Hose specification
SAE 100R17 — Compact 3,000 PSI
SAE 100R17 rates a constant 3,000 psi in every size from -4 to -16 with a smaller outside diameter and roughly half the bend radius of R1/R2 — one hose that simplifies stocking and routes cleanly in tight machinery.
Working pressure
Ratings by size.
| Size | Working pressure |
|---|---|
| -4 (1/4") | 3,000 psi |
| -6 (3/8") | 3,000 psi |
| -8 (1/2") | 3,000 psi |
| -12 (3/4") | 3,000 psi |
| -16 (1") | 3,000 psi |
Working pressures per the published standard with 4:1 minimum burst safety factor. The assembled hose + fitting combination governs the final assembly rating.

SAE 100R17 — Compact 3,000 PSI — FAQs
Why choose R17 over R2?
Constant rating across sizes (simpler stocking), tighter bend radius, and lighter weight. If the circuit stays at or under 3,000 psi, R17 usually routes better.
Does R17 use special fittings?
It crimps with standard braid-hose ends set to R17 crimp specs — we handle it at the counter like any braid hose.
