Crush-Resistant Duct Hose for Liquids
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: 5290K and 9020T Series: -20° to 140° F; 5200K Series: 20° to 140° F
Step on this hose without causing damage. It is for use with water and chemicals such as citric acid.
Hose with fittings attached lets you connect to pumps, vacuum systems, and other equipment.
Suction Water Hose with Threaded Fittings
- Temperature Range: -10° to 130° F
- Maximum Vacuum: 28" of Hg @ 72° F
- Material: PVC
- Color: Clear or Green
- Female Fitting Swivels Until Tightened
Remove accumulated water from pits, loading docks, and other flooded areas with this general purpose suction hose. Made of PVC, it's lighter than rubber hose, so it's easier to handle. It has a spiral reinforcement to avoid losing its shape when hooked up to a vacuum pump. The interior is smooth for obstruction-free flow. Since the female fitting swivels until tightened, you can thread it without moving and twisting the entire hose.
Clear hose lets you monitor flow.
Wet-Food and Beverage Hose with Quick-Clamp Sanitary Fittings
- Temperature Range: -15° to 155° F
- Maximum Vacuum: 29" of Hg @ 72° F
- Material: PVC
- Color: Clear with White Spiral
Transport milk, syrup, meat, and other wet food and drinks through lines secured with quick-clamp sanitary fittings. This hose is FDA compliant, so you know it's safe to use with food and beverages. Because it's made of PVC, it won't impart tastes or odors to your product. The PVC also won't break down and become brittle from exposure to oil. However, you can't use this hose as part of a high-temperature line. The plastic is clear, so you can easily monitor your flow. A spiral reinforcement ensures the hose keeps its shape when hooked up to a vacuum pump.
The fittings on this hose are 304 stainless steel, so they won't rust from repeated cleaning with water and mild chemicals. Also called tri-clamp fittings, they attach to other quick-clamp fittings with a gasket and a clamp. This type of connection gives you easy access to your line.
Wet-Food and Beverage Hose for High Alcohol
Content with Quick-Clamp Sanitary Fittings
- Temperature Range: -30° to 210° F
- Maximum Vacuum: 26" of Hg @ 72° F
- Material: UHMW Polyethylene
- Color: Green
Easily access lines that move highly alcoholic or acidic wet food and beverages—this hose has flanged ends that join with quick-clamp fittings. Also known as distillery hose, this hose is UHMW polyethylene, so it won't crack or degrade while moving liquid with a 99% alcohol concentration. It also won’t impart tastes or odors on the contents of your line. This hose is FDA compliant and its fittings are 3-A certified, so it’s safe to use with food. Both the hose and fittings stand up to repeated rinsing with water and mild chemicals, making it a good choice for food and beverage processing environments. The hose also won’t wear down or leave marks if dragged, become brittle from oil, or break down from ozone. Reinforced with yarn and steel wire, this hose holds its shape and won’t collapse when hooked up to a vacuum pump.
The fittings are also known as tri-clamp fittings. Attach them to other quick-clamp fittings with a gasket and a clamp.
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.
Static-Control Soft Plastic and Rubber Tubing for Air and Water
Protect sensitive equipment with this tubing—it is specially formulated to reduce the buildup of static electricity.
PVC plastic tubing has a steel wire coil embedded into the walls to divert static without the need for grounding. It is clear, so you can easily monitor flow. Tubing is semi-flexible and is good for gradual bends.
- Semi-Flexible
- Compatible with Barbed Tube Fittings
- Soft (Durometer 70A)
- Temperature Range: 25° to 150° F
High-Pressure Soft Plastic and Rubber Tubing for Food, Beverage, and Dairy
An internal reinforcement gives this tubing the strength to withstand higher pressures than other soft tubing for food, beverage, and dairy. This hose meets NSF/ANSI food safety standards. Tubing doesn’t contain plasticizers like DEHP, so it won’t impart tastes or odors to the fluid passing through it.
PVC plastic tubing can withstand the highest pressures. It is clear, so you can easily monitor flow through the line. This tubing is 3A certified for use in dairy facilities and other sanitary environments. Flexible tubing bends easily around objects.
