Discover Flexible & Easy to Use Rubber Products
The varieties of hoses available are seemingly infinite, as are their applications. Don’t hesitate to contact us with questions about any specific application you might be looking for!
Types of Hoses
Rubber hoses: flexible and easy to route. With the right fittings, rubber hoses offer strong resistance to vibration.
Metal hoses: highly resistant to heat damage and can handle more extreme levels of pressure. Our metal hose manufacturers lead the industry in wall thickness without compromising flexibility, allowing for greater longevity, durability, and resistance to corrosion.
Hydraulic hoses: specifically used to convey hydraulic fluid. Flexible and usually reinforced, hydraulic hoses operate at very high pressures.
Industrial Uses
We supply hoses suited for refueling, safe and clean water transfer, steam cleaning, compressed air transfer, and more. Some of our clients’ industries include beverage preparation and distribution, railcar maintenance, general machine construction, and pharmaceuticals.
Rubber & Specialties, Inc. provides more than just a product; we provide service. Included with your purchase is after-hours on-call assistance, custom labeling on hose assemblies, hose assembly pressure testing and certification, same-day shipping on most stock orders, and more.
