Rubber Cotton Overbraid Fuel Hose

Rubber Cotton Overbraid Hose is a flexible, oil-resistant fuel and oil hose reinforced with a traditional cotton overbraid for strength and durability. Manufactured by HosesUK, the hose features a smooth black synthetic rubber inner tube that provides reliable resistance to oils, fuels, and lubricants, while the high tensile cotton braid outer layer adds mechanical protection and abrasion resistance. Designed for low-to-medium pressure applications, the hose is built to ISO 73379 standards and operates between -20°C and +85°C (with peaks to +100°C), ensuring consistent performance in demanding environments.

Key Features:

• Material: Black smooth oil-resistant synthetic rubber inner, high tensile cotton overbraid outer.

• Reinforcement: Cotton braid (no synthetic reinforcement for maximum flexibility).

• Internal Diameter Range: 3.2 mm to 12 mm.

• Wall Thickness: 2.3 mm to 3 mm depending on size.

• Working Pressure: 16 bar across all sizes.

• Burst Pressure: 48 bar minimum (3:1 safety factor).

• Bending Radius: 47 mm (3.2 mm ID) to 108 mm (12 mm ID).

• Operating Temperature: -20°C to +85°C continuous, +100°C peak.

• Standard: ISO 73379 compliant.

• Colour: Black inner with cotton braided outer cover.

The Rubber Cotton Overbraid Hose combines flexibility, fuel and oil resistance, and abrasion protection in a lightweight design. The smooth synthetic rubber bore ensures efficient fuel or oil flow without restriction, while the cotton overbraid adds strength and resistance to wear from handling, routing, or contact with other components. With a 16 bar working pressure and 48 bar burst rating, the hose is engineered to deliver safe and dependable performance under light-to-medium pressure fuel and oil transfer duties. The traditional cotton braiding also gives the hose a distinctive appearance, making it particularly suitable for classic, vintage, and restoration projects where period-correct aesthetics are important.

Applications include fuel lines, oil transfer, lubrication systems, and low-to-medium pressure petroleum handling in automotive, marine, agricultural, and light industrial environments. Distributed under the HosesUK brand, the Rubber Cotton Overbraid Hose offers a reliable, durable, and visually distinctive solution for engineers, restorers, and technicians seeking a strong yet flexible fuel and oil hose built to ISO 73379 standards.
