Mustang® Crush Resistant
(Specification 4695M)
Acid-Chemical Hose
RECOMMENDED FOR: Tank truck, barge, ship, or storage tank transfer of a variety of chemical products. Mustang Crush
Resistant contains a monofilament helix for suction and crush resistant capability, as well as for routing
hoses through tight bends. Its Modified Cross-linked Polyethylene tube stock is “best in class” for
maintaining a tight seal with stainless steel fittings, and is designed for cleaning with “open end” 50 PSI
steam or in a bath containing 10% (NaOH) @ 212°F (100°C). Cleaning in place (CIP) methods may be
used. Applications include over 950 basic chemicals that are building blocks for numerous chemicals
used in a variety of industries. Reference Gates Chemical Resistance Table for proper hose selection.
CAUTION: For applications requiring greater than 90% sulfuric acid contact Denver Product Application (303)
744-5070.
Mustang Crush Resistant is designed to withstand fluid temperatures to 250°F (+121°C), however the
rating is dependent on the specific chemical conveyed. Contact Denver Product Application (303) 744-
5070 for any chemical above 125°F (+52°C). NOT RECOMMENDED FOR “CLOSED STEAM”
CLEANING.
TEMPERATURE: -40°F to +250°F (-40°C to +121°C) normal service.
CONSTRUCTION: Tube: Type K (Gatron™ Modified Cross-linked Polyethylene.) Tan. High chemical resistance.
Reinforcement: Synthetic, high tensile textile with monofilament helix and static wire providing crush
and kink resistance.
Cover: Type P (EPDM). Black corrugated with orange spiral stripe. Green, blue, red, and
yellow covers available on special order.
Design Factor: 4:1
COUPLINGS: Gates has tested hose assemblies at the maximum rated service temperature to assure your safety. Use 7,
8, or 49 for fluid temperatures to 125°F (+52°C). Use permanent fittings only 71 or 73 for fluid
temperatures above 125°F (+52°C) and up to 250°F (+121°C) or 80 Gates GSP (2" only). Reference the
Hose Coupling Section.
PACKAGING: All lengths coiled and wrapped in polyethylene.
BRANDING: Continuous transfer label. Example: “GATES® Mustang® Crush Resistant Acid-Chemical Suction/
Discharge 200 PSI (1.38MPa) WP Made In U.S.A. For your safety: Use Permanent Couplings above
125°F.”
