Today, Linatex group of companies provide a growing range of industrieswith cost effective performance solutions. The products illustratedin this catalogue represent part of the comprehensive hose rangemanufactured by Linatex worldwide. Our sales engineers are availableto provide solutions to your specific requirements.

Hose End Types

Beaded (Swivel or Rotating Flange) End

These ends are designed as an alternative to fixed flanged ends due to theability to rotate the backing flange. Beaded end hose has the advantage

of ease of alignment of the bolt holes and the ability to rotate the hose toevenly distribute wear, without removing the flanges from the adjoining pipe.

An angle iron hoop is built into the end of the hose to form the beaded end.

Inbuilt Standard or Inbuilt Expanded Coupling

These type of couplings are built into the hose during manufacture. InbuiltStandard Couplings are a high performance assembly with excellent reliabilityin dynamic applications.They are used mainly in oil and non abrasive miningand chemical applications. Expanded Couplings are a fully rubberised inbuiltexpanded coupling that are available in beaded or flanged configuration,Expanded Couplings are mainly used in dredging and high performance /pressure slurry applications. The rubberised end has the advantage in highlyabrasive applications.

The Inbuilt Coupling tail piece is adaptable to various fittings, includingvictaulic, rotating, fixed flanges and propriety couplings.

Flanged Ends

These ends are recommended for hoses that havelow working pressures and subject to low stressesduring application.

The rubber and fabric reinforcement of the hosebody is extended to form a full face flange.Thisrubber and fabric flange is backed by a full circle

or split ring metal backing plate.

Hose End Types

Muff Coupling

An externally fitted two piece coupling designed for the miningindustry. Refer to page 14 for full details of the muff couplingrange of fittings and hose available.

Plain End

This type of hose end is the most common. It is the end usuallysupplied with stock hoses.The hose is simply cut to length, withno special treatment or finish to the cut end.The cross section ofthe hose is exposed, including wire if used in the reinforcing.

Cuffed End

This type of hose end has the wire reinforcing stopped at apredetermined distance from the end of the hose to allow easierclamping of fittings.The length of the cuff is normally the sameas the inside bore diameter unless otherwise specified.

Raised Cuff End

As with the cuffed end hose the raised cuff end has the wirereinforcing stopped and has a belled end to give a full boreunrestricted flow when combined with internal fittings.Theinside diameter and the length of the raised cuff should bespecified at the time of order.

Swaged End

This is a permanent premium method of attachment. Internalswaging is used in all industry types where a full flow, highpressure fitting is required. Special features can be customisedfor protecting the hose and fining junction.

Inbuilt Nipple

An Inbuilt Nipple is where a steel end is built into the hose alongwith rubber and reinforcement during the hose manufacturingprocess to provide full integration with the hose body. Thenipple can be supplied with screwed thread for attachment offittings, or can be shouldered or grooved to suit various clampsystems.

Diamond Muff Couplings

Linatex Diamond D801 Muff Couplings save you both time and money.Designed for use in the mining, construction and quarrying industries, LinatexDiamond D801 Muff Couplings eliminate the need for made-to-measure rubberhose that can take weeks to deliver, as both Linatex Diamond D801 Muff Couplingsand Hose are readily available from stock.

Linatex Diamond D801 Muff Couplings are manufactured from high gradecast aluminium alloy which offers the user both light weight and excellentcorrosion resistance. Cast Iron couplings are also stocked with other materialsof construction available as needed. Table 'D' flange drilling is supplied asstandard however other drill patterns can be accommodated at short notice.The pressure rating of the fitting and hose is standardised to the pressureslisted on page 14 irrespective of the flange drilling requested.

Linatex Diamond D801 Muff Couplings are manufactured in standardsizes to suit 75mm to 300mm inside diameter hose with other sizes

being available on special request. All Linatex Diamond D801 MuffCouplings have a rated working pressure which is the same as Linatex

D801 Hose. This ensures Total' compatibility when the two productsare used together.

Linatex Diamond D801 Muff Couplings are specifically designedk to give exceptional grip on the hose, without damaging the

cover, and the couplings are reusable.

Assembly

Attaching the couplings to Linatex Diamond D801Hose is an easy process that can be carried out onsite. First ensure the hose ends are cut 'square', thenplace the couplings over the hose so that the hoseprotrudes past the flange face by 2 - 4mm. Boltthe couplings together using the bolts supplied,leaving a gap of approximately 2 - 4mm betweenthe two halves.
