PRODUCTS / INDUSTRIAL HOSE / VACUUM TRUCK HOSE / HEAVY-DUTY ABRASION SUCTION HOSE
APPLICATION
Heavy-Duty Abrasion Suction Hose
Lightweight, full-vacuum abrasion suction hose for cement, sand, gravel, grain, and fertilizer transfer

PARAGON BR180 is a lightweight, flexible suction hose engineered for extreme abrasion service. The smooth SBR-blended rubber tube (with static carbon black) handles cement, sand, crushed rock, gravel, grain, fertilizer, and similar dry abrasive media on vacuum trucks and bulk-recovery systems. The rigid PVC clockwise helix delivers full-vacuum stiffness while keeping the hose noticeably lighter than steel-wire-reinforced alternatives.
Vacuum rating up to 29.8 in.Hg. Working pressure ranges from 40 PSI (2" ID) down to 28 PSI (10" ID). Operating range −40°F to +140°F. Stocked in six sizes from 2" through 10" ID; cam-lock-fitted assemblies available on request.
CONSTRUCTION
SBR abrasion-resistant suction hose with rigid PVC helix

TUBE
Black smooth abrasion-resistance SBR-blended rubber with static carbon black
