NL6025 is a general purpose, accordion-style, thermoplastic rubber ducting that has largely replaced traditional neoprene coated fabric ducting (such as our NL6010 DC/AF-2/CWC ducting which was made up from less durable fabrics that were glued together). RFH is commonly used for aggressive air handling, drying, fume control, dust collection, small wood chips, material chuting, leaf collection, or other industrial blower/ducting applications (not for use with liquids or very abrasive materials). It is a highly flexible hose that is air tight and has a high resistance to various chemicals, ozone, UV, moisture, punctures, weathering, flexural fatigue, as well as hot and cold temperatures. Contrary to other 'rubber' ducting on the market, our RFH has a slightly corrugated interior thereby minimizing friction loss and material buildup. We also offer it with a hardened external wear strip (NL6030, see next page) to reduce dragging friction and external chafing. For more aggressive, abrasive ducting applications, a thicker wall is available, but typically with more abrasive applications we recommend going to a urethane construction (although urethanes do not have as high of a temperature range). NL6025 can also be supplied with textile braiding for added tear/tensile strength if used to support parts/equipment.

Construction: Black, thermoplastic rubber with an integral left hand steel wire helix (NL6030 incorporates a yellow or orange hardened external wear strip). Helix spiral direction varies by brand.

Typical Fittings: N62/N64/N64BC/BCR gear clamps, T7-200X180 duct tape, N150-RS sheet metal ducting hose menders; this hose is typically not used with fittings.

Temperature Range: -51°C (-60°F) to +135°C (275°F); Intermittent to +150°C (300°F)

Detail Comments: All ducting is measured when fully extended.

Warning: Ducting is Measured/Cut when Fully Stretched.

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