Suction Hose with Steel Nipple

A dredging suction hose with steel nipple ends, designed for drag arms, cutter ladders and dredge pump inlet lines under vacuum and pressure conditions.

Product Overview

A dredging suction hose with steel nipple ends, designed for drag arms, cutter ladders and dredge pump inlet lines under vacuum and pressure conditions.

Product Detail

The hose is designed for negative pressure service in suction lines and can also withstand positive pressure according to project requirements. Steel nipple fittings provide reliable flange connection for heavy-duty suction applications.

Features

  • Designed for suction service with vacuum resistance
  • Steel nipple ends for robust connection
  • Good wear resistance and flexibility
  • Suitable for dynamic bending on drag arms or cutter ladders
  • Can be customized for combined vacuum and pressure requirements
