APFOS: Stainless Steel Overbraided PTFE Hose

White PTFE Core; Smooth or Convoluted I.D.

Stainless steel braided PTFE hose is constructed of virgin material with a 300 series stainless steel wire braid reinforcement jacket. The fluoropolymer core is inert and offers long flexural life, low permeability, non-flammability, and the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid material. The stainless steel braid permits higher pressure uses, reduces the possibility of kinking, and generally protects the core. Optional silicone jacketing offers protection from high temperatures during handling and keeps the outer surface clean and smooth.

KEY FEATURES

True Bore PTFE Smooth Core offers maximum flow; Convoluted Core offers excellent flow with enhanced flexibility
Stock sizes for True Bore Smooth Core: 1/4 in. through 1-1/2 in.; Convoluted Core: 1/2 in. through 3 in.
Hose liner meets FDA 21 CFR 177.1550, ISO 10993 Sections 5, 6, 10 and 11 and is made from USP Class VI compliant material
General temperature range: -100°F (-73.3°C) to 450°F (232.2°C)
Excellent chemical compatibility
Resists moisture
Easily cleaned or sterilized by autoclave, steam, or detergent
Optional silicone jacketing makes stainless steel reinforced hose easier to handle by offering heat protection
Silicone jacketing also provides a smooth outer surface to eliminate particle entrapment for sanitary conditions
Full line of crimp fittings and custom assemblies offered
Custom lengths, sizes, other overbraiding materials, special cleaning, and/or packaging is available
Add stainless steel armor casing or cuffs for an extra layer of protection from crushing, kinking, harsh environments, and abrasion while still allowing flexibility
Laser-etched stainless steel collars for hose identification available
