Welding Hose
G422 GRADE R TWIN WELD
Grade R Twin Weld is designed for welding and cutting where oxygen and acetylene are used. Grade R is by far the most commonly used welding hose today. However G422 is not suitable for use with other fuel gas mixtures that have appeared in recent years. These hydrocarbon based fuel gases require a low-permeation, oil resistant hose

G411 & G412 GRADE R SINGLE LINE
Grade R Twin Weld is designed for welding and cutting where oxygen and acetylene are used. Grade R is by far the most commonly used welding hose today. However G422 is not suitable for use with other fuel gas mixtures that have appeared in recent years. These hydrocarbon based fuel gases require a low-permeation, oil resistant hose
| Tube: | Smooth, black, EPDM rubber. For use with acetylene or oxygen only. Not for use with other fuel gases |
| Reinforcement: | High-tensile spiraled synthetic yarn. |
| Cover: | Fluted (corrugated), weather and abrasion resistant EPDM rubber. Red for acetylene,green for oxygen. |

Steam Hose
G572 RED DEVIL
Red Devil is manufactured using layers of high-tensile spiral wire for extra flexibility and with a heavy, wrapped cover for durability. It is rated for saturated steam to 250 psi and is our most popular steam hose for heavy industrial applications.

| Tube: | Black EPDM rubber compounded for high resistance to heat aging. |
| Reinforcement: | Spiral layers of brass-plated, high-tensile, steel wire. |
| Cover: | Smooth, red, abrasion, weather, and heat resistant EPDM rubber, pin-pricked to prevent blistering. |
| Temperature Range: | -40°C (-40°F) to 208°C (406°F) …short peaks to 232°C (450°F) |
G573… CHLOROBUTYL STEAM
Chlorobutyl rubber has excellent heat resistance and is less permeable to gases than other synthetic rubbers. These characteristics provide for a steam hose with improved life expectancy. Not only does the tube compound not age so quickly, but it absorbs much less steam. When steam hoses cycle from hot to cold, the steam that has been absorbed into the steam hose tube condenses. When it is suddenly re-heated, the water can vaporize and cause tiny "explosions" into the tube. The result is an effect called "pop corning" where the hose bore appears to have bubbled. Chlorobutyl rubber has improved resistance to this effect.
