Gates Corporation, a leading manufacturer of industrial and automotive products, today announced the addition of Longhorn® MegaFlex® petroleum transfer hose to its full line of advanced industrial hose products. Bending at a one-to-one ratio, or 1in of minimum bend radius per inch of hose I.D., the flexible, lightweight hose is ideal for the transfer of refined fuels such as commercial gasoline and diesel, oils and other petroleum products.
In addition to its lightweight specially formulated tube material, the petroleum transfer hose features durable construction to match the rugged operating conditions and rough handling of tank truck, fuel farm and oil field service truck applications. The transfer hose's high flexibility makes it suitable for use in confined spaces and around obstacles in industrial equipment and helps decrease overall assembly length.
Longhorn MegaFlex hose is easy to carry, store, connect and disconnect, resulting in fewer worker injuries caused by the heavy, rigid hoses handled and maneuvered by workers. It also delivers long service life.
