This is similar to the NL8511/8512 Vacuum listed above, however this version has a smooth interior for less turbulence and better flow. The smooth bore version is not nearly as flexible and will NOT make flexible bends in short lengths as compared to the corrugated bore NL8511/8512. This hose is typically used in straight lengths on the top of the machine or in other areas not required to make short, tight bends. It offers more abrasion resistance, has soft cuffs for attaching, and is available in several odd sizes as compared to off-the-shelf products like our NL2100 Black Corrugated Rubber. The specifications shown below are based on a 3/16 (NL8541) or 1/4 thick tube (NL8542), but a 3/8 tube (NL8543) or 1/2 tube (NL8544) is also available on request. As a general rule, a thicker tube results in added abrasion resistance but less flexibility. OEM vacuum hose crossover available upon request.

Construction: Tube: Smooth, abrasion resistant rubber (NL8542 is 1/4" and NL8543 is 3/8"). Cover: Black, corrugated abrasion and weather resistant 1/8" thick SBR rubber. Reinforcement: 2-3 plies (depends on size) of fabric reinforcement with a steel wire helix.

Typical Fittings: This hose is typically attached directly to the street sweeper, N70-C202 strapping or N51 double bolt clamps.

Temperature Range: -40°C (-40°F) to +88°C (190°F) - Application dependent

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

Cut Method: Sawzall or Hacksaw & Side Snips for Wire-Wear Safety Gloves
