Snap-Tite XLF hose

POLYURETHANE LAY-FLAT HOSE

Battlefield tested and oilfield perfected, the HydroXtreme™ LDH hose is purpose-built to exceed the expectations of today’s oil and gas environments, tackling fracking and dewatering applications with ease. The one-piece construction of the hose cover, reinforcement and liner uses no adhesives. It is encapsulated with high-performance polyurethane—which is guaranteed against liner delamination for added durability and value. Built for extreme conditions, the XLF is weather, abrasion and crack resistant with operating pressures of up to 200 psi (1379 kPa) and manufactured with NSF Standard 61 approved materials, HydroXtreme is simply the industry-best solution for fluid delivery and transport.


Snap-Tite AG

LAY-FLAT NITRILE RUBBER HOSE

Engineered for long-lasting performance in the field, AG hose features an exclusive thru-the-weave liner and nitrile rubber construction, making this rugged hose incredibly durable, with superior abrasion and puncture resistance—which is critically important for main feeder line functionality. Its rubber composition keeps AG light enough for easy deployment and retraction, making it the go-to hose for tackling demanding agricultural applications.


Snap-Tite ATX hose

HIGH PRESSURE EXTRUDED NITRILE RUBBER ATTACK/SUPPLY HOSE

ATX delivers superior performance under pressure. Manufactured in a similar process as the TPX, the heavy-gauge ATX utilizes a 3-ply design where the cover and liner are extruded independently and are double vulcanized to guarantee a consistent, compact hose wall. The polyester reinforcement is woven tighter, making this hose more resistant to puncture while also being easier to pack and store. Its stronger jacket increases the service test pressure of the LDH sizes to 300 psi (2068 kPa).


Snap-Tite HFX Hose

EXTRUDED NITRILE RUBBER ATTACK/SUPPLY HOSE

Maneuverable. Packable. Dependable. HFX’s nitrile thru-the-weave, rubber covered hose design utilizes both polyester and nylon 6.6 yarn in the reinforcing jacket. Under pressure, the polyester keeps the hose from “snaking” where the nylon allows for controlled dilation, reducing friction loss and generating higher flow rates. A special rubber compound creates a tough cover that resists heat, abrasion, snags and hot embers, giving you complete confidence on the fireground.


Snap-Tite HFX LDH

EXTRUDED NITRILE RUBBER ATTACK/SUPPLY HOSE

Maneuverable. Packable. Dependable. HFX’s nitrile thru-the-weave, rubber covered hose design utilizes both polyester and nylon 6.6 yarn in the reinforcing jacket. Under pressure, the polyester keeps the hose from “snaking” where the nylon allows for controlled dilation, reducing friction loss and generating higher flow rates. A special rubber compound creates a tough cover that resists heat, abrasion, snags and hot embers, giving you complete confidence on the fireground.


Snap-Tite IR Hose

EXTRUDED POLYURETHANE HOSE

Built to last, the rugged IR hose is constructed of 100% high tenacity yarn, extruded with thru-the-weave polyurethane for incredible strength and long-lasting performance. The liner and cover meet minimum 3000 psi tensile strength. IR is capable of withstanding exposure to most hydrocarbons, gasoline, oils, alkalis and grease with no effect on performance. Factor in its portability, easy storage and long service life and it’s clear to see why IR is regarded as the leading irrigation line in the field.


Snap-Tite UTX Hose

ENHANCED FLOW AND VISIBILITY ON THE FIREGROUND
LARGE DIAMETER POLYURETHANE SUPPLY HOSE

UTX LDH is the ultimate fighter, delivering maximum flow and high-test durability in a high-visibility, lightweight supply line. Engineered with a rugged polyurethane thru-the-weave construction, this high-performance hose delivers superior abrasion and puncture resistance while remaining extremely light and durable, making UTX the optimum choice for a service worthy supply line.


Snap-Tite LD Hose

EXTRUDED NITRILE RUBBER FIRE HOSE

Durable, dependable and better by design. LD is the high-end nitrile rubber covered fire hose manufactured using a unique process which permanently bonds the nylon 6.6 reinforcement to the nitrile rubber cover/liner. The benefits: LD is an easily coiled, non-kinking, high-flow, lightweight hose that also resists abrasion, chemicals and weathering by ozone. Extruded thru-the-weave construction means no adhesives—and therefore no delamination for a longer service life.


