Warning:  Gladiator® is rated at 20 HG (about 75% vacuum) but will actually pull a full vacuum when new. Repeated collapsing of the hose by twisting, kinking, etc., creates a “soft spot” that reduces vacuum capabilities, even though the hose rebounds to its original shape.

Note: All SaniGard® product pressure ratings are shown at ambient temperature (68°F). As temperatures increase, working pressure and vacuum ratings will decrease. Contact factory for recommendations for assembly applications that exceed 200°F.
