Stainless Steel Braided Hose

ASHFLEX® Stainless Steel Braided Hose is a flexible metal hose designed for transferring steam, hot water, oil, gas, chemicals and other compatible industrial fluids under demanding pressure and temperature conditions.

Its corrugated stainless steel inner hose provides flexibility and corrosion resistance, while the external stainless steel wire braid controls hose elongation and provides additional pressure strength. The assembly helps absorb vibration, accommodate thermal expansion and compensate for limited piping movement.

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
• Outer Protection: Optional protective sleeve, armour or fire-resistant cover
• Working Pressure: Depends on hose diameter, braid configuration, temperature and assembly design
• Temperature Range: Depends on the stainless steel grade, transferred medium, end fittings and sealing materials
• Assembly Length: Customised according to installation requirements
• End Connections: BSP, BSPT, NPT, JIC, camlock, flanges, unions and customised fittings
• Testing: Hydrostatic pressure and air-leak testing available

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a Stainless Steel Braided Hose used for?
A: It provides a flexible connection for transferring compatible liquids, gases and steam between pipes, pumps, tanks, boilers, heat exchangers and industrial equipment.

Q: What is the difference between single and double braid?
A: A single braid provides standard pressure reinforcement. A double braid provides additional pressure strength and is used for more demanding pressure or impulse conditions, subject to the assembly specification.

Q: Should I choose SS304 or SS316?
A: SS304 is suitable for many general industrial applications. SS316 provides better corrosion resistance for marine, chemical, food-processing and chloride-exposed environments.

Q: Can Ash Hose supply a complete Stainless Steel Hose assembly?
A: Yes. We provide custom assemblies with the required hose size, length, stainless steel grade, braid configuration and end fittings.

Q: Can the completed hose assembly be tested?
A: Yes. In-house hydrostatic pressure and air-leak testing are available. An official test certificate can be issued upon request.

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