Strato Inc.: Flanged 1-Inch Branch Pipe Hose Assemblies

Strato branch pipe hose assemblies feature AAR M-618 size 20 air-brake hose (1-1/8-inch I.D.) and AAR M-927 flanged air brake fittings. The flanged fittings are available in straight, 45-degree and 90-degree configurations, and can be assembled in any arrangement and length to suit customer requirements. With branch pipe hose assemblies, a broken branch pipe can be replaced in less time and expense than if a standard pipe were used, the company says. The assemblies are available for immediate shipment.
