Rubber Hose
Industrial rubber hose tends to be highly durable, reinforced and abrasion
resistant. Rubber hose manufacturers make the strongest rubber hose able to
withstand extreme temperatures and high pressure. Because of its strength and
flexibility, rubber hose can be produced in long lengths and in suitable diameters
able to transport streams of substances, such as hot water, steam, fuel, chemicals
and beer, to locations many feet from starting points.
Rubber hose, often containing inner lining or tubing, can come in many material
make-ups utilizing a combination of rubber compounds: white FEP, nitrile, SBR,
chlorobutyl, modified cross-linked polyethylene, multiple layers of polypropylene,
PVC coated polyester, Teflon®, blue synthetic rubber with an external PVC
helix, EPDM, Viton®, natural rubber, etc. Rubber hose suppliers offer corrugated
rubber hose, rubber hose assemblies and couplings and hoses of various weights
and flexibilities.
Rubber hose can be used as a connector between two enclosed spaces or for suctioning,
venting or spraying gas or liquid into a certain area. Some offerings from
rubber hose manufacturers include truck or aircraft fueling hose, vapor recovery
hose, aggressive chemical transfer hose, chemical food quality hose, oilfield
vacuum hose, concrete placement/pump/plaster hose, heavy duty dock hose, dredging
hose, fire engine suction and discharge hose, crush and kink resistant food/beverage
suction hose, marine exhaust/fuel hose, military spec hose, etc.
