Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BOSTON from 3G Electric.
What materials are BOSTON hoses typically made from?
BOSTON hoses are constructed from materials such as nitrile, vinyl nitrile, rubber blends, and neoprene. The covers can be made from vinyl nitrile, natural rubber, or corrugated nitrile blend, depending on the specific hose model and application. These materials are selected for their resistance to abrasion, oil, and weather, making them suitable for industrial environments.
What is the maximum working pressure for BOSTON Easy Couple hoses?
BOSTON Easy Couple hoses, such as the nitrile bulk air hoses with vinyl nitrile or neoprene covers, are rated for a maximum working pressure of 300 psi at 70°F. This pressure rating applies to models with inside diameters of 3/8 inch, 1/2 inch, and 3/4 inch, as specified by the manufacturer.
What temperature ranges do BOSTON water suction and discharge hoses support?
BOSTON water suction and discharge hoses with vinyl nitrile cover and wire helix reinforcement, such as those with part numbers H119624-20-AB150 and H119624-20-ALCE, have a temperature range of -20°F to 180°F. This range allows for use in both cold and moderate-temperature water transfer applications.
Are BOSTON hoses available in pre-assembled lengths?
Yes, BOSTON hoses are available as pre-assembled lengths. For example, the water suction and discharge hose assemblies come in 20-foot lengths, and the petroleum hose assemblies are available in 100-foot lengths. 3G Electric supplies these assemblies globally, with logistics support for delivery.
What applications are BOSTON material-handling hoses designed for?
BOSTON material-handling hoses, such as the rubber blend bulk material-handling hose with natural rubber cover, are designed for transferring bulk materials like grains, powders, and aggregates. These hoses have a 5-inch inside diameter, a working pressure of 75 psi, and a temperature range of -40°F to 158°F, making them suitable for heavy-duty industrial use.
