At Hymatik you get fast delivery, expert advice and a large stock of hoses, fittings and accessories.

Why choose 462 EVO?

462 EVO is developed for modern, compact hydraulic systems where space, weight and service life are critical. The upgrade applies to sizes 1/4” to 1” in the 462 series and is available with the covers: STD, TC and ST.

Benefits of 462 EVO

Tight bend radius for easier routing in confined installations.
Improved impulse performance of approx. 67% for longer service life and greater operational reliability.
Three cover variants (STD/TC/ST) for everything from standard to highly demanding environments.
Can reduce the need to stock many different hose variants.
Exceeds relevant industry standards (EN 857 and ISO 11237).

Typical applications

Together with Parker's Series 46 hose fittings you get a robust and reliable solution for a wide range of applications. The new ToughShield Plus surface treatment (tested to 3000 hours red rust) provides excellent corrosion protection on fittings and couplings.

How to switch from 462 to 462 EVO

No change to your existing part numbers and assembly specifications.
462 EVO gradually replaces the previous 462 as stock runs out.
Polymer Hose Division Europe will produce 462 with the EVO upgrade going forward.

The result: You get the benefits of EVO right away – with no extra work.

Help choosing the right cover (STD, TC, ST)

STD: Standard use, a good balance between flexibility and economy.
TC: Reinforced cover for heavy wear and frequent contact/abrasion.
ST: Extra robust cover for very demanding or abrasive environments.

Tip: Choose the cover based on the environment and mechanical stress – not just on pressure.
