NL1015 is a versatile heavy duty air hose for mining, construction, and other industrial applications up to 400psi (however most fittings and clamping methods do not permit such operating pressures). It can also be used as a heavy duty washdown hose on docks or in mills. NL1015 is made from higher grade compounds as compared to other more economical yellow air hoses on the market; its cover provides good handling integrity and grip while resisting standard abrasion, weathering, and gouging. Its tube is resistant to heat and moderate oil mist (RMA Class C petroleum based mist, do not use this hose with vegetable oil or mineral oil). Popular assemblies are listed below.

Construction: Tube: Black SBR/NBR rubber blend. Cover: Wrapped, yellow SBR/EPDM rubber blend. Reinforcement: Synthetic yarn.

Typical Fittings: Universals, Ground Joints, Double Lock/Twist Lock Quick Acting, N176 Hex Hose Nipples, N315/320 Long Shanks (water only), GJS/IMS series machined ground joint stems (must be coupled with WIL series extra-long interlocking crimp ferrules), punch clamps/crimp sleeves on small ID sizes (up to 1"), interlocking bolt clamps (crimp sleeves are not recommended on large bore heavy duty air hose applications such as 1-1/4" to 4" due to the tough cover and wall thickness - use interlocking bolt clamps). Note: 1-1/4"-2" 4-lug Universals should only be used in non-critical fluid transfer applications, they are NOT be used in critical applications or heavy duty air, it is a relatively poor and unsafe design for proper coupling integrity. Whipcheck Safety Cables or hose halters are mandatory on heavy duty air hoses for safety reasons. Interlocking bolt clamps MUST be checked and re-tightened before EACH use due to the cold flow/setting characteristics of rubber hose!

Temperature Range: -30°C (-22°F) to +85°C (185°F)

Detail Comments: Spuds are sold separately. Always re-tighten bolt clamps before EACH use.

Warning: Critical Application-Follow Coupling/Maintenance Procedures
