Tube Heavy-gauge EPDM, 50% thicker than the competition. Neoprene which has a higher permeation rate than This reduces permeation and increases service life. EPDM so more product passes through the tube.
Adhesion between Goodall provides up to a 35% greater adhesion rate than Lower adhesion rates increase the risk of premature tube, braids, and cover other products, this also increases the hose service life failures due to cover separation and delimitation.

Q:Sometimesaresidueformrings
orconesonthecoverofmy
AnhydrousAmmoniahose.Theylook
likewhitespots.Whatcausesthese
toappearandwhatarethey?
A: Goodall-produced Anhydrous Ammonia
hoses have a minimum of eight (8) rows of
evenly spaced pin pricks. The pin pricking
is a safety requirement. These pin pricks
allow the trace amounts of Nh3, that
permeate through the tube, to readily
escape harmlessly through the cover.
Hose that has been improperly pricked
or not pricked at all, will blister and
eventually blow out. This is caused by
the Nh3 becoming trapped between
the layers in the hose. The only draw-
back to pin pricking is the appearance
of the hose after use. As the Nh3 weeps
through the pricking it comes in contact
with the atmosphere and may form white
or brownish residue rings or cones. The
amount of dust and relative humidity in
the air can vary the color and consistency
of this residue. Contrary to the belief that
this residue indicates a problem, it is your
assurance that this built-in safety feature
is, in fact, working properly.
Q: MystainlesssteelbraidedAnhydrous
Ammoniahosehasballooned(mush-
roomed)outbehindthecoupling.
Whyisthishappening?
A: The occurrence described above is referred
to as “basketing”. It is a result of the
thermal expansion of trapped product in
the hose. By design, the over-pressure in
the hose causes the hose to expand in a
controlled fashion, predominantly behind
the coupling, instead of a catastrophic hose
blowout. Thermal expansion occurs when
product remains or leaks out of a shut-in
hose assembly and is then allowed to
“heat” in the sun. Very high pressures occur
as the black hoses heat in the sun. Hose
assemblies should always be emptied before
storage and downstream valves should be
checked for fastness regularly. Hydrostatic
pressure relief valves should also be checked
for correct operation.
Q: CanIusebrassfittingsoradapters
onAnhydrousAmmoniahose?
A: No, Anhydrous Ammonia aggressively
attacks brass and will corrode it almost
immediately.
FAQS
Warranty Period for Agricultural Applications*
ForNewlyManufacturedHose:
N1446: Super Long Life 10 Years
N2595: Rifleman 8 Years
N2000: Century 2000 6 Years
* Warranty applying to industrial or continuous applications is free of defects due to workman-ship and/or quality for one (1) year. Warranty only valid when coupled by authorized Lewis- Goetz locations. Customer misuse or abuse voids this warranty.
Goodall Anhydrous Ammonia hose is sold only in coupled assemblies.
NEW HOSE:
1. Make sure you have the correct hose.
All Anhydrous Ammonia hose will be
strip branded, stating that the hose is
for Anhydrous Ammonia, the working
pressure, the name of the manufac-
turer, and the month and year the
hose was made.
2. Make sure the couplings are properly
attached. After the hose is charged
with ammonia, check that the
couplings are secure and that they
have not moved.
3. Make sure that the new hose is free
from cuts, gouges, and imperfections.
Visually check and run your hand
down the entire length of hose,
checking also for soft spots.
4. Never secure the coupling in a vise
when attaching valves.
5. We strongly recommend the replacement
of all relief valves at the time of new
hose installation.
6. If any of the above conditions should be
present, remove the hose from service.
USED HOSE: (hosethatiscurrentlyinserviceorhasbeencarriedoverfromthepreviousyear)
1. Hose should be removed from the nurse
tanks before winter and stored in a cool,
dry place, preferably away from heat and
any motors that are operating. The best
position to store a hose is to hang the
hose in a vertical position from the
shoulder of the coupling. This relieves
stress on the hose. The hose will be out
of the way so as not to be damaged by
people walking on it or trucks driving
over it, or merchandise piled on top of it.
Storing the hose inside prevents the
damaging rays of the sun from ruining
the hose.
Care & Maintenance of Nh3 Hose
2. Hose should be checked in the spring as
a new hose for the proper identification
and to assure you that you are using an
Anhydrous Ammonia hose.
3. The Anhydrous Ammonia hose should be
checked each time the hose is used, or
at least daily, checking for: movement of
couplings, cuts, gouges, and cracks in the
cover, and soft spots, checked by running
your hand down the entire length of
the hose.
4. Should any of the above imperfections
appear, the hose should be removed
from service immediately.
5. Also refer to industry recommendations
on care and maintenance
as detailed in RMA
publication IP 11-2.
Visual and Manual Inspection Should be Done Daily
