Dry Food Hose | McMaster-Carr

Move flour, grain, rice, sugar, and other dry food through your line. This hose meets strict FDA standards for food safety or 3-A standards for a sanitary design. Made of PVC, it won’t impart odors or tastes on the food. A smooth interior prevents the food from getting caught or building up inside this hose. It's also clear, so you can monitor the food as it passes through the hose. This hose is sturdy enough to be used as part of vacuum system—it won’t collapse when hooked up to a vacuum pump. The spiral reinforcement on the outside increases the hose's flexibility.

Hose with a static control wire creates an escape route for static buildup when used in a grounded system. The wire runs through the spiral, so it won't be exposed as the hose wears.

Dry-Food Hose with Cam-and-Groove Socket and Plug

Temperature Range: 0° to 150° F
Material: PVC
Color: Clear
Specifications Met: 3-A Certified 62-02, FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1680, FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.2600

Transfer flour, grain, rice, sugar, and other dry food through lines connected by cam-and-groove fittings. This hose meets strict FDA standards for food safety and 3-A standards for a sanitary design. Made of PVC, it won’t impart tastes or odors on food products. Its interior is smooth, so food won't get caught or build up inside the hose. When vacuum is applied, this hose holds its shape and won't collapse. The spiral reinforcement on the outside increases its flexibility. To connect fittings, insert the plug into the socket and push the levers down.

Hose with static control wire provides an escape route for static buildup when used in a grounded system. The wire runs through the hose’s spiral, so it won’t be exposed if the hose wears.

Clear-View Abrasion-Resistant Dry-Food Hose

Temperature Range: -40° to 150° F
Material: Polyurethane Rubber with PVC Spiral
Color: Clear with Black Spiral
Specifications Met: FDA Compliant 21 CFR 175.105, FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.2600
Compatible Hose Fittings: Cam-and-Groove

Made of polyurethane, this hose lasts more than twice as long as PVC hose when moving abrasive dry food. It resists cutting and tearing almost as well as gum rubber hose. You can monitor your line since it's clear. FDA compliant, it’s safe for direct contact with food. The smooth interior prevents flour, grain, rice, sugar, and other foods from getting caught or building up inside the hose.

To keep you safe from electric shock, a static control wire runs through the spiral, creating an escape route for static buildup when used in a grounded system. The wire is embedded in the spiral, so it won’t be exposed as the hose wears. This hose is sturdy enough to be used with a suction pump to draw dry food. The spiral reinforcement on the outside increases the hose's flexibility.
