Gates Nylon Sleeves provide excellent abrasion resistance to protect individual hoses, or they can be used to bundle several hose assemblies together for maximum protection. Reduce downtime and maintenance costs. These Nylon Sleeves are unique because they form an extra protective layer against abrasive forces. Specifically, thousands of tiny Nylon filaments, woven into the texturized yarn, "friz" into a self-renewing shield that is extremely resistant to severe abrasion. This nylon sleeving has MSHA flame-resistance approval.
