TFT Introduces Leakproof Hard Suction Coupling

Task Force Tips introduced a hard suction hose coupling with a patent-pending polymer seal that allows the hose to flex without leaking. After extensive testing of the new design, TFT is so confident that it is offering a five-year warranty.

The new V-Seal flexes without leaking to prevent air entrainment and loss of prime during drafting operations. The combination of a lightweight hose with the new coupling and seal allows a single person to cradle the end of the hose with one hand and spin the coupling tight with the other.

Other improvements to the hose include a special material formulation that resists discoloration when exposed to sunlight. In addition, all the aluminum coupling parts are hardcoat-anodized to resist oxidation and wear.
