Heat Treated Swage Ends For Rubber Concrete Hose, Flanges - 602
Our "heat treated" permanent swage fittings are specifically designed for use on concrete hoses & material hoses where durability is a concern. Standard carbon steel can wear out prematurely due to the abrasiveness of materials, and heat treated ends could outlast standard carbon steel ends at least 2-to-1 (ours have a Rockwell Hardness of .020-.025CH RC58-62). "Swaging" requires no bolts or buckles and results in a "clean" attachment without protrusions. We DO NOT recommend repairing concrete hose as the wall/tube wears, and re-coupling has reduced integrity/coupling strength.
