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^TM 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. Note reel diameter minimum requirements in chart below. Patent No. 2168497.

Length: ľ” and 1” (18 and 25 mm) available in lengths up to 100’ (30,5 m). 1 1/2" (38 mm) size available in lengths up to 50 ft (15,2 m) only.

 

	The hose shall be a single jacket construction of 100% virgin spun polyester, red ENCAPTM treated, combined with a special helical interior reinforcement.
	There shall also be a minimum of 12.5 filler yarns per inch in the jacket.
	The thickness of the lining shall be 0.028" (711 µm) minimum and it shall be constructed of lightweight extruded T.P.U. elastomer.
	The outside jacket shall be treated with red ENCAPTM 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 hose’s 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 PSIG (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 9 turns per 50 ft (15,2 m) while at 600 PSIG (4200 kPa).
	Minimum service test pressure of 300 PSIG (2100 kPa).
	Minimum proof test pressure of 600 PSIG (4200 kPa).
	Minimum straight burst test pressure of 1800 PSIG (12600 kPa).
	The hose while curved to a radius of 27" (69 cm) shall not burst at less than 1800 PSIG (12600 kPa).
	Meets or exceeds NFPA 1961 specifications.
