Polyurethane Spiral Hoses

Our spirals are superior to the competition because we start with our 98 Durometer, Shore A tubing. This gives our spirals improved "memory," allowing the hose to retract faster and better than softer durometer hoses. Sagging and tangling is minimal, and kinking is virtually eliminated. A harder durometer also provides a smoother bore for better airflow, better abrasion resistance, and a longer service life. Polyurethane spirals feature a compact, space-saving design versus nylon coils, and with a smooth, 90° transformation from coil to tail, it makes it more ergonomic for the user.

Spiral Hose Terminology:

Total Length- This will be the total length of the tubing before spiraling.
Working Length- Also known as Service Length . Defined by how far the spiral will stretch. Working length in standard spirals is approximately 80% of the total length. In Strong spirals, working length is approximately 60% of the total length. We are able to quote spirals by working length if you know how far you need the spiral to stretch from point A to point B. We are also able to quote by the number of turns.
Tail Length- Tail length dimensions are included in both total and service length dimensions. If necessary, we can quote compressed coils and add tail lengths to arrive at your requirements.
Coil ID- Our coil ID is determined by the size of the tubing being spiraled. This ID is small enough to allow the spiral to retract and prevent it from sagging while still providing optimum air flow without flattening the tubing.
Coil OD- Determined by Coil ID and OD of the tubing to be spiraled.

ATP offers the following types of spiral programs:

Stock Spirals- Just what the name says...shipped within 48 hours of your order.

Standard Spirals- Dimensions that have become industry standards. Available in fractional                            and metric.

Strong Spirals- An ATP Exclusive. A special manufacturing process allows us to create                        spirals with a much smaller coil ID than our standard spirals. For use in                        rugged, demanding environments such as automotive assembly lines.

Strong Plus Spirals- Ergonomics, Safety, Finished Surface Protection. Do we have the spiral                               for you! Find out for yourself why we call this the "Ultimate" spiral.

Custom Spirals- We have created our "Market Niche" by specializing in customized sizes,                          lengths and colors to suit individual needs without requiring huge set-up                          charges or minimum runs.
