TRANSFLEX Gimbal Joint Suction Hose is used with universal joints or gimbals which constrain hose movement in two planes. This provides controlled bending with problems of overstressing eliminated. Available in up to 40-in. I.D., the Gimbal-type suction hose features imbedded welded steel rings for maximum compressive strength and flexibility. The smooth bore design features use of highest quality rubber lining, resistant to abrasion and cuts. The heavy-duty neoprene cover is impervious to sunlight, salt water, and oil.
