Notes

VARDEX, with its steel wire reinforcement coil, is speciallysuited for applications where resistance to kinking is of primary importance.A proprietary construction technique employed during the manufacture ofVARDEX permits full vacuum capabilities (29.9 in./Hg.) for all sizes withouthose collapse.

Constructed of corrosion-resistant PVC, VARDEX can beused to transport various chemicals in areas with tight turns and sharpbends. Its bend radius is approximately four times the I.D.

For easy identification, VARDEX is imprinted with thetrademarked name.

Metric sizes, repetitive cutting, and bonding are availablethrough minimum order; lead times may apply -- call for details. Samplesof stock material are available upon request.
