A durable, Kevlar® coated high temperature fabric hose that is locked around a coated steel wire by a metal strip formed into a clip and offers superior abrasion-resistance has been introduced by Flexaust of Warsaw, Indiana.
Flex-Lok® 570 high temperature exhaust hose is constructed with a single-ply Para-Aramid fabric that is locked around a coated steel wire by a metal strip and is mechanically crimped in a continuous process. Ideal for fume venting at -40°F to 570°F temperatures, this lightweight flexible hose is flame-retardant, puncture-resistant, and provides high tensile strength.
Suitable for reel and drop systems, the Flex-Lok 570 high temperature exhaust hose’s metal strip acts as a wear strip and is vibration-resistant. Hoses are offered in 4” to 18” I.D. sizes and 25 ft. standard lengths. A 4” hose weighs approx. 0.71 lbs/ft., has a 3” bend radius, and 6:1 compression ratio. Applications include exhaust venting and welding fume extraction.
