NL3040 is used in similar applications as our NL3020/3034 but has a specially compounded cover to resist biodiesel which will prematurely degrade the cover of standard Petroleum Transfer hoses. This hose is specifically designed for applications where biodiesel can come into contact with the outside of the hose. It can be used for suction, return, or discharge (NOT designed for reel applications as it has a wire helix) of biodiesel blends, B- 100, ethanol, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, hydraulic fluids, hydrocarbons, fats, greases, animal/vegetable oils, and certain solvents (not recommended for fuels with an aromatic content exceeding 60%). Its cover is resistant to gouging, abrasion, and weathering. For short lengths (i.e. 3ft) or permanent installations where the hose cannot be inspected or tested at regular intervals use a Stainless Steel braided hose.

Construction: Tube: Synthetic Rubber. Cover: Wrapped, corrugated, black synthetic rubber (special nitrile blend) with a green spiral stripe. Reinforcement: Wire helix between synthetic textile plies.

Typical Fittings: Swage/crimp permanent fittings, 316SS camlocks, N10-GS combination nipples (return only), testing & certification. N95/96 permanent brass Scovills may NOT be recommended for use with Biodiesel as brass may accelerate the oxidation of the Biodiesel which can lead to the formation of sediments or gels in the fuel. Note: Corrugated hose exteriors are not recommended for use with internal expansion Scovill fittings; Scovills only recommended for smooth wall hose such as our NL3020 Flexwing.

Temperature Range: -34°C (-30°F) to +82°C (180°F)

Warning: Critical App, Ground Hose Properly w/ Wire during Coupling

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