General Information
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 zzbeaded 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.
