“Wrap-On” Hydraulic Hose Markers
Here’s a handy, low-cost way to make sure there are no mistakes when hooking up multiple hydraulic hose connections.
Molded from high density polyethylene, Outback Wrap hydraulic hose markers fit hoses from 1/4 to 1 1/2 in. in dia. and can be used on any hydraulic hose or pipe. The markers come in different colors and are coil-shaped to wrap around the hose and grip the surface. You just open out the first coil and loop it over the hose, then “roll” the remaining coils onto the hose.
The markers use the official ISO color system for agricultural hydraulics and are numbered 1 to 6 to indicate which port to plug into. “Between the colors, numbers and letters, the hose markers are universal to all tractor makes and models,” says the company. The number 1 stands for green; 2 for blue; 3 for brown; 4 for black; 5 for purple, and 6 for grey. In addition, the letters A & B are lasered into each wrap to indicate left or right, and there’s an “above” and “below” indicator when hooking up. A & B wraps are cut to different lengths, providing an additional visual aid when looking at hoses.
According to the company, the wraps always remain in place, yet are easy to take on or off. Unlike zip ties, they won’t break or fall off and they’re smooth, to keep you from cutting your hands and fingers. And unlike zip ties, they’re clearly labeled using the official ISO color system for agricultural hydraulics.
Four pairs of Outback Wrap hydraulic hose markers sell for $19.99 plus S&H; 2 pairs for $9.99 plus S&H.
