Armor Casing - Stainless Steel Hose Covering to Protect Process Hoses

Armor casing, manufactured from durable stainless steel, provides a protective covering for hoses. Intended to encase rubber or stainless steel overbraided hose, Armor Casing prevents hoses from kinking while still allowing flexibility. It is used on hoses typically found in the food, beverage, diary, chemical, and cosmetic industries as well as other process applications.

KEY FEATURES

Protects rubber-covered or stainless steel overbraided hose of fluoropolymers and other interior rubber materials such as EPDM
Guards against harsh environments and rough handling
Durable, segmented construction allows flexibility as it prevents kinking
Protects exterior hose surfaces from abrasion
Crush-resistant — adds a layer of protection against compression damage
Provides an added degree of safety in cases of interior hose failure
Fits hoses ranging in size from 1/2" to 2" I.D.
Works in conjunction with stainless steel crimp rings for secure attachment to hose assemblies
Crimp rings offer a smooth, burr-free finish
Use Armor Casing along the entire length of a hose or Armor Cuffs at the ends only to reduce stress and kink potential at fitting connections
Ready-to-install hose assemblies complete with Armor Casing can often be fabricated in a few days
