Air Lift Pneumatic Hose - 3/8" DOT Synflex
DOT Synflex refers to a range of pneumatic hoses and tubing manufactured by Eaton, specifically designed to meet DOT (Department of Transportation) certification standards in the United States. These hoses are widely used in pneumatic applications for road vehicle braking systems, including trucks, buses, and trailers.
Key Features of Synflex DOT Hoses:
-
DOT Certification: Synflex hoses comply with FMVSS 106 DOT standards, ensuring their suitability for road pneumatic braking systems.
-
Material:
- Made from nylon or specialized thermoplastic materials, offering excellent resistance to pressure, abrasion, and weather conditions.
- Resistant to chemicals, oil, and fuel.
-
Temperature Range: Designed to operate in extreme conditions, often from -40°C to +93°C (-40°F to +200°F).
-
Rated Pressure: Withstand high pressures required for pneumatic braking systems.
-
Flexibility: Their thermoplastic construction makes them easy to install, even in confined spaces.
-
Durability: Resistant to wear, vibrations, and UV rays.
Applications of DOT Synflex Hoses:
-
Pneumatic Braking: Interconnections between air tanks, valves, and brakes in air braking systems.
-
Industrial Applications: Also used in other pneumatic systems requiring high reliability.
-
Trailer Systems: Synflex hoses are often chosen for connections between tractors and trailers.
