Amazon Hose would like to extend a warm congratulation to all employees that have met the requirements for certification under the NAHAD Hose Assembly Guidelines Program.  All Amazon warehouse manager’s, sales associates and hose assemblers are required to study the related guides and pass exams in order to receive formal certificates of completion in each area. It’s all part of Amazon’s commitment to industry standard recommendations that focus on ensuring hose assembly safety, quality and reliability.

The NAHAD Hose Assembly Guidelines Program provides a comprehensive set of minimum performance recommendations for the Specification, Fabrication and Design of Industrial, Composite, Hydraulic, Corrugated Metal and Fluoropolymer hose assemblies, as well as additional Guides for Ducting and Custom Made Hose.  Say that three times fast!

Just remember our promise:  Our People Know Their Stuff. They Know Yours Too!  Our Amazon employees go the extra inch and mile to stay current in product knowledge and industry regulated standards.  These efforts pay off in better efforts in understanding customer needs.

The Orlando Business Journal asked owners of the most successful woman-owned businesses in Central Florida to name the most influential woman in their lives. Summer Rodman, President of Amazon Hose, named her grandmother Lorena Jacoby. Lorena successfully ran the family business when the industry was more male dominated and less hospitable to woman business owners.

AH&R assists us in determining the proper material and part for our specific need. Amazon also has excellent customer service with a 1-day turnaround for most orders.

Amazon can remanufacture your old air conditioning hose or power steering hose and help get your car back on the road.

In most cases, the rubber hose wears out with age and the aluminum or steel fittings and tube assemblies on the ends can be reused. Our technicians will cut off the old ends and reuse them by brazing or welding them to new fittings and installing them on a brand new hose.

While we are able to perform this service on most a/c and power steering hose assemblies, there are some exceptions, so it’s best to consult a member of our sales team before bringing in your hose.

Amazon stocks a wide variety of tubing for many different applications. Our extensive selection includes clear PVC, polyethylene, nylon, silicone, polyurethane, latex, and PTFE, along with other special application items such as nylon air-brake tubing. Also, don’t forget we carry all the push-connect and compression fittings you’ll need to finish the job.
