Rubber Stainless Steel Overbraid Hose is a premium, high-strength hose designed for demanding fluid and air transfer applications in automotive, industrial, and hydraulic systems. Constructed with a smooth black synthetic rubber inner tube, reinforced with high-tensile fibre braid, and externally protected by a stainless steel overbraid, the hose delivers exceptional pressure resistance, durability, and kink prevention. Its robust design offers outstanding abrasion protection and enhanced resistance to ozone, oil, and weathering, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. Built to SAEJ1402 and BSAU110 standards, the hose ensures long-lasting reliability for both static and dynamic applications. With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +93°C (short-term peaks to +100°C), Rubber Stainless Steel Overbraid Hose provides consistent performance across a wide variety of demanding tasks.

Key Features:

Inner Layer: Black smooth synthetic rubber for flexibility and fluid compatibility.
Reinforcement: High-tensile braided fibre for pressure stability and strength.
Outer Layer: Stainless steel overbraid for superior abrasion resistance and kink protection.
Additional Protection: Ozone and weather-resistant synthetic rubber layer beneath the braid.
Operating Temperature: -40°C to +93°C (peak +100°C).
Working Pressure: 15 bar across all sizes.
Burst Pressure: 45 bar (3:1 safety factor).
Internal Diameter Range: 6 mm to 13 mm.
Wall Thickness: 3.3 mm to 4.0 mm depending on size.
Bending Radius: 40 mm to 120 mm depending on diameter.
Standard: SAEJ1402 / BSAU110 compliant.

The stainless steel overbraid provides a tough, protective shield against abrasion, sharp edges, and mechanical stress, while also preventing hose expansion under pressure. The smooth bore rubber core ensures efficient flow of fluids and gases, while the fibre reinforcement delivers reliable pressure handling and flexibility. The additional synthetic rubber layer offers resistance to ozone and weathering, further extending the service life of the hose even in outdoor or heavy-duty environments. Its combination of strength, flexibility, and resilience makes it ideal for high-performance and safety-critical applications.

Applications include automotive fuel and oil lines, hydraulic return systems, pneumatic equipment, industrial machinery, and general-purpose high-pressure fluid handling. Rubber Stainless Steel Overbraid Hose is widely adopted in automotive, marine, and industrial sectors where reliability, abrasion resistance, and secure fluid transfer are essential.

How to measure ID

Measure the pipe, not the old hose

Heat and age make a used hose swell and go out of round. Take your reading across the metal outlet the hose slides onto — that measurement is your ID.

Use vernier calipers

Set the outer jaws across the widest point of the pipe. A tape measure round a curve reads low by a millimetre or two — enough to buy the wrong size.

Take three readings, keep the largest

Rotate 60° between each. If they disagree the pipe is oval; size to the biggest figure so the hose still seals.

Round to the nearest listed bore

Never go up: a bore wider than the fitting will not grip, whatever the hose is made of. If you land between listed sizes take the smaller bore, and secure it with a clip.

Order by ID, always. Every hose on this site is listed by internal diameter. OD is given for clearance only — it changes with wall thickness and ply count, so it is never the ordering size. On reducers, quote both ends, largest first.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Answers to the questions we’re asked most about sizing, fitment and performance.

Still can't find your answer?

What is it used for?

Transferring petrol, diesel, lubricating oils and other hydrocarbons in automotive, marine, agricultural and industrial systems.

What size and length do I order?

Order by internal diameter, matched to the outside diameter of the pipe stub or spigot it slides over. Measure the pipe with vernier callipers rather than the old hose, which stretches in service and reads large. Available in internal diameters from 6mm to 13mm, lengths from 1 Metre to 30 Metres (Full Coil). Full coils work out considerably better value per metre than cut lengths.

What standard is it built to?

It is manufactured to SAE J30 R6. Buying to a recognised standard matters here - it means the construction, pressure rating and performance have been benchmarked rather than simply described.

Is it compatible with E5 and E10 petrol?

Yes - the nitrile-based compound is formulated for modern ethanol-blended fuels as well as diesel and oils. Ethanol attacks unsuitable rubber from the inside, so an older line can look perfectly sound externally while breaking down internally and shedding debris into the fuel system.

How do I know when it needs replacing?

Squeeze it. Hard and brittle, or spongy and swollen, both mean it is done. Look for surface cracking when you flex it and crusty residue or staining round the clips, which indicates seepage. Replace on condition rather than waiting for a failure.

How should it be secured?

Proper hose clips, one at each end, positioned squarely over the barb or spigot. Support long runs with rubber-lined P-clips so the hose cannot chafe against a bracket, panel or wiring loom, and keep it clear of exhaust components.
