Continental ContiTech Neptune 3000 Solution Hose, 1/4 Inch x 15 m, Blue, 3000 psi, 121°C, Quick Connects

Product Overview

Continental ContiTech Neptune 3000 solution hose, 1/4 inch ID, in a 15 metre length, fitted with male and female quick connects. It is rated at 3,000 psi working pressure and 121°C (250°F), with a blue non-marking cover.

Neptune was previously sold under the Goodyear brand. Goodyear's engineered products business became part of Continental ContiTech, and the hose is now marked Continental ContiTech.

Construction

• Tube: nitrile synthetic rubber.
• Reinforcement: one braided steel wire — strong, but still flexible enough to drag and coil.
• Cover: blue oil-resistant synthetic rubber, ARPM Class B (medium oil resistance), non-marking.
• Temperature range: −29°C to 121°C (−20°F to 250°F).

Important — Check Your Machine's Rating

Neptune 3000 is rated to 3,000 psi and 121°C. Most portables and truckmounts run well inside that, but some high-pressure and high-heat truckmounts can exceed it. Check the maximum pump pressure and outlet temperature of your machine before fitting any solution hose.

Fittings

This assembly is supplied with male and female quick connects, ready to connect between the machine and the tool. Quick connect sizes and thread types are not interchangeable across every brand of machine — check the fitting on your machine and tool before ordering.

Solution Hose Is a Safety Component

This hose carries water at high pressure and high temperature past the operator’s legs and across a customer’s floor. When a solution hose fails it does not weep — it bursts, and it does so with hot water at pressure.

Inspect the full length regularly. Any place where the cover is abraded through to the reinforcement, any bulge, and any weep at a crimp means the hose is finished. Do not repair a high-pressure hose. Replace it.

What Shortens Hose Life

Dragging it around door frames and across driveways abrades the cover. Coiling it tightly while hot sets kinks into the reinforcement. Leaving it pressurised and in the sun ages it. None of those show as a fault until the day it lets go.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pressure and temperature is it rated to?

3,000 psi working pressure and 121°C (250°F).

Is this the Goodyear Neptune hose?

Yes. Neptune was a Goodyear product line and is now made under the Continental ContiTech name.

Can I repair a damaged section?

No. Replace a high-pressure hose that is abraded through to the braid, bulging or weeping at a crimp.

Will the quick connects fit my machine?

Check the fitting on your machine and tool. Tell us the model and we will confirm.

What length should I run?

The length the job needs. Every extra metre costs pressure at the tool and adds hose to coil at the end of the day.
