The Series

700 Hose is the newest member ol the Enerpac family.

With a 4:1 safety factor at 10.000 psi, it's the best connection available for demanding applications, particularly those lnvolving high cycling at high pressure. Heavy-duty design with lour layers. Rugged polyamide inner core is covered with a double ayer of high tensile steel wire, v/hich in lurn is encased In braided, high iensile vrire. Durable polyurethane jacket on outside assures long life and maximum abrasion resistance. Practical construction: Exhibits low volumetric expansion undet' pressure to enhance overall syslem.efliciency, even 0ver long distances.
