Ultra-Lite SuperBraid® Air Hose Reduces Operator Fatigue


Ravenna, OH - Ultra-Lite Superbraid® polyurethane air hose from Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, creates efficiencies for customers through its lightweight, non-marring and no-recoil characteristics.  This polyurethane air hose is 29% lighter than equivalent thermoplastic air hoses and 63% lighter than rubber air hose making it ideal for roofing and hand-tool applications.  With the no-recoil feature, the hose will lay out flat even in sub-zero temperatures making it easy to work with.  And the non-marring urethane jacket will not damage or scratch finished surfaces such as paint and furniture. 



Ultra-Lite Superbraid® utilizes a strain relief that allows the hose to bend freely without kinking at the fitting.  Standard sizes range from 1/4" to 3/8" I.D and this product is available from the Parflex division in Ravenna, Ohio.  Custom sizes and colors are available upon request.
