Aircraft Hose Assembly Length
Aircraft hose assembly length is measured from end of nipple to end of nipple, or flare to
flare (more accurately at the outside edge of the flare). This is the same as connection length (the distance between connections).
Length is stated in inches and 1/8 inch. Example 0244 is 24 inches and 4/8 of an inch.
Note: the shorter the nose the more accurate the hose measurement will have to be.
Preventing Confusion when ordering Hoses
When ordering hoses we need to now that the length measurement
is based on a "flare-to-flare" measurement and not some other
measurement. Orders come in for hoses where the measurement is based on the
absolute length (end of nut to end of nut) of the hose. We can convert this
measurement to a "flare-to-flare" if we are clear on the datum point!
The terminology we prefer is either "flare-to-flare" or "end of
nut to end of nut".
