The new Waterblast series is backed by a long history of hose design and manufacture.
With continued attention to details such as flexibility, light weight and durability, Dunlop Hiflex produces the Waterblast range in four pressure series with a safety factor of 2.5:1 in line with RMA (USA), BFPA (UK) and DIN (Germany) standards.
