The UTX™ LDH Hose
UTX™ LDH
UTX™ is a tough lightweight extruded thru-the-weave hose. Its polyurethane material provides greater resistance to punctures and abrasion, while the thru-the-weave liner guarantees a lifetime warranty against delamination. UTX™ is compact and durable while providing higher resistance to oils, chemicals, and ozone.
