Obsolete Legacy Hydraulic Hose Replaced with GlobalCore
Parker began phasing out the following legacy hoses starting January 1, 2019: Series AX, AM, FX, BXX, 341, 381, 451AR, 462, 492, 701, 711, 731, 781, 772TC, 772ST, 772LT, 782TC, 782ST, 791TC, 791ST, 792TC, 792ST, P35
Beginning July 1, 2019, orders for the following series will longer be fulfilled: 351TC, 351ST, 431, 451TC, 451ST, 721, 721TC, 721ST
GlobalCore replaces the discontinued hose series mentioned above while offering improved performance and international acceptance: ½ ISO 18752 minimum bend radius, 212° / 257° F temperature ratings and Standard, ToughCover (TC) and SuperTough (ST) cover technologies for abrasion resistance.
The simplified GlobalCore product offering consists of 6 series of hose and two fittings, series 43 and 77.
Parker’s GlobalCore hose offering helps hydraulic shops and suppliers minimize their hose inventory. There are a few benefits:
Cost-savings: By minimizing the number of parts in your inventory, you also minimize the number of dollars wasted on the parts you don’t use.
Simplicity: Primarily developed as a cost-saving measure for its customers, Parker’s GlobalCore solution simplifies your Parker hose inventory. The family of six hydraulic hoses covers diameters ¼” to 2” and working pressure ranges from 3,000 to 6,000 PSI, which—depending on hose diameter and working pressure—are compatible with either 43 Series or 77 Series fittings and exceed ISO 18752 performance specifications.
Safety: By reducing the number of parts in your inventory, the potential for errors when matching parts for hose assemblies goes down with it. If your engineering and production staff are not educated on why it’s absolutely critical to use the proper fitting for your hydraulic hose, then the incompatible hose/fitting pairing can leak, fail and even result fail in serious injury or even death.
Is GlobalCore the Right Solution For My Company?
The benefits we mention make the transition to GlobalCore a smart move for most. In preparation for our customers making the transition to Global Core, all of The Hope Group’s ParkerStore locations currently stock Parker 797TC hydraulic hose. The 797 series hose delivers 6,000 PSI constant working pressure. The outside diameter is nearly 30% smaller than SAE spiral and twice the impulse life.
