Silicone Braided Hose Assemblies

Providing a safe and reliable method of high-pressure fluid transfer, braided silicone hose assemblies combine platinum-cured silicone hose fitted with biopharmaceutical grade stainless steel tri-clamp connections. Assemblies are made to custom lengths and are provided with a permanently crimped stainless steel tri-clamp style fittings. All hose assemblies are pressure tested to check and confirm hose integrity. These lightweight flexible hoses can be provided with optional laser marking on the stainless ferrule and/or FEP encapsulated tagging.

Features and benefits

Constructed from biopharmaceutical grade BPSHP high pressure silicone hose for critical bioprocess fluid transfer
Lot traceable, USP Class VI with 316 stainless steel fittings and SF4 surface finish to meet validation and quality requirements
Lightweight and flexible compared to wire reinforced or wire braided hose for ease of installation where space is limited
Custom lengths and configuration with optional silicone encapsulated tagging to meet a wide range of applications with visible marking to indicate intended use
Assemblies are pressure tested to ensure integrity and reliability
Suitable for repeat autoclave and application in multi-use systems as well as single-use
