OVERVIEW: The Flexicraft Model SB1 is our most popular corrugated stainless steel metal hose, reinforced with a high-strength single stainless steel braid. Engineered for exceptional flexibility and vibration resistance, the SB1 serves as the foundational workhorse for demanding fluid transfer systems, ranging from high-temperature industrial piping to mission-critical data center cooling networks.
Constructed with a 321SS corrugated inner core, with 316SS available for enhanced corrosion resistance, the SB1 delivers reliable performance across an extreme temperature range of -320°F to 1500°F. Every SB1 hose is custom-fabricated to your exact length requirements and seamlessly TIG welded with a wide variety of carbon or stainless steel end fittings.
FEATURES:
- Construction: Corrugated stainless steel inner hose (321SS standard, 316SS optional) protected by a single stainless steel outer braid.
- Size Range: Available in 1/4" to 24" diameters.
- Temperature Rating: Withstands extreme environments from -320°F to 1500°F.
- Custom Fabrication: Manufactured to any length with your exact choice of welded end fittings.
APPLICATIONS:
- General high-temperature or high-pressure industrial fluid transfer.
- Mission-critical data center cooling networks and central utility plants.
- Pump connections requiring essential vibration isolation and flexibility.
