Hoses

All Jetting Technologies Parker Hannifin TOUGHJACKET

Parker Hannifin TOUGHJACKET water blast hoses, distributed by All Jetting Technologies, are designed to eliminate the need for an additional PVC sleeve and reduce the hose weight by up to 16%. This allows for ease of handling, improved productivity and reduced operator fatigue. They have polyurethane jackets, are tested to DIN EN 1829-2 standards and exceed the abrasion resistance and durability of standard PVC-covered assemblies by more than 100%. ColorGard technology means the primary hose jacket is a different color than the abrasion-resistant WJTA-compliant colored outer jacket to provide easy visual identification of abrasion issues, allowing for efficient inspections and reducing unscheduled downtime. 772-286-1218; www.alljetting.com
