The stainless steel braided outer layer gives high pressure resistance and wear resistance, and the flexible design absorbs vibration and equipment movement. It can be used on flexible sections of gas, liquid and steam lines, with quick connects or tube fittings on both ends.
A braided flexible hose is built from a stainless steel corrugated inner tube (bellows) plus a stainless steel braided outer layer. It handles high pressure and vibration and stays flexible, for connections between equipment that must absorb movement, vibration or thermal expansion. Both ends usually carry Swagelok tube fittings or quick connects. Tell us the size, length and end connection type, and we will match the specification for you.

Typical applications
In industrial piping systems, flexible hose is used instead of rigid tube in these places:
| Application | Description |
|---|---|
| Pump inlet and outlet | Absorbs pump vibration so it does not travel into the piping |
| Equipment connections | Flexible correction when equipment position is slightly off |
| Thermal expansion compensation | Absorbs movement of hot lines caused by temperature changes |
| Moving equipment | Quick-connect lines for equipment that moves or is removed regularly |
| Instrument sampling lines | Flexible leads to analyzers and sensors |
Selection note: the hose’s minimum bend radius must suit your installation; bending it too tightly damages the inner corrugations. For high-temperature, high-pressure or corrosive media, please send the full operating conditions so we can confirm the right specification. This is general advice and each case still needs to be checked.
