Earl's Speed-Flex Hose is now available with black PVC coating (hose sizes 3, 4, and 6). The smoke PVC coating has also been added to the size 3 hose. The PVC coating provides improved appearance and abrasion resistance as compared to the standard stainless braid. Although the coating color is new, the hose is Speed-Flex and has all the same features, benefits, and durability that customers have counted on for many years.
