What is a Metal Interlock Stainless Steel Hose used for?
It is used for exhaust extraction, ventilation, hot-air transfer, dry bulk-material handling and mechanical protection of cables, hoses or wiring.
Share:
ASHFLEX® Metal Interlock Stainless Steel Hose is a flexible metallic hose manufactured from spirally wound and mechanically interlocked stainless steel strip. Its robust construction provides excellent resistance to heat, crushing, abrasion and external mechanical damage.
It is commonly used for exhaust extraction, ventilation, dry bulk-material transfer and protective conduit applications. The interlocked construction provides high mechanical strength while allowing flexibility for installations involving vibration, movement or restricted space.
Typical Hose Construction
- Construction: Spirally wound stainless steel strip with mechanically interlocked seams
- Material Options: Stainless steel 304 or stainless steel 316
- Profile: Interlocked metal-strip construction for flexibility and mechanical strength
- Inner Liner: Optional smooth metallic liner for improved flow and reduced material resistance
- Packing: Optional sealing material inserted into the interlocked seam for improved leakage control
- Outer Protection: Optional stainless steel braid or protective cover
- Temperature Range: Depends on the stainless steel grade, packing, liner and application
- End Connections: Welded cuffs, threaded fittings, flanges, clamps or custom connections
- Sizes and Lengths: Customised according to the application

Important: A standard metal interlock hose is not completely gas-tight or liquid-tight and is generally not intended for pressurised fluid transfer. Where pressure containment or leak-tight service is required, use a corrugated stainless steel hose or a specially engineered lined and packed interlock assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions for Metal Interlock Stainless Steel Hose
Is Metal Interlock Hose suitable for pressurised liquids or gases?
A standard interlock hose is not pressure-tight. For pressurised or leak-tight fluid service, a corrugated stainless steel braided hose is generally more suitable.
What is the purpose of a smooth inner liner?
A smooth liner reduces internal flow resistance and helps prevent powders, granules or abrasive materials from becoming trapped in the interlocked profile.
Should I choose SS304 or SS316?
SS304 is suitable for many general industrial applications. SS316 provides better corrosion resistance for marine, chemical and chloride-exposed environments.
