Stainless steel braided hose with thread nipples

Stainless steel braided hose is a corrugated stainless steel hose with external stainless steel braiding. It is commonly used in high temperature or highly corrosive applications where a rubber hose is not suitable. It is also popular in permanent piping installations and short lengths (jumper) in potable water, cooling, steam, or other liquid applications where a rubber hose does not provide enough flexibility or a long enough service life (rubber and plastics will degrade when subject to the elements). Our standard is the SS304 or SS316 hose with the SS304 single braided reinforcement (also available in double braided mesh cover). The braided mesh acts as a reinforcement to increase pressure ratings and prevent elongation - it is not designed to withstand dragging or abuse. It is also available with no reinforcement for vacuum or drain lines. In order to reduce the chance of failure, stainless steel braided hose cannot be "twisted / torqued" or flexed on more than one plane - special care must be used during installation. Also, when flow velocity exceeds a certain value, resonant vibration can occur in hoses and lead to premature failure (increasing the hose diameter or use of a liner can combat this problem). If vibration is severe, contact us for application information.
 

1. High physical strength together with light weight.
2. Suitable for wide temperature ranging from -200℃ to 500℃.
3. Anti-corrosive properties since its fully in SS, resistance to fire, moisture, abrasion and penetration.
4. Absorbs vibration and noise from pumps, compressors, engines etc.
5. Compensates for thermal expansion or contraction of piping.
6. A flexible and quick alternative for rigid piping in difficult location.
