Orange Polypropylene Elastomer Hose for Vacuum Lifting Equipment
The Flexadux TR L-Vac is a specialty hose built for vacuum lifting equipment, constructed from an orange polypropylene elastomer over a spring steel wire helix. The construction is engineered specifically for the suction demands of vacuum lift systems — strong enough to hold vacuum under load, flexible enough to move freely with the operator, and lightweight enough to avoid fatigue on long shifts. The high-visibility orange color helps operators track the line on busy shop floors.
Where the L-Vac Fits
This hose is purpose-built for vacuum lifting equipment used in glass handling, sheet metal lifting, stone and slab handling, and any manufacturing process that uses vacuum cups or pads to move material. If the job is moving product with a vacuum lifter, this is the hose that keeps the lift reliable.
Choosing the Right Size
Match the inside diameter of the hose to the inlet on your vacuum pump or generator. Most vacuum lifting systems run 1"-3" ID hose, but the right size depends on flow requirements and the number of lift points served. On length, allow enough reach to cover the full work envelope of the lift without stretching or kinking at the pump connection. Order a bit more than the straight-line distance so the hose can flex naturally as the operator moves.
Medium weight orange polypropylene elastomer hose reinforced with both a plastic and a spring steel helix.
Features:
• Vacuum lift tube fits most vacuum lift equipment
• Encapsulated high tensile steel wire provides longer life than traditional neoprene PVC wrapped constructions
• Ideally suited for use in environments requiring frequent wash downs
• Available with factory-installed heat welded cuffs for easy clamping & an air tight seal
