Applications

Galvanised Steel Rubber Packed Interlock Hose Applications

Galvanised Steel Rubber Packed Interlock is suitable for a range of exhaust, material transfer, ducting and protective applications where flexibility and enhanced leak-tightness are required.

Typical applications include:

  • Engine & Generator Exhaust Systems – suitable for exhaust systems within the automotive and power generation sectors
  • Pneumatic Transfer Lines – suitable for transferring powders, pellets, grains and other bulk materials in industrial plants or transport vehicles
  • Flexible Ducting – suitable for ventilation, air extraction and fume control where enhanced leak-tightness is required
  • Protective Sheathing – suitable for protecting cables, sensor wires or hydraulic lines in environments subject to vibration, impact or heat
  • Hose & Assembly Liners – can be used as a liner within other hoses or corrugated hose assemblies to provide additional abrasion resistance or act as a bend restrictor
