Data Center Cooling Stainless Steel Hose

ASHFLEX® Data Centre Cooling Stainless Steel Hose is a flexible metal hose assembly designed for chilled-water and liquid-cooling systems in data centres. It provides a durable connection between fixed piping, cooling distribution units, pumps, manifolds, heat exchangers and cooling equipment.

Its corrugated stainless steel inner hose and external wire braid provide flexibility, pressure strength and corrosion resistance. The assembly helps absorb pump vibration, accommodate thermal expansion and compensate for limited equipment movement or piping misalignment.

Typical Hose Construction

• Inner Hose: Flexible corrugated stainless steel tube
• Material Options: Stainless steel 304 or stainless steel 316
• Reinforcement: Single or double stainless steel wire braid
• Transferred Media: Chilled water, treated water and compatible water-glycol coolant mixtures
• End Connections: BSP, NPT, JIC, grooved adaptors, camlock, unions or flanges
• Working Pressure: According to hose diameter, braid configuration, temperature and fitting rating
• Temperature Range: According to the cooling medium, hose material, fittings and seals
• Assembly Length: Customised according to equipment and installation requirements
• Testing: Hydrostatic pressure and air-leak testing available
• Documentation: Test certificates and material documentation available upon request

✅ Complete assembly testing and certification available

Typical Applications

• Data-centre chilled-water systems
• Cooling distribution units (CDUs)
• Direct-to-chip liquid-cooling systems
• Rear-door heat exchangers
• CRAH and cooling equipment
• Pump and heat-exchanger connections
• Coolant distribution manifolds
• In-row cooling systems
• Water-glycol circulation systems
• Connections between fixed piping and cooling equipment

Important: The hose material and sealing components must be compatible with the exact coolant formulation, glycol concentration, water-treatment chemicals, pressure and temperature.

Installation Note: Stainless steel hose is electrically conductive. Appropriate bonding and grounding requirements should be reviewed as part of the data-centre installation design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a Data Centre Cooling Stainless Steel Hose used for?
A: It provides a flexible connection for circulating chilled water or compatible coolant between fixed piping, CDUs, pumps, manifolds, heat exchangers and data-centre cooling equipment.

Q: Can the hose be used with water-glycol coolant?
A: Yes, subject to compatibility with the glycol type, concentration, corrosion inhibitors, temperature, stainless steel grade and sealing materials.

Q: Should I choose SS304 or SS316?
A: SS304 is suitable for many treated chilled-water systems. SS316 offers better corrosion resistance and may be preferred for more demanding water chemistry or installation environments.

Q: Can Ash Hose test the completed cooling-hose assembly?
A: Yes. In-house hydrostatic pressure and air-leak testing are available. An official test certificate can be issued according to the agreed requirements.

Q: How do I request a quotation?
A: Please provide the hose diameter, overall length, coolant type and concentration, working and test pressures, operating temperature, stainless steel grade, braid requirement, end connections, quantity and delivery location.
