PRODUCT PROFILE
recommends the hoses not be left in direct
sunlight for extended periods of time and
explains the inside of hoses need to be kept
dry, adding that hoses should be used regularly in warm, humid climates to purge
water build-up from the interior.
The weight of the hose sections and how
the hose sections will be stowed should also
be considered by ground handling crews to
make sure the hoses remain free of tears and
punctures.

materials to make the hose as durable
as possible. The air insulated hose units
continue to be deployed at locations with
extreme climates because of its ability to
self-purge accumulated water."
Since the launch of their own PCA hoses
19 years ago, Kuster says that AmCraft
Manufacturing has been making steady
upgrades to their products. Insulation materials have been changed three times and the
hoses' exterior material options have been
expanded twice. What's more, zipper and
Velcro configuration options have grown
three times.
Hoses range in length from 1 foot to 50
feet and come in diameters of 4 inches and
18 inches - and a wide selection of adapters,
elbows and diameter reducers are available
in any inner diameter combination.
AmCraft Manufacturing also produces
smaller diameter hoses of 4 inches, designed
for military aircraft.
"The two main products are the
wire-supported PCA hose and the lay flat
PCA hose. Both product lines offer various
insulation levels and hose sections to build
a wide range of hose configuration options,"
adds Kuster.
The PCA hoses are composed of four
main parts: The inner liner, the outer liner
(or skin), the insulation between the two
liners, and the coupling system, also known
as the cuffs.
"The inner liner, the insulation and the
outer skin form a tube and there is a cuff
on each end of the tube to couple them to
other tubes," Kuster explains.
Operating temperatures of the hose are
between -40 degrees F up to 165 degrees F.
Kuster says the most important factor to
consider before buying a PCA hose is the
climate they are going to be used in. Kuster
