PolySleeve hose wrap protects hoses from chaffing, rubbing, crushing, ultraviolet rays and other hazards that cause hose failures. It can be an easy and economical way to protect equipment, reduce downtime, improve sighting and improve overall appearance. PolySleeve can be installed easily – even after the hose assembly or assemblies are in place. The edges are rounded, so installers won’t cut their hands. It is offered in either black or yellow in a full range of sizes.
This product is made of heavy-wall, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and has a wide temperature range. At -40°F (-40°C) it starts to become somewhat brittle, and at +280°F (+130°C) it starts to become soft. After temperature is normalized, PolySleeve returns to its original state quickly. PolySleeve is made with an anti-static material, so it won’t build up a static charge.

I have some hoses in my garage, and this seems like a nice investment to protect them better. It seems like my hoses usually go bad within a year or two, so it would be nice to improve their lifespan a bit. It’s also nice to see that the installation is easy for this. Thanks for sharing.
