Niedner Reeltex Hose with Red Encap
Details
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.
