This Hi-Tech Duravent SLP-10 series PVC fiberglass duct hose is made of fiberglass coated with a single ply of flame-resistant gray vinyl, and is suitable for low-volume exhaust and ventilation applications that require flame resistance. The hose meets Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standard UL 181 for flame resistance, and is reinforced with a PVC (polyvinyl chloride)-reinforced spring steel wire helix for strength and resistance to crushing. The hose has a temperature range of 0 to +250 degrees F (-18 to +121 degrees C) and can be used with a variety of coupling options (not included). This PVC fiberglass duct hose is suitable for low-volume exhaust and ventilation applications in the health care, dry cleaning, and railroad industries, and others.

Industrial hoses transfer or convey air or liquid in hose systems. When selecting industrial hoses, use the STAMPED method: S = Size (ID, OD, and length) T = Temperature (maximum and minimum temperatures of material being transported) A = Application (industry or process) M = Material (to be conveyed, type and concentration) P = Pressure (maximum working pressure) E = Ends (type of end connectors or couplings on hose) D = Delivery method (volume and velocity)The inside diameter of the hose must be adequate to keep pressure loss to a minimum and avoid damage to the hose due to heat generation or excessive turbulence. The hose must be capable of withstanding the minimum and maximum temperatures that occur within the hose system. Some applications require specialized oils or chemicals to be conveyed through the system. In this case, hose selection must ensure compatibility of the hose tube, cover, couplings and O-rings with the fluid used. Industrial hoses are used in systems such as air compressors, automatic manufacturing operations, aircraft controls, and tire installation in industries including agriculture, mining, road construction, firefighting, and aviation.

Hi-Tech Duravent manufactures flexible hose and ducting for air, fume, and dust collection applications. The company, founded in 1947 as Flexible Technologies, is headquartered in Abbeville, SC.
