A high-quality stainless steel braided hose at a price competitive with the imports. Earl's AUTO-FLEX stainless steel braid-protected synthetic rubber hose is manufactured to our specifications in the U.S.A. Earl's AUTO-FLEX hose features a recommended temperature range and maximum operating pressure equal to our racing premium quality Perform-O-Flex hose...at a much better price. A partial coverage textile inner braid is embedded in the liner during manufacture. The hose is finished with a full-coverage stainless steel braid which is bonded to the reinforced liner. The liner is known as H.T.E (not to be confused with PTFE) and it is the highest-quality synthetic neoprene liner on the market. The continuous use temperature rating is - 40 to + 350 degrees F. Auto-Flex hose is intended for use with Swivel-Seal, Auto-Fit, and Auto-Crimp hose ends only. No other Earl's hose ends are intended for use with Auto-Flex hose. The use of other manufacturers' hose ends is also not recommended with this hose as it does not work with lower-quality import fittings. PSI rating is determined by many factors including hose end in use and assembly method.
