NL2517 is formulated with a chlorobutyl tube that offers resistance to heat aging and provides longer service life over traditional EPDM steam hoses. It's wrapped cover provides good abrasion resistance and handling integrity. It is commonly used in foundries, shipyards, chemical plants and refineries.

Construction: Tube: Black chlorobutyl rubber, compounded to resist heat aging. Cover: Red abrasion & heat resistant EPDM rubber. Reinforcement: Layers of high tensile steel wire.

Typical Fittings: Interlocking bolt type coupling (ground joints). Interlocking bolt clamps MUST be checked and retightened before EACH use due to the cold flow/setting characteristics of rubber hose! DO NOT use universals, camlocks, any gasket type fittings, punch clamps, pinch clamps, crimp sleeves or gear clamps with steam hose. We DO NOT recommend the use of "Imported" Ground Joint Couplings and clamps for Steam, Critical, Toxic, combustible fluids, or in cyclic conditions involving temperature or pressure. "Imported" Ground Joint Couplings and Clamps often do not meet stringent material or tolerance guidelines for critical applications. We ONLY RECOMMEND Dixon Boss or Campbell Viton Seal Ground Joint Couplings and Clamps for use with steam or critical applications - see safety warning information. Testing & certification.

Temperature Range: -40°C (-40°F) to +221°C (430°F)
