The SAE 100 R17 Compact Wire Braided Hydraulic Hose is a precision-engineered solution designed specifically for high-pressure hydraulic systems where space is at a premium. Engineered with a high-tensile steel wire braided reinforcement, this compact hose provides an exceptional balance of strength and flexibility, making it the ideal replacement for standard R1 hoses in demanding industrial environments.
Designed to meet rigorous SAE J517 and DIN EN standards, the R17 series is optimized for tight routing and smaller bend radii. Whether deployed in mining machinery, logging equipment, or agricultural tractors, these hoses ensure seamless fluid transmission and long-term durability, even under extreme mechanical stress and hazardous conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
R17 is a lighter, more flexible alternative to R16. While maintaining similar pressure ratings, R17 offers a smaller bending radius and can utilize a single-layer steel wire braid for certain sizes, making it superior for space-constrained applications.
Yes, our R17 hoses are MSHA approved and feature FRAS (Flame Resistant Anti-Static) approved covers, specifically designed to meet safety requirements for hazardous mining environments.
They are compatible with mineral-based hydraulic oils, petroleum oils, water-glycol emulsions, and various biodegradable hydraulic fluids without risk of swelling or degradation.
The R17 hose follows a 4:1 safety factor, meaning the burst pressure is four times higher than the maximum continuous working pressure, ensuring extreme reliability under pressure spikes.
Absolutely. We provide a wide range of integration options, including JIC 37°, BSPP, and NPT fittings, as well as customized lengths and layline branding to meet your OEM needs.
The hoses are designed to operate reliably in extreme temperatures, ranging from -40°C (-40°F) for freezing environments up to +100°C (212°F) for high-heat industrial applications.
