A high-pressure mud hose also called a rotary hose, vibrator hose or jumper hose, is used to convey drilling fluid from the mud pump to the mud standpipe manifold on the drill floor. It is available in bore sizes from 2" to 6" and up to 120 ft. length. To meet different requirements on the market, API end fittings such as NPT thread and flange and other specified fittings are supplied. Mud delivery hoses are lined with a specially compounded synthetic rubber tube and cover. They have excellent resistance against abrasion and corrosion from oils.
