Entire hose length cured in one operation.

A.	Extruded seamless tube.
B.	Seamless reinforcing braids of synthetic textile wire, or other material- applied by high speed vertical or horizontal braiders.
C.	Rubber layers between braids establish positive bond between braids when vulcanized.
D.	Extruded, seamless cover.

Advantages: Flexible. High resistance to kinking. Cover either smooth or wrapped. Available in long continuous lengths. Excellent tensile strength.

TYPE 2: Spiral Hose Built by machine with either textile or wire cord reinforcement applied so that each ply is laid at a given angle for maximum dimensional stability.

A.	Extruded or calendered tube.
B.	Reinforcement of synthetic textile wire or other material.
C.	Rubber layers between reinforcement plies to establish positive bond.
D.	Cover.

Advantages: Extremely flexible. Smooth bore, uniform tube. High strength with long length capability.

TYPE 3: Hand Built Spiraled Ply Hose
