Niedner Reeltex Booster Hose 3/4" x 50'

A unique single jacket hose designed for use on hose reels, without the weight of traditional hard rubber hose. REELTEX® handles easily and is an excellent choice for CAF system use. It is made of 100% polyester construction, with helical reinforcement, and red ENCAP treatment. Initially designed for wild land use, REELTEX® may be used in other applications but has limitations that should be taken into consideration. When using REELTEX® with foam eductor systems, normal hose lay limits may change. Note reel diamter minimum requirements in chart below. Patent No. 2168497.
