About Jason Industrial
Industrial Hose & Fluid Transfer SystemsMegadyne
Jason Industrial, Megadyne's hose division, provides durable, application-specific hose solutions across the Americas, serving manufacturers, distributors, and end users requiring reliable fluid-transfer systems. With decades of engineering expertise in hose design and material selection, Jason offers a comprehensive catalog of petroleum, chemical, water, and specialized hose products engineered for diverse industries spanning mining, construction, agriculture, food processing, and general manufacturing.
The Jason Industrial product portfolio includes petroleum and oilfield hoses (suction/discharge, aromatics-resistant designs), chemical-transfer hose for plant and tank-truck applications, water-transfer hose for suction, discharge, and irrigation, hydraulic hose, pneumatic lines, food-grade tubing, and custom hose assemblies with factory-installed couplings. All products are rated per SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) and ISO standards for pressure, temperature, and fluid compatibility.
Jason DREAMFLEX™ series delivers superior flexibility and bend radius for confined-space routing in mobile equipment; MegaFlex products balance cost-effectiveness with robust performance in standard industrial applications. All hoses are manufactured with weather-resistant covers, UV-stabilized outer layers, and inner liners matched to specific fluid chemistry—petroleum hoses resist aromatic fuels (up to 50% benzene), chemical hose tolerates wide pH ranges and solvents.
The company maintains distribution centers across North America, enabling fast order fulfillment and access to technical support. Jason offers hose specification guidance, pressure-rating verification, and custom assembly services including hose cutting, fitting installation, and pressure testing per customer requirements.
ChatMRO connects maintenance and procurement teams instantly with the right Jason Industrial hose—specify fluid type (water, petroleum, chemical, food), required pressure rating, hose diameter, and operating temperature range, and our AI surfaces matching Jason hose products with compatibility verification and lead times from our indexed 30M+ component database.

Frequently asked questions
How do I select the right hose pressure rating for my application?
Always choose a hose rated 4:1 safety factor above system relief pressure. If your pump is set to 2000 PSI, select a hose rated to at least 8000 PSI. This safety margin accounts for hose aging, temperature effects, and pressure spikes during valve actuation or line blockage. Never use the bare minimum—hose failure under pressure is catastrophic.
What's the difference between suction, discharge, and flat-lay hose designations?
Suction hose must be smooth-interior, collapsible-rated tubing that resists vacuum without collapsing onto itself. Discharge hose is rigid-walled, rated for full pump pressure outbound. Flat-lay hose collapses when not pressurized, reducing storage volume but requiring support lines to prevent kinking when idle. Choose based on your system layout and duty cycle.
Why is hose bend radius critical, and what happens if I exceed it?
Bending hose beyond its minimum radius causes kinking, which restricts flow and generates heat from internal friction. Kinked hose can rupture unexpectedly—particles dislodge from the inner layer and contaminate the hydraulic system. Always verify bend radius requirements with your system designer; Jason DREAMFLEX series offers smaller bend radii for confined spaces.
Can I use petroleum hose for chemical transfer if both are 'industrial grade'?
No—chemical hose inner liners are formulated to resist harsh solvents, acids, and bases. Petroleum hose inner liners will swell or soften when exposed to incompatible chemicals, causing leakage and contamination. Always match hose lining to your specific fluid chemistry; consult Jason compatibility charts before ordering.
How often should industrial hose be replaced as preventive maintenance?
Typical service life is 5–10 years depending on duty cycle, temperature exposure, and fluid type. Pressurized hose should be visually inspected annually for cracks, bulges, or weeping. Once visible damage appears, replacement is urgent. Many shops implement a 5-year replacement cycle for critical pump inlet/discharge lines regardless of visual condition, trading hose cost for uptime assurance.
