Application:

SUPERGLASS EAF Water Hose

Designed for use in:

• furnace
• roof
• LMF or
• Castor mold

...water supply and return applications.

Ideal for systems where torsion movement, vibration, water hammer or heat fatigue lead to unsatisfactory metal hose performance. The elastomeric characteristics absorb and dissipate torsion movement, vibration and water hammers. The fiberglass cover can be configured to dissipate the maximum amount of heat possible. SUPERGLASS EAF Water Hoses can be furnished with duck and rubber flanges, beaded ends and back up rings or built in nipples with flanges or male pipe threads.

SUPERGLASS Water Hoses can be built to resist ABRASIVE WEAR caused by hose-to-hose friction, or resulting from hoses rubbing on furnace infrastructure. Utilizing a vulcanized SPIRAL BUMPER along specific portions of the hose allows Salem-Republic Rubber to minimize the damage to fiberglass hose covers.

SUPERGLASS Water Hoses can be built to accommodate a heat differential along the length of the hose. The basic SUPERGLASS Water Hose relies upon 1 or 2 plies of vulcanized fiberglass over its entire length. In order to address a varying heat profile, Salem-Republic Rubber can vulcanize up to (4) plies of HEAT RESISTANT FIBERGLASS over a specific potion of the hose, at each end of the hose or over the entire hose length.
