The construction of the AE313 hose itself has been simplified. A unique process developed by Eaton permits elimination of the calendar layers between wire wraps. The result is a more efficient use of the wire reinforcment layers and an almost 50% reduction in the minimum bend radius. In addition, AE313 hose assemblies use two piece fittngs instead of the three-piece fittings used on previous PTFE 4-spiral wire hose assemblies.
