NL3405 is used in the same applications as our NL3400 Pyroflex, however it is availabe at a lower price point where handling characteristics and overall durability are not of prime concern. Can be used for transferring high temperature petroleum based products such as tar, asphalt, and hot oils. Resistant to ozone, weathering, and general handling conditions. SPECIAL NOTE: This hose has unique coupling requirements due to the thermal cycling of hot tar & asphalt applications; excessive heat changes the consistency of the rubber hose and can make it "gummy", hence making fitting retention more difficult and dangerous. Careful installation and monitoring of the assembly during service is required. At this time "Crimp Sleeves or Ferrules" are NOT recommended.

Construction: Black, heat resistant synthetic rubber. Cover: Wrapped, smooth, black synthetic rubber. Reinforcement: Wire helix between synthetic textile plies.

Typical Fittings: N70 Tri-lokt nipples or Camlocks with multiple band & buckle straps. Also can use Interlocking Ground Joint Couplings with Interlocking Clamps. At this time "Crimp Sleeves or Ferrules" are NOT recommended due to the thermal cycling mentioned above. Use VITON gasket for better heat resistance as compared to standard Buna-N nitrile gaskets. Fittings must be secured with reliable clamping method as the high temperatures of hot tar and asphalt causes the rubber to become spongy, thereby losing clamping integrity.

Temperature Range: -32.3°C (-26°F) to +176.6°C (350°F); Hot Oils to +93°C (+200°F)

Warning: Ground hose when cplg, strapping only, use Viton gaskets

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