Material and Construction: Type E air conditioning hoses are typically constructed with a combination of rubber and synthetic materials. Ensure that the hose is made of high-quality materials that are resistant to heat, pressure, and refrigerant chemicals commonly used in air conditioning systems. Look for hoses with reinforced layers to provide added strength and durability.

When selecting a power steering hose from a catalog, it is important to consider factors such as the operating pressure of the power steering system, the temperature range in which the hose will be used, and the compatibility of the hose with the power steering fluid being used. Using a hose that does not meet these specifications can lead to leaks, loss of steering control, and damage to other components of the power steering system.
