PITTSBURGH, PA – November 7, 2016 – Goodall® has announced the DuraCrimp® coupling system is now available with Thermoflex steam hose.
Lewis-Goetz, an ERIKS company, and its subsidiaries are the exclusive distributors of Goodall® products. Jeremy Lloyd, North American product manager for Lewis-Goetz, said that Goodall® steam hoses and the DuraCrimp® coupling system work together to minimize hose maintenance costs without sacrificing safety and durability.
“Steam is a critical application in the refining and petrochemical industries,” Lloyd said. “But working with steam can be costly and dangerous. Goodall® steam hoses are made with superior compounds, enabling them to last three times longer than average hoses and exceed a burst pressure test of more than 2600 PSI. Through Goodall® hose and crimping products, we’re able to provide a complete solution for steam applications, and we guarantee a safe, leak-free connection.”
The DuraCrimp® coupling system is an exclusive and innovative crimping system for the next generation of Goodall® steam hoses. Featuring a bolt-free connector, the DuraCrimp® coupling system eliminates steam leakage found with bolted clamps and failure risks associated with loose or warped bolts. The ergonomic system provides a permanent connection and long service life, while reducing installation time and preventing hose kinking.
Thermoflex steam hoses by Goodall® are specially developed for use in petrochemical and chemical refineries. Covered in smooth EPDM rubber, Thermoflex hoses offer excellent abrasion, weather, and ozone resistances, while high-tensile steel wire braided with brass-plated wire provides reinforcement and corrosion resistance.
The Goodall® factory in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada, is certified to couple all Goodall® steam hoses with DuraCrimp® fittings. Goodall® has built up a substantial inventory of ¾-inch x 50-foot Thermoflex assemblies with male-to-female, female-to-female, and male-to-female DuraCrimp® fittings installed in order to be prepared for the upcoming steam season. Contact Bruce Stevenson at bstevenson@goodallhoses.com for details.

September 9, 2016 – These are trying times in industrial distribution. An ongoing industrial products recession that started when oil prices began their plunge in the summer of 2014 continues to grip the entire sector, putting a strain on distributors and suppliers alike. Many thought conditions would have improved by now, and certain signs say they have. But several prominent distributors say meaningful recovery is still a ways away.
In a post-earnings conference call in early July, MSC Industrial CEO Erik Gershwind discussed an overall pessimistic view across the market, saying that previous notions of industrial recovery “has given way to more belt tightening and less optimism among our customers. He went on to mention hearing more talk about “furloughs, time off and even some layoffs, among distributors and suppliers alike. Likewise, Fastenal’s Q2 fiscal report mentioned that though Q1 showed some signs of economic improvement, it expected plant shutdowns and slowdowns to continue into the third quarter.
