- Molded construction: EPDM tube, synthetic fiber knit reinforcement, and a heat-, ozone- and chemical coolant-resistant EPDM cover.
- Resists collapse: specifically-engineered materials resist collapse under vacuum.
- Electrochemical resistance: engineered to resist electrochemical degradation, the leading cause of hose failure.
- Pre-shaped fit: molded to fit and help ensure a properly sealed connection.
Meets the requirements of SAE 20R4 class D2 and DIN 73411 class A (except for tolerances), with a rated temperature range of -40°F to +257°F (-40°C to +125°C).
