Abstract 1. A method of making reinforced flexible tubing comprising the steps of: feeding an elongated tape about a tube forming guide to form a series of spirally wound tape convolutions having overlapping side portions; adhesively securing together said overlapping side portions after the first one of said convolutions is first formed; continuously feeding an elongated reinforced wire on to the outer surface of said tape inwardly of the opposite overlapping side portions thereof after said first tape convolution is so formed; continuously feeding an elongated wearstrip in place over said reinforcing wire; and adhesively securing said wearstrip on to said outer surface of said tape.
