Eaton's Aeroquip Performance Products Joins Forces with Craig Dollansky Racing
With
the 2011 season opener just round the corner on February 11th, Craig
Dollansky Racing is proud to announce a partnership with Aeroquip
Performance Products. When you're out on the road competing with the
World of Outlaws and the best sprint car drivers in the world, team's
need the best equipment the performance industry has to offer and Craig
Dollansky Racing has found that edge in Aeroquip Performance Products,
the leader in high quality hose and fittings and the only in-house
manufacturer of it's kind in the market.
"By
keeping the manufacturing in-house we are able to control our design
and manufacturing tolerances better than anyone else to ensure a leak
free connection," commented Business Development Manager Eric Durrant.
"We offer a full product line for your vehicle plumbing needs whether
it's in the form of a sprint car, dragster, hot rod, or off-road
vehicle, Aeroquip has it all. We even have multiple aluminum fitting
and adapter color options including black anodize for your personal
preference."
Having
been involved in NHRA for the past 8 years, Aeroquip's StartLite
product line has been the key to success in this area of racing.
"StartLite hose is half the weight of regular stainless steel braided
hose, has a working pressure rating up to 500 PSI with a 4:1 factor of
safety, and has a great Kevlar/Nomex blended cover for abrasion and
flame resistance," said Durrant. "The product has great flexibility,
requires less compression with reusable fittings, and is easy to work
with because you can cut it with a hand tool."
When
asked what prompted Aeroquip to partner with Craig Dollansky Racing,
Durrant stated that the StartLite product line is a perfect fit with
CDR. "Aeroquip's StartLite product has been gaining popularity and is
spreading into other areas of the performance industry. All dirt track
racing, especially with the World of Outlaws is perfect for this
product line given the competitive advantages of weight savings and the
high quality hose and fittings that Aeroquip offers. Craig Dollansky
Racing has been recognized as one of the best in this sport and we want
him using the best. I am truly looking forward to working with Craig
and the team this year!" Being
the industry leader doesn't just happen by chance, and that's where
Aeroquip's 'Proof 100' elements of Engineered, Tested, and Qualified
come into play. Engineered: Aeroquip hose and fittings are
specifically designed to work together, not just parts, but a system
that's built to Eaton standards which are recognized for quality around
the world. Tested: hose and fittings are constantly tested to ensure a
4:1 factory safety rule, 100% of the hose that goes out the door is
proof pressure tested to 2x the rated working pressure of the hose to
ensure there are absolutely no defects. A 4:1 factor also means the
products are designed and built to withstand 4x the rated working
pressure of the hose before any failure will occur. Qualified: no
other brand can claim they manufacture both hose and fittings in the
industry besides Aeroquip and they've done it for over 65 years,
setting the bar for the competition. Founded
in the 1940's and purchased by Eaton in the late 90's, Aeroquip has
evolved into three product lines: industrial, aerospace, and
performance. The industrial product line consists of very high
pressure hose and fittings designed for construction, agriculture, and
truck markets. The aerospace line has lightweight hose and fittings
specifically designed for the aerospace industry and their strict
standards. The performance product line deals with high quality
aluminum fittings, stainless steel and lightweight hoses, and aluminum
adapters. Aeroquip was the first to market and has a track record of
very high quality products in the performance industry. "Over the
years a number of new hose and fitting brands have entered the market
and the product looks very similar, but none have been able to match
the quality and legacy of Aeroquip Performance Products," said
Durrant. "Plumbing is not an area that you can afford to skip on
quality and only one brand gives you the greatest chance of a leak free
connection because we make it, Aeroquip Performance Products." Aeroquip Performance Products... we know it, because we make it!