Snap-Tite AD Drag Hose

EXTRUDED POLYURETHANE HOSE

Snap-tite’s AD (Heavy Duty Ag Drag) hose is the first agricultural slurry application hose purposely built to address the four major failure modes of a standard performance drag hose:


Snap-Tite TE Hose

EXTRUDED POLYURETHANE HOSE

The solution for potable water transfer: Lightweight and durable, TE is manufactured of circular woven polyester fabric completely encapsulated by polyurethane elastomer that is forced thru-the-weave. It is ultra-compact and is offered in diameters up to 6″ (150 mm), in typical coupled lengths of 50′ or 100′ or in single lengths to 660′ (200 meters). The dependable TE is weather, abrasion and crack resistant; is capable of operating pressures up to 225 psi (1550 kPa) (not all sizes); and is made of NSF/ANSI Standard 61 approved materials, allowing it to be used for potable water.


Snap-Tite TM Hose

EXTRUDED POLYURETHANE HOSE

From fuel transfer to potable water, the TM hose is engineered to military-grade quality standards to perform in the field. Smarter by design: 100% high tenacity yarn, extruded with thru-the-weave polyurethane creates a strong yet lightweight hose that also resists snaking for superior productivity. The liner and cover rate at minimum 3000 psi tensile strength. Also available with an optional encapsulated anti-static discharge wire.


Snap-Tite TPX LDH

3-PLY NITRILE RUBBER ATTACK/SUPPLY HOSE

Lean and mean, TPX is the ultra-tough municipal rubber fire hose—but without bulk and weight. Traditionally manufactured extruded hose can vary in thickness, becoming bulky and heavy. TPX’s unique 3-ply design features a ribbed cover and smooth nitrile liner that are extruded independently. The cover is inserted inside the tight-weave polyester reinforcement, vulcanized, then turned inside-out. The liner is then inserted and the hose is vulcanized a second time to form a bond of all three plies, guaranteeing a consistent, compact hose wall. This makes the lightweight TPX more resistant to puncture and easier to pack and store, requiring less hose bed space than typical extruded hose.


Snap-Tite TPX Hose

3-PLY NITRILE RUBBER ATTACK/SUPPLY HOSE

Traditionally, manufactured extruded hose can vary in thickness, becoming bulky and heavy. TPX utilizes a 3-ply design where the ribbed cover and smooth nitrile liner are extruded independently. The cover is inserted inside the tight-weave reinforcement, vulcanized, and then turned inside out. The liner is then inserted and the hose is vulcanized for a second time to form a bond of all three plies, guaranteeing a consistent, compact hose wall. The Snap-tite TPX is highly resistant to both conductive and radiant heat.


Snap-Tite TS Hose

EXTRUDED POLYURETHANE HOSE

Designed to move sludge quickly and efficiently, TSX/TS is smarter by design: 100% high tenacity yarn extruded with thru-the-weave polyurethane creates a strong hose that also resists snaking for excellent flow and superior productivity. Both the TSX and TS have the industry’s all around best durability with its high burst pressure rating and high tensile strength giving you the reliability you require to get the job done.


Snap-Tite TSX Hose

EXTRUDED POLYURETHANE HOSE

Designed to move sludge quickly and efficiently, TSX/TS is smarter by design: 100% high tenacity yarn extruded with thru-the-weave polyurethane creates a strong hose that also resists snaking for excellent flow and superior productivity. Both the TSX and TS have the industry’s all around best durability with its high burst pressure rating and high tensile strength giving you the reliability you require to get the job done.


Snap-Tite XXH AG Supply Hose

LAYFLAT NITRILE RUBBER HOSE

The Slurry Hose is manufactured out of 100% high tenacity yarn, extruded thru-the-weave nitrile rubber construction. This means a hose manufactured to be durable and resistant to chemicals, ozone, abrasion, and puncture. This Slurry Hose is also manufactured to have a wide temperature range. This hose is designed to move slurry quickly and efficiently all while giving you the reliability you require to get the job done.
