Gates M2T MegaFlex Hydraulic Hose

The Gates M2T MegaFlex Hydraulic Hose is a high-pressure line reinforced by a 2-wire braided steel core and a specialized XtraTuff outer cover. This robust layering is engineered to withstand up to 600,000 impulse cycles, providing a physical lifespan that lasts 25 times longer than standard hoses under heavy road use. Because the M2T design allows for a bend radius up to one-third of the SAE 100R16 specification, the Gates 85604 hose maintains its structural shape while being routed through the tightest chassis spaces without kinking. The assembly remains stable across a temperature range of -40 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit, utilizing oil-resistant synthetic rubber to protect the internal fluid path from thermal breakdown. Every inch of the hose meets MSHA 2G flame resistance standards, ensuring the external cover acts as a reliable shield against ozone, weathering, and constant physical rubbing.
