StayPut Hose
Description
StayPut flexible hose is a PVC material helix which combines flexibility of movement with the ability to hold its position once set. One end is attached to exhaust ducting, typically by rivets or other fasteners and silicone is used to create and airtight seal. “Locking” the hose into the desired position is achieved simply by rotating the free end of the hose in a clockwise direction.
Key Features and Benefits Quick Summary
Product Details:
- Flexible, helix-wound hose that can hold a fixed position by tightening the helix.
- PVC material, excellent resistance to most acidic and caustic compounds
- Variable diameter of ≈ ±15mm can be achieved by rotating the helix, clockwise or anti-clockwise.
- Lightweight hood of suitable diameter can be attached to the free end of the hose
- Can be supported with hangers, clamps, gripple wire, etc.
- Bend radius is 2.5 x hose radius
Available sizes (manufactured diameter) :
- 80mm x 2 metre length
- 100mm x 2 metre length

Applications:
- Excellent for extraction applications where no/ insufficient integral dust extraction ports are available, i.e. drill presses, scroll saws, lathes, powder decanting, fume exhaust.
- Ideal for connecting existing ducting to machine outlets of a smaller diameter.
- Can be installed from above, below or at the extraction/ machine level
