The extensible flexible metal hose is made with closed pitch of the profile. Hoses of this type are subjected to heat treatment – a shiny annealing at a temperature of 1150°C under a nitrogen atmosphere to reduce the residual stresses in manufacturing. They are easily expanded and retain their shape after bending. Most often be used for natural gas with a nominal pressure up to 1 bar. The extending flexible metal hose for natural gas can be made with yellow heat shrinkable cover.
When used a water or other fluids the extension flexible metal hose is made with white heat shrinkable cover or without heat shrinkable covering.
Material of the hose – AISI 316L stainless steel or AISI 304;
The ends of the hose are TIG welded nipple with a pipe thread Rp 1/2 “/ Rp 3/4″ / Rp 1 “(type M) and nut (type F) with a pipe thread G1/2″ / G 3/4″ / G1″.
Material of the fittings for natural gas (nipple, internal part, nut) – stainless steel AISI 304.
Material of the fittings for water (nipple, inside) – stainless steel AISI 304 (for the nut) – MS58 brass with a Ni coating.
Hoses are supplied with a gasket made of rubber or aluminum.
