Spiral Wire Hydraulic Hoses

Gates® MXG™ 5K-XTP with XtraTuff™ Plus Cover

Built with Gates' patented Xpiral™ woven spiral technology, MegaSYS™ MXG™ 5K hydraulic hose is lightweight, extremely flexible and rated to ONE MILLION impulse cycles. MXG™ 5K exceeds the performance of wire spiral constructions, while standing out for the lower weight and flexibility made possible by Gates material science technology.

  • Recommended applications: Extremely high-pressure, high-impulse abrasive applications. Compatible with standard petroleum-based fluids as well as biodegradable hydraulic fluids such as polyester, polyglycol and vegetable oil.
  • Exceeds ISO 18752 350DC, SAE 100R13, EN856 R13 and ISO 3862 R13 performance criteria; sizes -10 and -12.
  • MXG™ 5K is rated to 1,000,000 impulse cycles with GlobalSpiral™ (5000 psi working pressure, 133% test pressure, 250°F/121°C temperature) and to 600,000 impulse cycles with MegaCrimp™, exceeding industry standards for longevity in the factory or in the field.
  • The Gates® XtraTuff™ Plus cover comes standard on MXG and provides abrasion and ozone resistance.
  • Can be used with GlobalSpiral™ Couplings [G20 Series] and MegaCrimp™ Couplings [G25 Series] (-6 and -8 only).
  • MXG™ 5K has a minimum bend radius 50-60% tighter than the industry standard, for longevity in the factory or in the field.
  • Compact construction with excellent flexibility and lower bend force for faster, more ergonomic installation (25% better bend force, 5% smaller OD and 20% lighter).
  • The durable XtraTuff™ Plus cover adds toughness with 25 times the abrasion resistance and 800+ hours of ozone resistance.
  • Meets MSHA 2G Flame Retardant Acceptance Designation.

HOSE SPECIFICATIONS
RECOMMENDED FOR High-pressure hydraulic applications. Easy to route and install in tight spaces. An alternative to spiral hoses in high-pressure lines where flexibility is required.
TUBE NBR (nitrile)-based.
REINFORCEMENT Woven spiral reinforcement with four layers of high-tensile steel wire.
COVER Black, XtraTuff Plus synthetic rubber. MSHA approved.
TEMPERATURE RANGE -40°C to +121°C. For fluid emulsions.
STANDARDS Exceeds ISO 18752 350DC (GS couplings). Exceeds ISO 18752 350CC (G couplings). Exceeds ISO 3862 R13 performance criteria. Exceeds EN 856 4SP (-10 and -12) performance requirements.
COUPLINGS GlobalSpiral (all sizes). MegaCrimp (sizes -6 to -8).
TYPE APPROVALS DNV, LR, BV and ABS. Improved ozone and abrasion resistance. Extremely flexible and lightweight.
CHARACTERISTICS Proprietary application of material science and processing technology. Superior impulse performance: MXG5K-XTP with GlobalSpiral (GS) couplings is rated to a 1,000,000-cycle impulse life, and MegaCrimp (G) couplings are rated to a 600,000-cycle impulse life for MXG5K-XTP sizes -06 and -08. Impulse tested to the same parameters as the Gates EFG5K spiral hose (pressure, temperature and bend radius).
