The hose assembly covered by this specification is military
unique to meet the requirements specified herein and in the applicable
specification sheets. The hose qualified in accordance with MIL-DTL-27267 for
field attachable fitting assemblies should be mated with either reusable
fittings qualified in accordance with MIL-DTL-27272 or with permanent fittings
to meet the requirements specified herein and in the applicable specification
sheet. This hose assembly is a hydraulic or pneumatic conductor for a fluid at
the operating pressure, specified in table III, even under extreme temperature
conditions ranging from −65°F to 450°F (275°F for class 2).
The hose assembly is intended for use in high-temperature fuel, lubricating
oil, water-alcohol, chemical-fluid, hydraulic and pneumatic systems that allow
some gaseous effusion through the hose wall. However, hose assembly used in
hydraulic and pneumatic systems should not exceed the temperature limit of
400°F. Furthermore, it is recommended that this hose assembly should not
be used in pneumatic storage system applications and in any applications that
exceed the operating temperature range and pressure specified herein. Hose
assembly sizes 20Z and 24Z should not be used in systems where the peak
pressures are greater than 1000 psi. Hose assembly size −3/−4 is
not intended for use in aircraft hydraulic systems.
