The AMT Pump discharge hose assembly is made of blue PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for resistance to mildew and mild alkalis and acids, and is suitable for a wide range of water discharge applications in conjunction with a compatible dewatering pump. Its lay-flat design facilitates storage, and its woven nylon reinforcement provides the strength to maintain its maximum pressure rating. This hose assembly can withstand temperatures ranging from 15 to 150 degrees F and comes with a factory-installed aluminum male National Pipe Straight Hose (NPSH) coupling on one end and a factory-installed brass female NPSH coupling on the other. It is suitable for water drainage and discharge in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.Industrial hoses and hose assemblies transfer or convey air or liquid in hose systems. When selecting industrial hoses or hose assemblies, use the STAMPED method to help determine the type of hose needed:S= Size (ID, OD, and length)T= Temperature (maximum and minimum temperatures of material being transported)A= Application (industry or process)M= Material (to be conveyed, type and concentration)P= Pressure (maximum working pressure)E= Ends (type of end connectors or couplings on hose)D= Delivery method (volume and velocity)The inside diameter of the hose must be adequate to keep pressure loss to a minimum and avoid damage to the hose due to heat generation or excessive turbulence. The hose must be capable of withstanding the minimum and maximum temperatures that occur within the hose system. Some applications require specialized oils or chemicals to be conveyed through the system. In this case, hose selection must ensure compatibility of the hose tube, cover, couplings and O-rings with the fluid used. Industrial hoses and hose assemblies are used in systems such as air compressors, automatic manufacturing operations, aircraft controls, and tire installation in industries including agriculture, mining, road construction, firefighting, and aviation.American Machine and Tool (AMT) manufactures centrifugal and diaphragm pumps. The company is headquartered in Royersford, PA.
