Flexaust says it has developed a crush-resistant heater/defroster and auxiliary power unit hose for automotive, trucking, motorhome, heavy-equipment, marine, RV and related applications.
The Flexaust Dayflex DFD-T Heater & Defroster Hose is made from lightweight thermoplastic rubber and is reinforced with an internal polypropylene helix. Pliable, crush-resistant and compressible for easy installation, the hose meets FMVSS 302 flame standards, operates from -40 to 225 degrees Fahrenheit, and is suited for a range of heater, defroster and ventilation applications, according to the company.
Available in eight sizes from 1 to 4 inches I.D. in standard 25- and 50-foot lengths, the hose is supplied black with a plain cut end finish and is available with optional cuffs. It also can be supplied white and can be manufactured with PVC materials. For more information, go to www.flexaust.com.
