Variflex® is a quality, non-conductive general service hose manufactured with oil-resistant rubber. It can be used as an air or water hose (not food grade) where the more cost effective general purpose hose will not provide long enough service life, especially in oily environments (not typically for use around ozone due to nitrile composition). Its tube is highly resistant to oil-saturated air and lubricating oils (RMA Class A) while its cover is designed to resist greasy or oily environments (RMA Class A) with regular abrasion. The minimum electrical resistance is greater than 1 megohm per inch of hose length at 1000V DC. NOTE: Multi-Purpose Hoses ARE NOT INTENDED for critical applications or permanent mechanical installations, such as interior plumbing applications, heat pump connectors, natural gas, critical fluids, etc.

Construction: Tube: Black, high ORS Chemigum (nitrile) rubber. Cover: Red, medium-high ORS Chemigum (nitrile blend) rubber. Reinforcement: Spiral synthetic yarn.
