New High Pressure Waterblast Hose Provides the Highest Level of Operator Safety

Power management company Eaton (UK) has launched the new Safeshield EC910 high pressure waterblast hose. This engineered hose is designed to ensure the highest levels of safety in settings where workers are performing non-polluting industrial cleaning, stripping and removal of corrosion, paint, chemical and organic residues.

“With pressures high enough to meet even the most stringent waterblast applications, the Safeshield EC910 hose is the latest in Eaton’s long line of high-quality waterblast hose assemblies,” said Ulrich Ammer, product marketing manager, Eaton. “This next generation hose performs at five times the industry impulse cycle life requirement, demonstrating Eaton’s dedication to reaching the highest levels of reliability and operator safety.”

Capable of withstanding operating pressures as high as 1100 bar (16,000 psi), EC910 meets exceeds the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 7751 requirements. It is constructed with heavy steel wire reinforcement, featuring Eaton’s highly abrasion resistant Dura-Tuff hose cover, providing excellent flexibility, long service life and ease of handling in the field.

EC910 is available in sizes -08, -12 and -16, approved for working pressures from 1100 bar to 690 bar (16,000 psi to 10,000 psi), respectively, with a burst factor of 2.5 times the normal working pressure. Eaton waterblast hoses are assembled by professionally trained Eaton personnel to ensure the highest quality available. Safeshield EC910 hoses are also available in 15m (50 foot) and 20m (66 foot) lengths, with the following qualified hose fitting styles: male NPTF, DKO, and BSPP. Furthermore, Eaton also offers related adapters to connect multiple lengths of EC910 hose assemblies.
