NL2530 is a cost effective rubber steam hose designed for thawing, heat control, blowout service, etc. in refineries, shipyards, plants, mills, and other heavy industrial applications up to 232°C (450°F). Its smooth cover is resistant to heat, abrasion, and weathering (limited oil resistance) while its Pyrosyn tube provides good resistance to heat aging (limited resistance to hydrocarbons or oils). NL2530 has a 10:1 safety factor. We have listed some of our popular assemblies that can be made up from our bulk inventory; each assembly is coupled with heavy duty Boss Ground Joint couplings (see our 'Fittings Section' for more information). For short jumper steam assemblies under 10ft, consider using stainless steel assemblies.

Construction: Tube: Pyrosyn (high grade EPDM) rubber. Cover: Smooth, red Pyrosyn (high grade EPDM) rubber (pin pricked to prevent blistering); black available on special request (NL2561). Reinforcement: Wire braids (1/2" has one braid, 3/4" & 1" have two).

Typical Fittings: Interlocking bolt type coupling (ground joints (STEM-FEMALE,CAST)) or crimped ends recommended by the manufacturer. CLAMP-4BOLT-DIX interlocking bolt clamps MUST be checked and retightened before EACH use due to the cold flow/setting characteristics of rubber hose! DO NOT use N32 universals, camlocks, any gasket type fittings, N52 punch clamps, N66 pinch clamps, WC-SS crimp sleeves or N64 gear clamps - see safety warning information. Testing & certification.

Temperature Range: -40°C (-40°F) to +232°C (450°F)
