DRAFTEX® 

An extremely lightweight suction hose, the DRAFTEX® single jacket construction uses 100% spun polyester combined with a helical interior reinforcement. It is lined with TPU elastomer and encapsulated with red DRAFTKOTE to enhance durability. With a service test pressure rating of 300 PSIG (2100 kPa) DRAFTEX®  is designed for Forest Service use with portable pumps as well as other pump applications. Patent No. 2168497.

Length: Up to 20' (6,1 m).

Jacket Treatment: DRAFTKOTE™ encapsulation (red). Provides a measurable increase in abrasion resistance as well as resistance to acids, oils, chemicals and salt water.
