Our NL8005 Sandblast hose is for general sandblast applications. It is designed for high velocity transfer of sand, steel shot, and other abrasive materials seen in building maintenance, restoration, or the cleaning and finishing of metal parts, stone, or glass. It is a kink resistant hose that will withstand external abuse and internal abrasion. Its static conductive tube dissipates static electricity to prevent dangerous shocks. The NL8006 whip hose is a "10% lighter" hose designed with a 10% thinner wall in order to reduce operator fatigue (it is not that popular due to the marginal difference to NL8005). The whip hose uses the same size couplings as its nominal ID (hose OD is important with sandblast couplings).

Construction: Tube: 1/4" Thick black, heavy duty, static conductive natural rubber blend. Cover: Black wrapped, pin-pricked synthetic rubber. Reinforcement: 3/4" thru 2" - Four-plies of synthetic fabric; 1/2" & Whip Hoses - Two-plies of synthetic fabric.

Typical Fittings: N8005 Series external sandblast couplings and adapters (nylon, alum., or brass); cut ends squarely and ensure screws don't penetrate tube. Internal fittings will typically wear out prematurely due to the velocity of the abrasive materials. Whipcheck safety cables.

Temperature Range: -30°C (-22°F) to +85°C (185°F)

Detail Comments: Service life of material handling hoses may vary depending on the operating conditions, hours of use, and the product being conveyed. Always rotate the hose regularly for even wear and inspect the tube for degradation before use.

Cut Method: Ratchet Cutter (<2"ID ) Safety Scissors - Wear Safety Gloves
