Underhill launches two new Featherweight hoses

 

Underhill recently released the Featherweight UltraMax and the Featherweight ProLine, two lightweight hoses based on technology from the firefighting industry.

The Featherweight UltraMax hose is 1-inch with NPSH threads used for golf courses. Underhill says the hose has a special outer fabric that is kink-resistant and will not scuff the turf on golf greens. The hose has a working pressure rating of 300 psi and a burst pressure rating of 1200 psi.

The company says the new Featherweight UltraMax weighs about a third of what normal professional hose does.

Underhill decided to bring this same technology to sports fields with the release of their Featherweight ProLine. The ProLine version features a 800 psi burst pressure and 200 psi working pressure. The Featherweight ProLine comes in three-fourths inch diameter and weighs less than 12 pounds for a 100-foot hose.
