Vardex Clear Steel Wire PVC Reinforced Suction Hose – 3/8 ID

The Vardex® Clear Steel Wire Reinforced PVC Suction Hose is constructed of non-toxic, corrosion-resistant PVC, and is specifically suited for transporting chemicals in areas with sharp bends or tight turns. This is because its bend radius is approximately four times its inner diameter, making it perfect for applications where resistance to crushing and kinking is of primary importance. During its manufacture, a proprietary construction technique is employed which permits Vardex full vacuum capabilities (29.9 in./Hg.) for all sizes without hose collapse.
Applications:

• Chemical Transfer
