NL5065 is a hardwall, wire helix reinforced, suction or transfer hose manufactured with FDA compliant compounds for food and beverage applications such as: dairy, beer, wine, alcohol, juice, potable water, fatty foods, oily edibles, and non-abrasive foodstuffs up to 100°C (212°F). The nitrile rubber construction allows for flexibility, ease of handling, resists external abrasion, wear and weathering provides extended durability whereas a more economical rubber or PVC hoses may break down prematurely. It also performs as an economical alternative to higher end, poly helix, rubber food hoses that are designed for more frequent use at higher temperatures. For a softwall delivery or washdown version, refer to NL5060 nitrile. NOTE: always confirm if chemical sanitizers are compatible with the nitrile rubber compounds of this hose. For an EPDM version see NL5067.

Construction: Tube: Smooth, white NBR, fat and oil resistant FDA CFR 21 177.2600 (e) Cover: Wrapped, blue NBR/PVC, oil, abrasion, ozone and weather resistant. Reinforcement: 2-ply synthetic fabric and a galvanized steel wire helix.

Typical Fittings: Stainless Sanitary Inserts (Tri-Clamp, Acme, etc), N5013 Interlocking Sanitary Crimp w/N5013F Ferrule, White Poly or Stainless Camlocks (exchange food grade gasket); for plain/non-interlock Insert Fittings, we recommend Stainless Band/Bolt Clamps (NOT recommended with plain, non-interlocking WC-SS crimp sleeves due to temperature rubber flow & coupling integrity). Excessive heat in long cycles can compromise coupling integrity on thick, soft durometer hoses.

Temperature Range: -35°C (-31°F) to +100°C (212°F)

Warning: Food Grade Hose-KEEP CLEAN. Customer to Sanitize Before Use

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