In a factory, the job of the line determines the hose: hydraulic circuits of stationary machinery, hot zones, in-plant air and water, and general-purpose lines carrying detergents or chemicals. Gates lists a separate product for each of these lines.
All of the hoses below are in our range. We have briefly noted the application Gates gives for each; call for sizes and prices.
