Product catalog summary
Overview
The Fluid Transfer Hose Bead is designed to protect fuelling hoses from wear due to abrasion. It is constructed from a durable nylon material and is available in three standard sizes with additional sizes available upon request.
Specifications
The hose bead consists of a nylon spherical body in two halves, clamped together with brass screws and nuts to prevent static charge. It features an internal rib to grip the hose securely. Standard sizes include Ø38mm (1½"), Ø50mm (2"), and Ø63mm (2½"), with larger sizes Ø75mm (3") and Ø100mm (4") available on request.
Installation and Maintenance
The recommended installation position for the first bead is approximately 1.5m from the hose end nozzle, with subsequent beads spaced 1.2m apart. The beads require no maintenance except for replacement when wear exceeds a 40mm flat length.
Features and Benefits
The hose beads are easy to assemble and replace, featuring a wear-resistant nylon body and brass fixings. They are available in bright colors for visibility and help reduce resistance when moving the hose, thereby extending its lifespan.
Applications
These beads are particularly suited for Type C aviation hoses, providing a hard-wearing solution to protect hoses from ground abrasion.

Hose Beads Part No DB4042 /DBA11502 Technical Data The Fluid Transfer Hose Bead is available in three standard sizes and two others on request. All sizes consist of a nylon spherical body in two halves with internal body diameters to suit the outside diameter of the carrying hose. The two halves are clamped together with brass screws and nuts to avoid sparking and build up of static charge. An internal rib or retaining ring grips the hose, preventing the bead from slipping, as the two halves are clamped together. The recommended position of the first Bead should be approximately 1.5m from the Hose End Nozzle and spacing thereafter at 1.2m along the Hose. B Secured with M5 Brass Set Screw - 2off To Suit Hose Diameter Dimensions The Fluid Transfer Hose Bead is available in five sizes. Standard sizes are Ø 38mm (11/2") Ø 50mm (2") and Ø 63mm (21/2") details of the larger Ø 75mm (3") and Ø 100mm (4") sizes are available on request Colour Hose Diameter Inch (mm) Black Only Maintenance Hose beads require no maintenance only replacement when locally worn "flat" exceeds 40mm length.
