Tigerflex Solarguard WST-SLR Series hose is a heavy duty PVC fabric reinforced suction and discharge hose with high UV resistance. The specially formulated hose material resists the cracking that can result from exposure to damaging UV light. According to Kuriyama, when tested, Solarguard material retained 97% of its original tensile strength after prolonged UV exposure. The high tensile strength polyester yarn jacket handles both suction and higher pressure discharge applications.
