Niedner Reeltex Hose with Red Encap

Niedner Reeltex Hose with Red Encap

A unique single jacket hose designed for use on hose reels, without the weight of traditional hard rubber hose, REELTEX® handles easily and is an excellent choice for CAF system use.

It is made of 100% polyester construction, with helical reinforcement, and red ENCAP™ treatment. Initially designed for wild land use, REELTEX® may be used in other applications but may have limitations that should be taken into consideration. When using REELTEX® with foam eductor systems, normal hose lay limits may change.

• The hose shall be a single jacket construction of 100% virgin spun polyester, combined with a special helical interior reinforcement.
• There shall be a minimum of 12.5 filler yarns per inch in the jacket.
• The thickness of the lining shall be 0.030" (762 μm) minimum and it shall be constructed of lightweight extruded T.P.U. elastomer.
• The outside jacket shall be treated with red ENCAP elastomer which shall completely encapsulate the jacket fibers and not merely surface coat the jacket.
• The hose service temperature range shall be -60°F to 140°F (-50°C to 60°C).
• The REELTEX® exterior can melt at 500°F (260°C) and burn at 550°F (287°C).
• FM abrasion test of 15,000 cycles minimum.
• At 600 PSI (4200 kPa), its elongation shall not exceed 8% of the initial hose length, it shall not warp more than 20 inches (51 cm) and should not rise from the test table.
• The hose shall not twist more than 18 turns per 100 ft (30,5 m) while at 600 PSI (4200 kPa).
• Minimum service test pressure of 300 PSI (2100 kPa).
• Minimum proof test pressure of 600 PSI (4200 kPa).
• Minimum straight burst test pressure of 1800 PSI (12600 kPa)
• The hose while curved to a radius of 27" (69 cm) shall not burst at less than 1800 PSI (12600 kPa).
•  ¾” REELTEX has a field repairable coupling with a 1” outlet
