Linde 1314484018 Flexible Formed Hose for N20 Series
Overview
The 1314484018 flexible formed hose is a replacement part specified for Linde forklift trucks. Formed hoses are pre-shaped during manufacture so they follow a fixed routing inside the chassis, holding their geometry under pressure and vibration where a straight hose would kink, stretch or chafe against surrounding components. When a hose on this line becomes cracked, abraded or starts to weep at the fittings, replacing it promptly with the correct reference — the 1314484018 for N20 — helps prevent fluid loss and unplanned downtime.
Compatibility
The 1314484018 flexible formed hose is specified for the Linde N20 series of forklift trucks, covering the N20, N20 B, N20HP, N20L, N20LI and N20LoL variants, together with the related N24 model. Because variant codes can look similar, always confirm the reference against the number on your original hose or your truck’s parts documentation before ordering. No additional OEM cross-references are listed for this part; if you only have another number to hand, our parts specialists can check whether it corresponds to 1314484018.
Quality and Reliability
This hose is produced to the original Linde specification, matching the dimensions, bend angles and end fittings of the component fitted during production. Correct geometry is critical with formed hoses: a hose that sits even slightly out of position can rub against the chassis, wear through prematurely and interrupt operation. Fitting the specified Linde 1314484018 keeps the routing identical to the original design, supports consistent fluid flow and helps the surrounding components work as intended. For trucks that work multiple shifts, using the correct reference part is the most reliable way to keep maintenance predictable.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
Before you fit the new hose, a few practical steps will make the job cleaner and safer:
- Depressurize the relevant circuit and let residual pressure dissipate before loosening fittings.
- Place a drip tray under the work area and cap open ports against contamination.
- Lay the new 1314484018 hose alongside the old one and check that the formed bends, length and fittings match before installation.
- Route the hose along the original path without twisting, and refit any clips or brackets.
- Tighten fittings to the torque values in the Linde service literature and check for leaks before returning the truck to service.
- During routine servicing, inspect hoses for abrasion, bulging, cracking or dampness at the fittings and replace them at the first sign of wear.
