Elaflex 'Yellow-Band' Statically Bonded (ATEX), Cloth Reinforced Aviation Fuel Hose
'Yellow Band' Aircraft Refuelling Hoses, suitable for all aviaition gasolines and jet fuels (Jet A-1), de-icing fluids, and motor oils. This hose is statically bonded, for use in an ATEX Zone
Applicable Standards to which all 4 hoses meet:
- EN ISO 1825 (EN 1361)
- EN 12115 NBR 1 (Rubber and thermoplastics hoses and hose assemblies for liquid or gaseous chemicals)
- EN 1761 (Rubber hoses and hose assemblies for fuel truck delivery)
- American Standard EI 1529 (Equivalent to EN ISO 1825)
- NFPA 407
- AS 2683
- German Military Standard VG 95 955
There are 4 variants of the Yellow-Band hose, for different applications around the airfield;
| Option | Characteristics | Uses |
| HD-C | Flexible | Hydrant inlet (use spiral form neon markings) and into-plane use. |
| VHD-C | Fortified | Reel-into-plane and hydrant inlet (use spiral form neon markings), as well as riser systems. |
| PHD-F | Thick Wall | Alternative fuelling and de-fuelling use. |
| TW-E | Hard Wall | Tank truck, and the connection between truck and trailer, as well as riser systems (Not for hydrant inlet or into-plane fuelling). |
| LT | Low Temperature Type | For use in particularly cold areas, all aircraft refuelling hoses can be produced in a special soft and cold flexible 'LT' version ( LOW TEMPERATURE ). This hose may be used without risk of cracking at temperatures down to – 50° Celsius. Because of the softer tube the max. vacuum resistance of type HD-LT and VHD-LT is slightly lower, and the extraction and swelling of the tube slightly increases. |
Hose can be supplied in cut lengths or with male threaded ends, three types of end connection are available:
