vacuum hose
G940 COMMERCIAL VACUUM
An extremely flexible and lightweight hose for vacuuming wet or dry materials in shops and car washes. The hose is crush-proof because it returns to its original shape when collapsed or twisted.
| Construction: | Grey, extruded, abrasion-resistant polyethylene, helically wound on itself to produce an airtight hose with a smooth interior and a durable exterior cap. |
| Temperature Range: | -40°C (-40°F) to 60°C (140°F). |
G945 ALL-PURPOSE VACUUM
This crush-proof hose is designed to handle the chemicals, temperatures, and hard wear encountered in professional carpet steam cleaning operations. The flat exterior cap prevents hang-ups around corners. G945 is also excellent for commercial car vacuum stations and wherever a rugged vacuum hose is required. Standard 50 ft. lengths come complete with permanently attached cuffs at both ends.
| Construction: | A co-extrusion of polyethylene-based compounds. The tube is compounded for resistance to detergents and chemicals; the cover is formulated for maximum abrasion resistance. The two T shaped helixes interlock to provide an airtight hose with smooth tube and cover. Black tube and blue cover. |
| Temperature Range: | -40°C (-40°F) to 60°C (140°F). |
G90 VINYL SCREW CUFFS
Vinyl Screw Cuffs and Unions are threaded to fit over G940 and G945 vacuum hoses, providing a tight seal and full internal flow. We also offer G90S swivel cuffs to resist hose twisting.
G90U VINYL SCREW UNIONS
Vinyl Screw Cuffs and Unions are threaded to fit over G940 and G945 vacuum hoses, providing a tight seal and full internal flow. We also offer G90S swivel cuffs to resist hose twisting.
G946 REINFORCED VACUUM
The fabric reinforcing in the wall of G946 Vacuum provides excellent resistance to constant flexing while still providing a very lightweight and flexible hose. Reinforced vacuum also is popular as a superior bilge pump and vent hose, since it resists cracking, yet will conform to very tight bends without collapsing.
| Construction: | Fiber reinforced PVC laminate bonded to a coated spring steel helix wire. |
| Temperature Range: | -30°C (-22°F) to 65°C (150°F). |
ducting and vacuum hose
G941GT PVC DUCT
This extremely flexible, all-plastic hose is for conveying light particles, fumes, and air in ducting applications. G941GT is an economical product for fume and light dust collection, business machine air vent lines, bilge venting and material chutes.
| Construction: | Clear, thin, flexible PVC, supported by a rigid PVC helix. |
| Interior: | Abrasion and mild chemical resistant PVC that is smooth when laid straight. |
| Exterior: | Hard, grey PVC helix that protrudes above the clear tube to reduce resistance and abrasion when the hose is dragged. |
| Temperature Range: | Static condition -20°C (-4°F) to 65°C (150°F). Dynamic condition -10°C ( 14°F) to 40°C (104°F). |
G941CG LIGHT DUTY DUCTING AND COVER GUARD
G941CG was originally developed as a cover guard for cable protection. However we stock the 4" size because it is popular as a light duty collection duct for wood working and other shop uses where a low-cost ducting is required.
| Construction: | Clear, thin, flexible PVC, supported by a rigid PVC helix. |
| Interior: | Abrasion and mild chemical resistant PVC that is smooth when laid straight. |
| Exterior: | Hard, grey PVC helix that protrudes above the clear tube to reduce resistance and abrasion when the hose is dragged. |
| Temperature Range: | Static condition -20°C (-4°F) to 65°C
(150°F). Dynamic condition -10°C ( 14°F) to 40°C (104°F). |
AV & AVB AIR VENT & BLOWER DUCTING
AV is a lightweight vinyl duct supported by a steel wire for use in venting bilge fumes. It is also suitable for bathroom fan and general purpose air exhaust. In the past, AV was commonly used for venting clothes dryers, however it is no longer recommended for that application. Clothes dryer duct should be UL listed and be made from a metallic fire resistant material.
| Construction: | White or black vinyl supported by a 0.034" steel wire helix. |
| Temperature Range: | -20°C (-4°F) to 65°C (150°F). |
G1740 URETHANE BLOWER
Polyurethane is an amazingly durable and abrasion resistant material. Because of this feature, Urethane Blower hose can be very lightweight and flexible and yet stand up to abrasion that would wear out comparable PVC or polyethylene hoses almost immediately. Urethane Blower hose is great for insulation blowing, lawn cleaning, leaf collection and abrasive material chutes. Polyurethane also remains flexible at very low temperatures.
| Construction: | Translucent, thin, flexible polyurethane, supported by a rigid green PVC helix. |
| Interior: | Highly abrasion resistant polyurethane that is smooth when laid straight. |
| Exterior: | Hard, green PVC helix that protrudes above the clear tube to reduce resistance and abrasion when the hose is dragged. |
| Temperature Range: | Static condition: -40°C (-40°F) to 65°C (150°F). Dynamic condition -30°C (-22°F) to 40°C (104°F) |
Ducting Hose
DC DOUBLE-PLY DUCTING
Our blue DC Ducting is well known for providing exceptional service in dust collection, fume removal, car-wash air drying, and light material handling applications. The superior fabric adhesion means that the hose will not delaminate in high flow situations such as warm air dryers in automatic car washes, and the heavy cotton fabric maximizes wear.
| Construction: | Two plies of cotton/polyester blend fabric that have been impregnated with blue neoprene rubber and wrapped over a galvanized steel wire helix. |
| Wear Strip Option: | This duct is available with an external wear strip (part number DCW). |
| Temperature Range: | -40°C (-40°F) to 120°C (248°F). |
TPR THERMOPLASTIC RUBBER
Our thermoplastic rubber ducting is constructed from the highest grade material available. The resulting product has great ozone, ultra-violet, and weathering resistance. TPR duct is well suited to most industrial ventilation and light material handling applications, and is also resistant to a wide variety of chemicals and solvents. The unique, flexible rubber compound has excellent tear and puncture resistance and functions well over a wide temperature range.
| Construction: | Black, thermoplastic rubber (Santoprene®‚) encapsulating a galvanized wire helix. Ducting wall thickness is 0.025". |
| Wear Strip Option: | This duct is available with an external wear strip (part number DCW). |
| Temperature Range: | -50°C (-58°F) to 135°C (275°F) |
TPU THERMOPLASTIC URETHANE DUCTING
Where standard ducting does not give satisfactory life due to the abrasive product being conveyed, polyurethane ducting takes over. Urethane not only provides many times the wear resistance of regular fabric, thermoplastic, and rubber ducting, it also remains flexible at very low temperatures. The translucent film allows users to see material build-up in the hose. We stock common sizes of 45 mil TPU, but this ducting is also available on special order in lighter 30 mil as well as heavier 60 mil wall thicknesses. A food grade formulation is available on special request. Typical applications are leaf collection, street cleaning, rock drilling, sawdust and wood chip recovery.
| Construction: | Three layers of translucent blue 15 mil urethane film over an encapsulated spring steel wire helix. Ducting wall thickness is .045". |
| Temperature Range: | -50°C (-58°F) to 80°C (176°F) |
PVW UTILITY BLOWER
Utility blower hose is typically used for venting manholes and supply heated air. It is also found in flood and water damage restoration where dried air is blown into buildings and damp air is removed. Utility Blower has a much wider pitch wire than conventional ducting for maximum compressibility allowing compact storage.
| Construction: | Single ply of polyester-vinyl laminate with vinyl wear strip bonded to a expanded pitch steel helix wire. |
| Temperature Range: | -30°C (-22°F) to 80°C (176°F), intermittent use to 105°C (221°F). |
