Features
- 302 stainless steel reinforcement ensures hose pressure containment and supports
core to resist kinking.
- Silicone cover provides a smooth, noncontaminating, easy-to-clean surface and reduces
internal system fluid temperature transfer.
- Hose layers are encapsulated together without adhesives or cements with a patent-pending
process, providing high flexibility and outstanding kink resistance.
- Custom hose lengths and end connections are available
