Purpose
In applications where the hose assembly may be mechanically abused by pulling the hose with excessive force at an angle to a connected end fitting. Also to render a hose assembly ‘Fireproof’ by protecting the end fitting area against the effects of fire.
Design
A second layer of rubber is applied and vulcanised directly on to the hose and the end fitting ferrule, 12” (300mm) along the hose from the fitting.
