Carter Ground Fueling now has available through its normal distribution channels aircraft refueling Jac Riser hose in accordance with API/IP 1529, 6th Edition.
Sizes available range from 2” to 4” diameter. Carter Aircraft Refueling Jac Riser Hose meets all requirements of API 1529, 6th Edition, Grade 2, Type E and is available in lengths of up to 100’. The hose is available with or without attached couplings of various types and sizes. The hose will be made and delivered from Durodyne, an operating unit of Carter Ground Fueling Division.
Carter Aircraft Refueling Jac Riser Hose is very similar to our standard Type C hose except that it includes a metal helix. This hose has two common uses. On refueling vehicles that include a lift deck this hose will be used to connect the vehicle to the lift deck to supply fuel for the lift deck hoses. The metal helix prevents kinking of the hose that would occur with other types of hoses in this application. It can also be used for high vacuum applications such as off loading racks and dedicated defuel equipment. The metal helix will prevent the hose from collapsing in these high vacuum applications.
