What is a Stainless Steel Flex Hose?

A stainless steel flex hose is a flexible connection component, typically made from stainless steel, designed to withstand high pressure and temperature. Thanks to its layered structure, it offers both leak-tightness and long service life. It is especially useful in systems exposed to constant vibration, helping to protect the piping and connection points.

Common stainless steel grades:

• AISI 304: Suitable for general-purpose applications.

• AISI 316: Offers higher corrosion resistance, preferred in chemical environments.

Where Are Stainless Steel Flex Hoses Used?

• Heating and cooling systems

• Fire protection systems

• Food processing lines

• Chemical and petrochemical plants

• Natural gas connections

• Marine and shipbuilding applications

These hoses are ideal for installations in tight spaces and help extend the life of the system by reducing vibration-related wear.

Why Choose Stainless Steel Flex Hoses?

• Corrosion Resistance: Provides long-lasting durability in humid, chemical, or saline environments.

• Flexibility: Allows for easy installation in confined spaces and accommodates dimensional tolerances.

• Pressure Resistance: Capable of handling high-pressure fluids safely.

• Leak-Tightness: Ensures leak-free operation when properly installed.

• Low Maintenance: Long service life with minimal maintenance needs.

What to Consider When Choosing a Stainless Steel Flex Hose

• Appropriate diameter and length

• Suitable pressure and temperature ratings

• Correct connection type (threaded, flanged, etc.)

• Material quality (AISI 304/316)

• Compatibility with the application (e.g., food, chemical, water)

Selecting the wrong type of hose can negatively impact system performance and safety. It is highly recommended to consult with an experienced technical team during the selection process.
