In the petrochemical and refinery sectors, every minute of downtime counts — and unplanned outages can cost millions. During maintenance turnarounds, safety and speed are critical, especially when dealing with hydrocarbon drain applications. That’s where R/W Connection delivers trusted hose solutions engineered for performance, durability, and immediate availability.
Turnarounds Demand Hydrocarbon Drain Hoses You Can Depend On
Hydrocarbon drain hoses operate in some of the harshest industrial environments. During refinery or plant shutdowns, these hoses must safely handle hot hydrocarbons, oils, light chemicals, and high-temperature steam under pressure. A single failure in these conditions could halt operations and endanger personnel — which is why reliability and compliance are non-negotiable.
