Rubber Hose Bends

Rubber Hose Bends

Hose bends are designed for sharper bend radius applications created by limited space. The correct liner and pressure rating, with an additional liner on the outer arc, can cost-effectively increase the bend's lifespan. These high-performance hose bends are used extensively in mining, and marine applications throughout Africa, including South Africa.
