Series 7204 is an extremely versatile hose designed to handle air, mild chemicals, oil, refined fuels such as biodiesel (to B20 in dedicated and non-dedicated service), diesel, ethanol and gasoline, saturated steam and water. The hose construction incorporates a premium grade tube especially suited for high temperature materials such as hot asphalt, glue, oil, tar and wax to 300°F continuous/350°F intermittent (149°C/177°C). The high tensile wire braid reinforcement provides durability, kink resistance, high pressure capability and superior coupling retention, and the cover is resistant to heat, oil and weathering. Series 7204 is also designed for saturated steam applications at temperatures to 368°F (187°C) and pressures to 150 psi (10.3 bar). The tube resists popcorning and oil-based detergents and rust inhibitors found in steam systems.
