Replacing aviation hose can be a costly exercise. Refuel International Hose Beads save the hose from rubbing along the tarmac, thus avoiding wear and tear and hence prolonging the lifespan of the aviation hose. The yellow bead acts as a hose marker in night conditions and also allows for relatively effortless maneuvering of the hose. Refuel International suggests that a bead is fitted for every 500 mm run of hose.
