NL8105 is a very flexible, lightweight hose designed for full vacuum or transfer (psi/hg ratings at 20C/70F) of light abrasive materials (wet or dry) such as sand, stones, fly ash, metals, pellets, fertilizers, light slurries, bark, as well as various chemicals, waste, or water solutions (when used for wet materials spiral clamps must be used for proper sealing). It has a 'hardened external PVC helix' that provides low dragging friction across concrete or rough surfaces and it has a polyurethane tube which is more durable than PVC - even at sub-zero temperatures. It is as light in weight as a PVC hose but provides the durability of a rubber hose (although it should be rotated during service). For highly abrasive products we recommend going with other products like our NL8110, NL8155, etc. NL8106 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. *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.

Construction: Tube: Smooth, clear polyurethane, static-dissipating (conductive). Cover: Corrugated, black PVC hardened for lower dragging friction. Reinforcement: Rigid, left hand (counter clockwise) PVC helix.

Typical Fittings: Insert type fittings can wear out prematurely with highly abrasive products; N676 left hand spiral clamps, N51 double bolt clamps. Note: Spiral clamps or N70-C2xx strapping must be used for proper sealing with wet materials.

Temperature Range: -40°C (-40°F) to +65°C (149°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. Continuous flexing of a hose within 18 inches of a fitting is a common cause of hose failure. We recommend installing a 12 to 16 inch section of Banding Coil to the hose end that is over flexing.
