Online source for hydraulic hose sleeves/guards?

Anyone know a place to buy the nylon sleeves that protect hydraulic hoses online? I was thinking it would be useful to buy a roll.

Usual suspects, ie Agri-supply and surplus center don't have it.

thanks a lot

Charles, go to the McMaster-Carr website and do a search for nylon sleeving.

d'oh! Of course, McMaster Carr has everything...

I'd still love to hear of any other place anyone knows though.

DHH has it.

Tompkins Industries Hydraulic Adapters and Fittings. Personally, I prefer the plastic wrap. You can install it on existing hoses easily. The cloth holds garbage and moisture.

Thanks all.

Not familiar with the plastic wrap - is that the stuff that looks like an old phone cord?

I know you said "online", but check with your local hydraulic shop or tractor dealer. My dealer matched the size for my hoses and ordered a full roll. He let me cut what ever I needed and he kept the rest. I forget the cost per foot but it was reasonable and saved me the trouble and the shipping.

Always a good idea, I usually would rather support my local shop, but no such animal exists here. The local NAPA will make hoses, but that's about it.

Online is a bit of a lifesaver for me as a result.
