An electric current-carrying fluid hose construction and method of making same are provided and such hose construction is comprises of at least one elongate polymeric strip (24) having a central body (25) of solid cross section which has at least one electrical conductor (22) embedded therein and with the strip having first (26) and second (27) projections extending from opposite side portions (30, 31) of the central body (25) as a single-piece construction and, the strip is wound in a helical pattern with its projections (26, 27) connected to define the hose construction with the central body (25) having at least one outwardly convex arcuate surface (33) comprising the outwardly convoluted configuration (21) and having a substantially flat surface which comprises the substantially smooth inside surface (23). Alternatively adjacent strip edges may be connected by a U-shaped connector strip. <IMAGE> |
