Integral Rubber Tapered Nozzle End
The inside diameter and the outside diameter of the hose end are gradually tapered
down to form a nozzle. The hose reinforcement is also extended to the end of the nozzle.
A rubber end cap is then added to
protect the reinforcement and
properly shape the nozzle.
This type of nozzle is available only
in non-wire inserted horizontal spiral
and wrapped ply machine-built hose.
Rubber Beaded End
A flared bell shape, molded as an integral part of the hose. The reinforcing fabric of the
hose body is extended beyond the straight portion of the hose and anchored around a
circular steel reinforcing ring.
A reattachable split malleable
iron flange is placed behind the
rubber bead to act as a metal
bearing surface for bolt heads and
nuts. Bolts used to connect mating
flanges pass over the outside
diameter of the beaded end.
Normally used in hand-built hose
constructions.
Integral Rubber Flanged End
Shaped similar to a metal pipe flange. It is molded as an integral part of the hose with
the tube, fabric reinforcement (not wire) and cover extending to the outside diameter
of the rubber flange.
The rubber flange has holes to match
customer requirements. In addition,
solid metal “backup” rings (drilled
to match the rubber flange holes)
are always placed behind the rubber
flange to provide a metal bearing
surface for bolt heads and nuts.
Available only in hand-built hose
constructions.
Soft End
The helical wire reinforcement is
terminated several inches back from
the end of the hose.
When a hose has either a corrugated
cover or tube or both, a soft end is
generally used and always has a
smooth inside diameter and outside diameter.
Normally used in hand-built hose constructions.
