Parker 601-6 Hydraulic Hose 3/8 in Id 1125 Psi Sae 100R3

Product Description

The PARKER 601-6 is a flexible hydraulic hose built for medium-pressure fluid transfer in mobile and industrial hydraulic systems. Constructed with a synthetic rubber inner tube and outer cover, this hose carries a working pressure of 1,125 psi and handles temperatures from -40 degrees F to 257 degrees F. The 3/8 inch inside diameter suits standard -6 hose size fittings. Rated to SAE 100R3, the 601-6 is sold in 1-foot increments from a 250-foot coil with a 25-foot minimum cut length, making it a practical choice for custom-length assemblies in the field or shop.

This hose is suited for hydraulic return lines, low-to-medium pressure supply circuits, and general fluid conveyance in agricultural, construction, and industrial equipment. The 4-inch minimum bend radius allows routing in tight spaces without kinking. Technicians and hose fabricators working on mobile machinery, hydraulic power units, or industrial plumbing will find the 601-6 straightforward to cut, swage, and assemble using standard hydraulic hose fittings and tooling.

Installation Notes

Hydraulic hose assembly and installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or mechanic. Always depressurize and bleed down the hydraulic system before cutting, removing, or replacing any hose. Use proper swaging or crimping equipment rated for the hose series — field-applied reusable fittings must be seated fully per the fitting manufacturer's torque and engagement specifications. Inspect the cut end for fraying or delamination before assembly, and verify the completed assembly holds pressure before returning the system to service.
