Flexible Metal Hose Assembly: 1/4 in Hose Inside Dia., 5 in Dynamic Min. Bend Radius (In.)

These corrugated metal hoses have a 316 stainless-steel inner hose with a 304 stainless-steel braided cover (or outer hose). 316 stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance and is ideal for industrial chemical-processing applications. 304 stainless steel can be sanitized. It can withstand corrosion from most oxidizing acids but is susceptible to corrosion from chloride solutions or from high-saline environments like coastal regions.

Corrugated metal hoses (also known as jacketed hoses) are ideal for conveying products that need to be heated or cooled during transfer. They are used in asphalt and hot-mix plants and the food, beverage, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. These hoses consist of a flexible inner metal hose enclosed in a flexible metal outer hose (or jacket). Fittings on the ends of these hoses prevent any material that is being conveyed through the inner or outer hose from moving into the other hose. This allows the inner and outer hoses to be used to convey different materials. For example, steam or hot oils can be circulated through the outer hose to keep viscous material in the inner hose warm and fluid.
