Beneficial Features of Breathing Air Hoses and Tubes at Crushproof Tubing
There are many advantages of buying breathing air hoses from us:
- Our breathing air hoses are available in flame retardant material, making them suitable for various extreme applications where most hoses will fail.
- Diverse material options allow us to use the right blend for your application.
- We can do assembly of different components that connect to the hose.
- We can meet NATO AEP54 and NIOSH CBRN standards for mustard and sarin gas applications.
- Our rubber hoses have a crushproof design, which means they will not break if they are hit, compressed, or even driven over.
- Special cuff sizing is one of the major advantages offered by our tubes and hoses. This means they will easily fit different connectors and couplings on each side, cleanly, snugly, and securely. No more rough, awkward, and unprofessional looking connections, which can put the end user at risk.
- Great lead times! Average for production runs is three to four weeks. Custom samples ship in about a week!
- Our stretch hoses are provided in 1:4 compressed to stretch ratio, which improves their flexibility.
- We can provide tubes with thin or thick walls, short or long, and in diameter sizes ranging from 3/8ʺ to 6 ʺ in any of our materials.
- No tooling charges for the vast majority of custom projects, and they are minimal if we do need to charge them.
- Our breathing air hoses and tubes can be easily decontaminated as they remain unaffected by sterilizing agents. Rubber tubes can be autoclaved as well.
- Our custom samples are made with our production material and tooling, so your ordered product will be exactly like what you have reviewed and tested.
