- Description
Utility hoses for Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopters are multipurpose flexible lines used in auxiliary and cross-system circuits where fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid, air or other working media must be transferred between onboard components. In maintenance practice, these hoses are selected by aircraft part number, hose type, fitting configuration, length, operating medium, pressure class and the exact installation point on the helicopter.
On Mi-8 / Mi-17 family helicopters, utility hoses may be used in secondary hydraulic lines, auxiliary pneumatic circuits, service fuel or oil routes, tank-related connections, drainage sections and other onboard systems where a standard system-specific hose category does not fully describe the application. Some assemblies operate in areas exposed to vibration, temperature changes, bending loads, fuel or oil vapors and general environmental influence, so correct identification is normally checked against documentation or an installed sample.
This category includes OST-standard utility hoses, AMT-series, AT-series, U-series and fluoroplastic hose types, as well as complete aviation hose assemblies for Mi-8, Mi-17 and related Mi-171 helicopter versions. Depending on the application, the hose may be supplied as an auxiliary fluid line, air transfer hose, tank connection hose, drainage line or ready-to-install assembly manufactured according to the required part number, drawing, sample or technical specification.
All utility hoses in this category are supplied only in factory new condition. Used, repaired, overhauled or serviceable hoses are not offered. For multipurpose aircraft hose assemblies, storage life, material compatibility, sealing quality, reinforcement condition and resistance to fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid, air or environmental exposure are important for safe installation and future maintenance planning.
For MRO companies, repair plants and fleet operators, replacement of Mi-8 / Mi-17 utility hoses is usually required during scheduled maintenance, overhaul, auxiliary system repair, modernization work, troubleshooting of leaks or long-term fleet support programs. In many cases, the correct hose cannot be selected by system name alone; the exact routing, connection points and operating medium must also be confirmed.
Aviamisto supplies Mi-8 and Mi-17 utility hoses, multipurpose aviation hose assemblies and related helicopter spare parts for operators, MRO organizations, repair facilities and aviation parts suppliers. Some standard positions may be available from UAE or EU stock locations, while less common hose assemblies are produced or sourced upon request after confirmation of the part number, configuration and required documentation. Technical passports, certificates of conformity, batch traceability or origin documents may be provided for selected items when available.
