Hosefloats 160
Hosefloats, an industry standard for the floatation of hoses, conduit and cables for dredging, mining and marine applications.
An easy to install solution that allows pipes to bend and flex, while maintaining low resistance to waves, wind and current.

Hosefloats Bushes
Preparation of a Hosefloat Bush is
simple 2 step process:
Firmly secure the bush to a drill press
1.) Using a hole-saw kit, drill a hole to the pipe diameter first
2.) Using a saw cut the bushes in half using the cut grooves
For safety, use a:
1. Drill press
2. Band saw
EPDM Rubber Bushes
Hosefloats bushes are made from EPDM rubber, a type of synthetic rubber. It’s main properties are heat, ozone and weather resistance. It is also resistant to polar substances and steam, with excellent electrical insulating properties and resistance to ordinary diluted acids and alkalines.
