Series 7286C is a compact, slim profile hose designed for long-lasting steam service—one of the toughest applications for hose, where the hot-cold/wet-dry cycling attacks rubber compounds externally as well as internally. The hose construction incorporates premium, high-performance chlorobutyl in both the tube and the cover, providing extreme heat resistance, durability, performance and service life. The wire braid reinforcement provides crush-resistant durability, kink resistance and a path to conduct a static electrical charge to ground, and the cover resists abrasion, cracking, hardening and ozone. Series 7286C is qualified with Parker non-skive crimp couplings for easy and quick assembly fabrication as well as maintenance-free service.
