Protective Hose Beads, Plastic. For 1,1/2" to 4" ID Hose.
The Fluid Transfer Hose Bead is designed to reduce fuelling hose wear caused by abrasion when the hose is dragged across the ground.
Hose beads attached to the surface of the fuelling hose raise the hose from the ground and act as a tougher wear resistant carrier.
Constructed of wear resistant nylon material and made in two halves the parts can be easily attached to the fuel hose.
The use of Hose Beads fitted to fuelling hoses benefits the operator in a number of ways, the Bead provides lower resistance when hauling the hose out or back and prolongs the life of the fuelling hose.
Fluid Transfer standard Hose Beads are sized to suit a Ø50mm (2") and Ø63mm (21/2") bore Type C Aviation Hose, however Ø75mm (3") and Ø100mm (4") Hose Beads are also available on request.

Technical Data
- The Fluid Transfer Hose Bead is available in two standard sizes and two others on request. All sizes consist of a nylon spherical body in two halves with internal body diameters to suit the outside diameter of the carrying hose.
- The two halves are clamped together with brass screws and nuts to avoid sparking and build up of static charge.
- An internal rib or retaining ring grips the hose, preventing the bead from slipping, as the two halves are clamped together.
- The recommended position of the first Bead should be approximately 1.5m from the Hose End Nozzle and spacing thereafter at 1.2m along the Hose.
Dimensions
- The Fluid Transfer Hose Bead is available in four sizes. Standard sizes are Ø38mm (11/2") Ø50mm (2") and Ø63mm (21/2") details of the larger Ø75mm (3") and Ø100mm (4") sizes are available on request
Maintenance
- Hose beads require no maintenance only replacement when locally worn "flat" exceeds 40mm length.
Product selection is based on the ID (Internal Diamter) of the Hose, the clamps will cover most common ID / Wall Thicknesses in other hoses, but of course not all.
