Braided Flexible Hoses & Connectors

OVERVIEW:  Flexicraft custom braided metal hoses, featuring our SB1, SB2, and SB3 series, are engineered from corrugated stainless steel for the most demanding fluid transfer applications. Built to your exact specifications, these highly adaptable hoses serve a broad spectrum of industrial routing needs well beyond standard flexible connector applications.

In mission-critical facilities like data center cooling networks, these custom hoses deliver exceptional reliability. They serve as the perfect complement to our zero-thrust ML Loops, combining to create a comprehensive, robust piping infrastructure that absorbs vibration, thermal expansion, and seismic movement.

Alongside our custom SB series, we maintain an extensive inventory of ready-to-ship stock flexible connectors. Quick-ship solutions like our flanged Model FF and threaded Model TT provide economical vibration isolation for pumps and other critical facility equipment.

  • SB1 is a very popular corrugated stainless steel hose with a single stainless steel braid. It is resistant to bursting, cracking, and crushing, while being quote flexible.  1/4" to 24" diameters. -320F to 1500F.

  • SB2 is a corrugated stainless steel hose with a double stainless steel braid for a higher pressure capacity than the SB1 single braided hose. It is resistant to bursting, cracking, and crushing, while being quite flexible.  1/4" to 24" diameters. -320F to 1500F.

  • SB2VHP is a very high pressure corrugated stainless steel hose, with pressures higher than the SB2HP. 316LSS inner hose for corrosion resistance. 1/4" to 6" diameters. -320F to 1500F.

  • SB3 is a very high pressure corrugated stainless steel hose with a stainless steel braid. It has similar pressure capacity to the SB2VHP, yet retains excellent bending with a close pitch design. 316SS inner hose for corrosion resistance, with larger diameters to 12". 1/4" to 12" diameters. -320F to 850F.

  • BB1 is a corrugated bronze hose with a single bronze braid. It has a high pressure capacity at high temperatures. It is resistant to bursting, cracking, and crushing, while being quite flexible.  1/4" to 3" diameters.  -50F to 450F.

  • Flexible Connectors stocked with 150# carbon steel flanges and stainless steel hose & braid in three standard lengths. From 2" to 14" diameters. All others fabricated as needed.

  • Flexible Connectors stocked with carbon steel MNPT thread ends and stainless steel hose & braid in two standard lengths. From 3/8" to 2-1/2" diameters. All others fabricated as needed.

  • Flexible Connectors stocked carbon steel grooved ends and stainless steel hose & braid from 2" to 12" diameters. All others fabricated as needed.

  • Flexible Connectors stocked with copper sweat ends and stainless steel hose & braid from 1/2" to 3" diameters. All others fabricated as needed.

  • Flexicraft provides a braided metal connector with CSA / AGA approval. Available in c/s weld or MNPT thread ends, from 1/2" to 4" diameters.

  • A bonded FDA silicone liner is embedded for a food grade sanitary, clean-in-place design. The flanged connectors range from 1-1/2" to 8" diameters.
