Bioflex Ultra - Model RC-300 -Rubber Covered 300mm Long End Protection
In applications where excessive flexing of the hose at the end fitting occurs, it is sometimes necessary to ‘stiffen’ the hose in this area, to prevent kinking.
A layer of rubber is applied and vulcanised directly to the ferrule, and 300mm (12 inch) along the hose from the fitting. This can be done either on an SS braided hose (RC-300) or on a rubber covered hose to form a 300mm (12 inch) long double layer of rubber at the end (DRC-300).
The rubber used is normally Blue EPDM, but if the hose is BK, or SI covered, then the same type and colour of rubber would be used (DBK-300 or DSI-300).
Cannot be applied to PB braided hose. If required for a PB hose, consult Aflex Hose for an alternative “EPR” system. (EPR includes a 300mm (12 inch) length of loose rubber hose jubilee clipped to the ferrule).
