Tigerflex
TDH™ Series
Tigerdrop™ Clear, “See-the-flow” Drop Hose
GENERAL APPLICATIONS
- Tank truck gravity drop fuel transfer
CONSTRUCTION
Polyurethane (TPU) tube with polyester fabric reinforcement, rigid PVC helix and embedded grounding wire.
SERVICE TEMPERATURE RANGE
-40ºF (-40ºC) to +140ºF (+60ºC)*
*Actual service temperature range is application dependent.
FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES
- Biofuel Compatible – Revolutionary polyurethane compound! Specially designed to handle gasoline, ethanol**, diesel and biodiesel** — and still keeps all the other great features and benefits!
- Non-permeable polyurethane construction – won’t swell or become stiff like conventional TPR/rubber hoses. Long life reduces operating costs.
- Lightweight – much lighter than conventional TPR/rubber hoses.
- Superior flexibility – especially in sub-zero weather!
- “See-the-flow” construction – for visual confirmation fuel is flowing.
- Durable Construction – Designed with high tensile strength polyester yarn fabric reinforcement.
- Grounding Wire – Durable multi-strand copper wire dissipates static electricity. Physically extract wire from the rigid helix and bond to the metal coupling (or by other means) to ground.+
- Easy Slide Helix – Rigid counter clockwise helix design protects hose tube from cover wear; allows hose to slide easily over rough surfaces.
