Armor Casing - the most popular and durable of all the cover options. Anti-kink Armor Casing features all stainless steel construction, will NOT restrict flexibility - but will lock up therefore not allowing the hose to exceed minimum bend radius. Armor Casing is so durable that, if installed, several hose styles will be factory warranted for up to one year. (Consult Inside Sales for details). Armor Casing, guards against kinking, protects the hose braiding from abrasion, protects operators hands from abrasion due to its smooth outer surface, and in the event of a high pressure catastrophic hose failure, contains all "shrapnel" thereby limiting the potential for injury AND prevents the hose from whipping. Can be used for end cuffs too! Prevents the hose from kinking at the end fitting.

Silicone Firesleeve - The ultimate in high temperature protection! A fiberglass sleeve with silicone rubber cover for flame and heat resistance. Not only protects against external hazards, but will insulate hot media from operators touch, reducing the chance of injury. Firesleeve and Armor Casing together make an unbeatable combination!

PVC Cover - again, this cover is good for applications where the braid must be covered. This option is less expensive than the silicone alternative. It does not have the temperature resistance, but has superior abrasion resistance to silicone. (Shown)

Silicone Cover - perfect for covering stainless steel braid where a smooth OD and cleanliness are necessities. Features all of the benefits and properties of silicone: flexible, smooth, temperature and chemical resistant.

Heat Shrink - Another smooth alternative to the stainless braid exterior of Fluoropolymer lined hose styles. Heat shrink in Fluoropolymer or Polyolefin material offer an inexpensive solution. Excellent for color coding too! (Shown)

Chafe Sleeve - this is an additional Kynar® or polypropylene braid that allows no additional pressure retention, but does offer a good abrasion resistant barrier between the hose and rough surfaces.

Rubber Cover - Integra Companies can add a rubber cover to just about any hose style for additional chafe, abrasion, or chemical resistance. Several compounds available (CPE, EPDM and Hypalon)

Cover options will vary by hose style.
