As aerospace hydraulic and engine system designs become more compact and complicated, unique and versatile fluid-conveyance solutions are necessary. Parker Stratoflex complex metal tube and flexible hose assemblies provide hybrid component combinations customized to fit any build envelope or design. Available in a variety of material options and pressure/temperature combinations, Stratoflex’s metal tube and flexible hose assemblies offer design flexibility with reduced weight and metal fatigue compared to standard all-metal tubing.

Popular with engine manufacturers and aircraft service technicians, Stratoflex metal tube and flexible hose assemblies are designed for ease of maintenance and serviceability to keep aircraft in the air and out of the hangar. With decades of engineering design and testing experience at our fingertips, and one of the largest on-site engineering teams in the industry, Parker Stratoflex can give your fluid conveyance system a custom competitive edge. From custom components to fully integrated systems, our engineering resources are available to design and create the perfect solution for your aerospace needs.

Parker Stratoflex has one of only a few FAA qualified fire test labs in the United States, giving our engineers unparalleled access and flexibility to design and fully fire test our products to the most stringent customer and regulatory requirements. Stratoflex metal tube and flexible hose assemblies are available with both slip-over and integral firesleeves. The integral firesleeve is designed with smaller envelope dimensions than conventional slip-over sleeves for greater versatility in tight spaces, and offers superior vibration dampening compared to non-integral products.  Wicking and contamination are prevented as the hose is completely contained within the firesleeve.
