Loc-Line® Modular Hose

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.

Features

• Loc-Line's unique ball and socket design is fully hand adjustable in both position and length.
  
  
• Bending doesn't decrease the inside diameter and it won't kink or fatigue like copper tubing.
  
  
• Unlike metal hoses, Loc-Line won't damage machine tool cutters if contact occurs.
  
  
• Loc-Line is electrically non-conductive. It is ideal for use as an EDM flushing hose.
  
  
• Loc-Line has no internal positioning rod that can break or restrict fluid flow.
  
  
• Repeated positioning is easy and it will stay in position with-out any springback. Creep due to machine vibration is eliminated .
  
  
• All Loc-Line products are made in the U. S. A.
  

Loc-Line continues the original adjustable hose concept by offering three hose diameters (1/4",1/2" & 3/4"), manifolds, valves, and a large choice of nozzles and fittings including the new 1/4" Swivel Nozzles proving, adjustability only just started with our original concept.

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.
