Application guide
Heavy-duty abrasion resistant suction and discharge hose
flexVAC™ 180 AR is the heavy-duty abrasion-resistant SBR material-handling option. It provides strong suction capability in a broad size range, but it does not contain a hose-grounding wire.
Medium-duty wet & dry material remote hose with grounding wire
flexVAC™ lite U Boom ST provides a polyurethane liner, static-dissipating construction and a copper grounding wire for abrasive recovery. It is the lighter boom-hose option and is not food grade.
Heavy-duty abrasion resistant wet and dry material handling hose
flexVAC™ U Boom ST is the heavy polyurethane-lined boom hose for demanding wet and dry abrasive recovery. Its static-dissipating construction and copper grounding wire support the defined severe-duty role. It is not food grade.
High temperature abrasion resistant suction hose
Use for: Elevated temperature.
flexVAC™ 180 HR is the elevated-temperature EPDM material-handling option. Its published temperature range extends to 220°F, and its grounding wire must be connected as part of the complete system.
Notes: The primary progression is for normal-temperature roof vacuuming and abrasive debris recovery. Elevated-temperature service uses the separate alternative listed under Products.
STKBLITE and STKB remain suction/low-pressure choices. Their application names do not authorize operation above the published rating at the selected diameter.
Warning: Verify roof-debris temperature and the vacuum limit for the selected diameter. Exclude flexVAC™ 180 AR when a hose-grounding wire is required. Correctly terminate, bond, ground and test the selected wire-equipped assembly as part of the complete roof-vacuum system.
