Hose Products

Hose and couplings are essential to many industrial processes and for the operation of much of today’s equipment. Advances in technology have dramatically changed what modern hoses and couplings are made of and the performance that is expected of them. Today’s hoses are made of many types of materials such as PVC, metal, rubber, teflon and more. These new materials and advances in hose and fitting construction have raised the bar for what hose assemblies can endure.

Hose assemblies are used to convey all types of media, from air and water to oils and acids to fruit juices and chemical vapors to abrasive dry materials. They are expected to perform flawlessly in many environments from subzero to hundreds of degrees F. Working environments may be highly abrasive, twisting and flexing applications, highly corrosive conditions, or pulsating and vibrating situations.

D&W has aligned with the top manufacturers in the hose and coupling industry. We offer the newest products and have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in inventory to have the products you need when you need them. Our hose technicians have extensive field experience and are trained and certified by Boston’s rigorous certification program.

D&W has the training, the equipment and the products to address your varied hose and coupling needs. Let us help you with your hose needs in any of the following areas:

Hydraulic also includes air brake, air conditioning and other medium to high pressure hoses.
Material Handling refers to the wide range of dry media moved through hoses.
Chemical includes environmental hoses (e.g., septic, hazmat, construction).
Food Grade and Petroleum are specific to these products.
General Purpose covers air, oil and water service.
Special Applications include our product offering of steam, high pressure sewer jet and other very specific use hoses.
Fitting & Valves includes couplings and adapters, etc.

It's easy to get the hose you need when you choose D&W as your hose supplier.

When specifying and fabricating hose assemblies ask the following questions:

S.T.A.M.P.E.D.

Size	What is the overall length of the assembly required? Inside and outside diameters of each end?

Temperature	What is the temperature range of the media (product) that is flowing through the hose assembly? Of the environment that surrounds the outside of the hose assembly?

Application	How is the hose assembly actually being used? Is it a pressure, suction or gravity flow application? Are there any special requirements that the hose assembly is expected to perform? Is the hose being used in a horizontal or vertical position? Are there any pulsations or vibrations acting on the hose assembly?

Media	What is the media (be specific) that is flowing through the hose assembly?

Pressure	What is the maximum pressure including surges (or, maximum vacuum) that this hose assembly will be subjected to?

Ends	What couplings has the user requested? Are they the proper fittings for the application and hose selected?

D&W	D&W reminds you that all hose assemblies should be viewed as potential hazards. The proper selection of quality components, combined with recommended attachment procedures, proper use and maintenance are imperative. Safety is everyone’s concern.
