THE BASIC SHAPE OF THIS BALL AND SOCKET DESIGN IS KEY TO THE LOC-LINE SYSTEM. The tapered skirt design of Loc-Lines allows full articulation of the ball without cutting off any of the flow as do round skirt designs.
Loc-Line is designed for low pressure applications. Maximum pressures for the hose system vary with the length of the hose, the diameter of the selected nozzle, and the bending angles. The following specifications are recommended for all Loc-Line products. LINE PRESSURE & FIOW RATES:
1/4" System 30 - 50 PSI 250 Gal / Hour 1/2- System 20 - 30 PSI 478 Gal / Hour 3/4" System 10 - 20 PSI 1,140 Gal / Hour TEMPERATURE SPECIFICATIONS: Melting point: 329°F Maximum operating temperature: 170°F
Please note that all applications have variables and conditions that will affect the maximum hose pressures. Testing is always recommended whenever possible.
