NL8220 Elephant Trunk is a custom made, semi-collapsible hose (no wire helix) designed specifically for the gravity or open end discharge of dry bulk or wet concrete where a lighter, softwall sleeve is required or preferred over more heavy duty, higher pressure concrete hose. For light, non rugged materials on open end, some users simply use NL2113 Rubber Water Discharge or NL8150 Softwall Bulkmaster. NL8220 is available in odd internal diameters in order to accommodate piping. At times, Elephant Trunk hose is also used as a chute for light powders - in such a case a standard ducting hose may be suitable.

Construction: Tube: Smooth, 1/8" thick pure gum rubber. Cover: Wrapped, black SBR rubber. Reinforcement: Two plies of high tensile, spiral synthetic cords.
