NL8155 has a highly abrasion-resistant gum rubber tube that makes this hose suitable to convey non-oily abrasive materials such as sand, gravel, limestone, rock dust, and fertilizers. It is also suitable to handle dry, abrasive products such as animal feed, sugar, corn, and grain (where static is not an issue). As a guide, when comparing this hose to "urethane tube/lined" hoses, it is typically more durable but is heavier and less flexible. This hose is NOT designed for use where static electricity is a problem; for applications where static buildup is an issue, use another hose.

Construction: Tube: Smooth, tan, 3/16" thick pure gum rubber, non-oil resistant. Cover: Corrugated, tan SBR rubber with a yellow or red stripe. Reinforcement: Spiral double wire helix between synthetic fabric.

Typical Fittings: Insert-type fittings can wear out prematurely with highly abrasive products and due to the thick, soft tube it is difficult to get good fitting retention on this hose. N8200C-AL external Blucor flanges are NOT designed for use on this hose due to the smaller OD. Use N51 double bolt clamps or N70-C2xx strapping.

Temperature Range: -30°C (-22°F) to +80°C (176°F)

Detail Comments: Service life of material handling hoses may vary depending on the operating conditions, hours of use, and the product being conveyed. Always rotate the hose regularly for even wear and inspect the tube for degradation before use.

Warning: Ground this Hose Properly with Wire During Coupling.

Cut Method: Sawzall or Hacksaw & Side Snips for Wire-Wear Safety Gloves
