Fuel HoseEngineering Features for Field Operations
Through-the-Weave One-Piece Construction
The hose is manufactured with a unique through-the-weave design, combining circular-woven high-tenacity polyester reinforcement with a fully encapsulated polyurethane cover and lining to ensure consistent structural integrity.
Bonding Wires for Fuel Transfer
Integrated bonding wires conforming to MIL-PRF-370 Type C enable electrically bonded couplings during fuel transfer operations, supporting safe handling of fuels.
High Flexibility & Kink Resistance
The hose follows natural ground contours without stressing the pipeline. Its flexibility minimizes the need for path cutting while reducing joint count and connection time.
Fast Deployment and Retrieval
Long continuous lengths can be rapidly deployed and retrieved using flaking boxes, light-duty trailers, or power-driven reels, supporting quick field setup and recovery.
Extreme Durability
High-quality materials provide superior abrasion resistance, and long-term coiled storage has minimal impact on hose life, making it suitable for extended military storage cycles.
