ContiTech Hydrovator is a rugged hose ideally suited for aggressive hydrovac operations containing abrasive materials and offers a durable alternative to our NL2100/NL8110/NL8155 Material Transfer hoses. The corrugated Plioflex cover provides good flexibility and durability, while the advanced formulated tube provides outstanding abrasion and tear resistance when handling even the coarsest of materials in Hydro Excavation - including mud, sand and rock. Our NL8185 (standard) has a black NR Tube with a static dissipating Chemituf liner while the NL8180 has a red 3/16" thick NR tube and greater reinforcing for suction & discharge applications up to 75PSI. Hydrovator is available with Survivor tube (NL8185ST-xxxXlgth) and also available in custom built lengths supplied with soft cuff ends for ease of installation. NL8160 is a generic unbranded product that delivers quality and economy, it offers a lower price point alternative to higher end, proven brand name products and is designed to compete with lower cost alternatives being introduced to the market.
