Parker’s 5CNG Compressed Natural Gas Hose will be on display at ACTEXPO 2015 in Dallas, Texas, May 5-8, in Parker booth number 537.


5CNG hose assemblies are produced by Parker's Parflex Division for use in gas dispensing systems, private and commercial refueling stations, on-vehicle fuel lines and residential CNG refueling. These assemblies are available only as Parker factory assemblies through Parker’s network of ParkerStores.The 5CNG hose assemblies are offered in a CSA certified single-line assembly and as a packaged twin-line solution with hoses bonded into a compact, safe, easy-to-install assembly. These hose assemblies can be up to 30% lighter than rigid tubing and can reduce part number complexity and installation time by providing assemblies that eliminate tangled hoses.
