Question: 1 / 1030

The purpose of the yellow stripe running the length of a MIL-H-8794 hydraulic hose is to:

Identify the hose as fire-resistant

Ensure that the hose is installed without excessive twisting

The yellow stripe on a MIL-H-8794 hydraulic hose is designed to ensure that the hose is installed without excessive twisting. By avoiding excessive twisting, the hose is more likely to perform at its best and less likely to deteriorate or break. The other options are incorrect because A. This is not the purpose of the yellow stripe; B. The purpose of the yellow stripe is to prevent twisting, not to identify fire-resistance; C. The maximum pressure capacity is typically marked on the hose itself, not indicated by a yellow stripe; D. The yellow stripe does not signify compatibility with mineral base fluids. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
