NL5019/NL5014 Vintner EPDM provides broader cleaning chemical and temperature resilience, ozone resistance, and increased strength and hardness to facilitate better coupling retention at elevated temperatures (whereas NL5015 Chlorobutyl could become soft when attacked by certain chemicals at higher temperatures). It will handle in-plant and/or tank truck transfer of wine, beer, potable water, certain spirits or juices, and other non-oily liquid foodstuffs (refer to EPDM chemical resistance charts). The monofilament helix is rust proof and is a crush-resistant alternative to traditional soft-wall or steel wire reinforced hoses. Its high-quality microbe-resistant tube is formed on a smooth chrome mandrel, designed to not impart taste or transfer odour for years of service. It is manufactured with FDA compliant compounds and meets USDA, and 3-A sanitary standard 18-03. We offer Vintner EPDM in a robust 250psi version, as well as lighter wall 150psi version.

Construction: Tube: EPDM Rubber. Cover: EPDM synthetic rubber. Reinforcement: Spiral plied synthetic fabric with monofilament helix.

Typical Fittings: Stainless Sanitary Inserts, N5013 Interlocking Sanitary Crimp w/N5013F Ferrule, Stainless Camlocks (exchange food grade gasket); for plain/non-interlock Insert Fittings, we recommend Stainless Band/Bolt Clamps. Excessive heat in long cycles can compromise coupling integrity on thick, soft durometer hoses.

Temperature Range: -34°C (-29°F) to +104°C (219°F)

Warning: Food Grade Hose-KEEP CLEAN. Customer to Sanitize Before Use

Cut Method: Ratchet Cutter or Like - No Sawing Due to Food Hose
