Hydraulic hose

[glastron23]

JJ.. there are no dumb questions, just questions that need to be answered, yes the hose CAN conduct electricity but to TRUST it to perform all the time with out question.. NO. if the machine has any form of computers or electrically controlled systems then i would be running the best ground system i can find.If the machine uses only hoses for ground and they fail it will be the next form of ground, be it the cylinder,control cables, coils on other valve spools or the bearings on the swing mounts.

Sure you can make electricity travel through breaded hoses, but it is like spinning the "six bullet chamber".....

EDIT:
I cant see a reason to rely on hose conductivity as an option to regular electric wiring. Is there a good reason??
I prefer to use proper electric wiring to prevent breaded hoses become conductive.

They are breaded prior to cooking. Keeps the moisture in.

I would be more concerned about electrolysis. May not hurt the hose but, may ruin other fittings that may be less noble.
