Icore International has joined forces with Stratoflex, a US-based hose division of Parker Hannifin. The new arrangement means that hose users now have a convenient single source of supply for a comprehensive range of hoses, fittings and custom-engineered hose solutions. In addition, selected Stratoflex products will now be fabricated in the UK, which will reduce lead times and enhance availability, as well as speeding the development of customised hose assemblies. Products available from Icore under the new agreement include the PTFE, rubber and metal hoses and range of quick disconnect couplings from the Stratoflex range. A comprehensive family of ancillary items, including hose fittings, rigid tube assemblies, swivel joints, fuel breakaway valves, hydraulic fuses and flow regulators completes the range.
