PRESSURE RATING: ELECTRICAL CONTINUITY: Code 541-432
Available in electrically continuous or discontinuous Code 541-718
Available in electrically continuous or semi-continuous Electrically continuous hose has an electrical resistance less than 0.75 ohms/meter Electrically discontinuous assembly has an electrical resistance more than 25,000 ohms per assembly at 500 VDC Electrically semi-continuous assembly has an electrical resistance at 500 VDC between 1,000 to 20,000 ohms per assembly
MINIMUM BEND RADIUS: The hose will retain its shape under a bend radius of four times the hose diameter when empty or full. In the event the hose gets kinked, it will recover its shape without permanent damage to the hose.
