized to transfer the correct volume of fluid for the job it must perform. Smaller diameters usually mean greater pressures can be withstood.

Have you found that it’s more difficult to find parts to rebuild some older cars than others? If you need a hose that you just can’t find anywhere else, we’re always here to help you.

Hydraulic machinery gets very hot under the stress of normal operations and heavy loads. For that reason, take precautions to protect hydraulic hoses and couplings from heat, fire, sparks, or molten spray.

Many industrial companies who use hydraulic systems are looking to go "green" and thus use "green" or biodegradable oils. However, keep in mind that most hydraulic hoses are compatible with petroleum-based oils only, so do your research first to find a compatible hose material.

Did you know that massive machinery usually utilizes hydraulics to function? Out-of-order machines are usually not working due to issues with the hoses. Any faulty hoses should be immediately replaced.

Tip: The air hose between a compressor and its working unit should be as short and as wide as possible. This allows for the greatest amount of airflow without losing pressure over the length of the hose.

If you use bio-degradable fluids in your hydraulic systems, they can have a negative impact on hoses that are not properly rated for these liquids. Before installing or replacing hoses, make sure they are rated for the liquid they will carry.

Different types of braided hoses offer different maximum working pressures. Choose a single braid sleeve to reinforce a basic hose, opt for a double braid to increase working pressures, and select a braided braid for high pressure applications where size and weight are an issue.
