Flexible Metal Hose
12″ Flexible Metal Hose
The 304 Stainless Steel Flexible Metal Hose is designed to absorb movement, vibration, and thermal expansion in industrial piping systems. Contractors use this hose to connect rigid piping where flexibility is neededโsuch as between pumps, compressors, or vibrating equipment. Its corrugated design allows for multi-directional movement while maintaining pressure integrity. Ideal for water, steam, air, and chemical applications, it installs easily using threaded or press-fit ends. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and ensures long-term durability in demanding environments. Use it to reduce stress on piping systems and improve overall system reliability and performance.
