Thermoplastic hose is lighter than rubber hose (up to 40% less) Thermoplastic hose offers superior abrasion resistance (typically outlasts rubber by 10 times) Thermoplastic hoses are UV-stabilized and are more weather resistant than rubber hose. The o.d.’s on thermoplstic hose are smaller than the o.d.’s of rubber hose. This compact design allows for easier routing...Continue Reading
