I am wondering if someone who has
ordered or understands HP hoses for the water maker would be kind enough to
take a quick peek at this (before I push the buy button) and make sure this is
correct:
HT-06-ASB | 3/8" HYDRAULAX
TOUGH™ Hydraulic Hose Assembly
Code: HT-06-ASB
Fitting #1: SS-FJX-06-06 |
(Stainless)3/8" JIC 37° Flare Female Swivel (SS-FJX-06-06)
Fitting #2: SS-FJX-06-06 |
(Stainless)3/8" JIC 37° Flare Female Swivel (SS-FJX-06-06)
Overall Length: 3 feet 0
inches
These are about US$85 per 3’ hose assembled.

With best regards,

Subject: Replacement HP hoses for Dessalator
A call out to USA owners,
I have a box of supplies being assembled in the USA for
shipment to Tahiti. I would like to include replacement HP hoses for the Amel
installed D60 Dessalator. I am unsure of the exact specs for the fittings
although I have searched the forum and think it is stainless steel 3/8 inch JIC
fittings on all ends. The stuff I am unsure about is if the hose has to be
“food grade” and the pressure rating.
Does anyone have a company from whom I can order on-line or
better still provide me with a part number and e-tailer?
I have an email out to balcen.com (the USA Dessalator
dealer) – I expect they supply it but am assuming it will be expensive
and other options might prove more thifty.
With best regards,
Mark

I do not know about the length. A SM with a D160 with membranes in the ceiling needs about 6' for each. Remember one hose is connected at the back of the control panel.
The rest looks good to me, just questioning length.

Hi Mark, That sounds right, but am not certain of the thread size, I would encourage you to insist on 316 stainless. Kent SM243 Kristy

Thanks Bill and Kent!
Bill, I just
put in 3’ so I could get a rough cost. I haven’t actually measured it yet. You’re
very observant.

On Kristy, 3ft would be enough, 4 would be better.

Should be OK if 3/8” is indeed the fitting size you need. A 3/8” fitting is larger than 3/8”. You can google NPT fitting dimensions. On previous boat, only one fitting swiveled. Both swiveling is OK, a bit easier to assemble. ~~~⛵️~~~Matt
