Genesis STM Polyethylene Duct Hose, Orange, 1.5" ID, 50' Length

This Flexaust Genesis STM orange polyethylene duct hose assembly is suitable for use with truck-mounted and portable carpet cleaning units. It is made with a single wall of extruded polyethylene for resistance to abrasion and chemicals and solvents at elevated temperatures. It has a smooth interior for air flow efficiency. The hose is reinforced with a polyethylene helix for strength, low drag, and resistance to crushing and for maintaining its maximum working pressure and a vacuum rating of 29 Hg. The hose has a temperature range of -40 to +160 degrees F and comes with two factory-installed polyweld cuffs for connecting to equipment. This duct hose assembly is suitable for vacuum and carpet cleaning applications with appropriately sized receptacles.

Industrial hoses transfer or convey air or liquid in hose systems. When selecting industrial hoses, use the STAMPED method:

S = Size (ID, OD, and length)

T = Temperature (maximum and minimum temperatures of material being transported)

A = Application (industry or process)

M = Material (to be conveyed, type and concentration)

P = Pressure (maximum working pressure)

E = Ends (type of end connectors or couplings on hose)

D = Delivery method (volume and velocity)

The inside diameter of the hose must be adequate to keep pressure loss to a minimum and avoid damage to the hose due to heat generation or excessive turbulence. The hose must be capable of withstanding the minimum and maximum temperatures that occur within the hose system. Some applications require specialized oils or chemicals to be conveyed through the system. In this case, hose selection must ensure compatibility of the hose tube, cover, couplings and O-rings with the fluid used. Industrial hoses are used in systems such as air compressors, automatic manufacturing operations, aircraft controls, and tire installation in industries including agriculture, mining, road construction, firefighting, and aviation.
