OVERVIEW: The Flexicraft Model SB2 builds on the versatility of our standard Model SB1 metal hose by adding a second layer of high-strength stainless steel braiding. This double braided construction significantly increases the maximum working pressure for demanding fluid transfer systems, making it an ideal choice for high-pressure cooling networks in modern data centers and heavy industrial facilities.
Featuring a 321SS corrugated inner core, with 316SS available for enhanced corrosion resistance, the SB2 delivers reliable performance in extreme temperatures from -320°F to 1500°F. Every SB2 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) reinforced with a heavy-duty double stainless steel outer braid.
- Pressure Capacity: Double braided design allows for significantly higher working pressures compared to single braided models.
- Size Range: Available in 1/4" to 24" diameters.
- Temperature Rating: -320°F to 1500°F.
- Custom Fabrication: Manufactured to any length with your exact choice of welded end fittings.
APPLICATIONS:
- Demanding industrial fluid transfer where single braided hoses are insufficient for system pressures.
- High-pressure data center cooling networks and mission-critical central utility plants.
- High-vibration pump connections and compressor lines requiring heavy-duty isolation.
