• FlareLok Hoses: These hoses have been widely used in industrial and vehicle exhaust removal systems for decades due to several benefits that they offer. Made of solid EPDM rubber, they can withstand ozone, harmful UV rays, thermal cycling, as well as harsh chemicals. These hoses have flared ends, thus the name. Unlike several other exhaust hoses, FlareLok hoses can be connected easily to increase their lengths without using a splice connector. The normal end of the second hose can screwed into the flared end of the first hose to increase the length.
  The durable construction of these hoses makes them suited for all types of service environments where these hoses may be exposed to abusive elements. The construction of these hoses makes them ideal for overhead, underground, and out-the-door exhaust systems. These hoses can withstand temperatures up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit if used with a fan assisted system.
  
  Available Options: These hoses are 11′ long and are available in 2″, 2.5″, 3″, 3.5″, and 4″ inner diameters.
• ACT Hoses: These garage exhaust hoses are designed for vehicles with large tailpipes and stacks such as buses and diesel trucks. ACT garage exhaust hoses are generally offered in solid rubber models, which makes them durable, flexible, and heat resistant. These hoses are also available with wire reinforcement to avoid kinking for applications where tighter bends may be required. They can withstand temperatures up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit if used with a fan assisted system.
  
  Available Options: These hoses are offered in 11′ lengths, with 4″, 5″, and 6″ inner diameters. 20’ lengths are also available with 4” and 5” inner diameters.

  Available Options: Telescopic hoses are provided in lightweight and heavy-duty designs.
  
• High Temperature Hoses: Made of high-quality materials, these hoses can easily withstand high temperatures ranging from 750o F to 2000o F when they are used with fan assisted systems. Also, these hoses can withstand repetitive bending and coiling.
  
  Available options: These hoses are available multiple lengths and inside diameters. Please call for details.
  
• SuperFlex Hoses: These hoses have accordion-type designs, which contribute to their flexibility. These hoses can withstand temperatures up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit if used with a fan assisted system. SuperFlex hoses possess no reinforcements, yet they can withstand tighter bends. These hoses can be used with connectors and overhead elbows, but are not ideal for stack or tailpipe adapters.
