Description
A hot water cleaning hose for medium pressure, rated to 20 bar at 70°C continuously and built for industrial cleaning across general industry and the food industry. Its five-layer structure combines high resistance polyester fibre reinforcement with special intermediate adhesive layers and a white inner layer with high temperature performance, creating a high performance, safe and reliable hose capable of withstanding heavy duty applications.
Every PVC layer is food grade, from the soft blue outer cover through to the white inner layer, with both the cover and inner layer resistant to detergents and disinfectants. The non-staining, greaseproof cover also resists oils, grease and detergents, making this food industry cleaning hose well suited to dairies, slaughterhouses and other food processing environments.
It is equally at home as a catering washdown hose in canteens, refectories and kitchens, and for shopkeepers including butchers, fishmongers and market traders. Highly flexible polymer components provide excellent handling, while high temperature performance allows continuous use at up to 70°C under 20 bar, with peaks of up to 80°C possible for short periods. At 20°C, working pressure rises to 33 bar.
Compliant with (EU) No 10/2011 for food contact and phthalate free, it is supplied in 12mm, 16mm and 19mm bore sizes in 25m coils, with the 12mm bore also available in 100m. It is compatible with barbed connectors with ‘O’ clips or swaged connectors with ferrules.
Key Features & Benefits
- 20 bar at 70°C: Rated for continuous use at 20 bar working pressure at temperatures up to 70°C.
- Peaks up to 80°C: Accommodates short periods of use at up to 80°C.
- 33 bar at 20°C: Higher working pressure at ambient temperature for colder cleaning tasks.
- Consistent ratings across all sizes: Every bore size carries the same working and burst pressure ratings, simplifying selection.
- Food-grade PVC layers: The cover, adhesion layers and inner layer are all made from food-grade PVC.
- Non-staining, greaseproof cover: The blue outer cover resists oils, grease and detergents.
- Detergent and disinfectant resistant: Both the cover and inner layer stand up to routine cleaning chemicals.
- High resistance polyester reinforcement: Polyester fibre reinforcement provides a safe and reliable construction for heavy duty use.
- Excellent handling: Highly flexible polymer components keep the hose easy to manoeuvre.
- Food contact compliant: Meets (EU) No 10/2011, tested with simulants A, B and C.
- Phthalate free: Phthalate content below 0.1% for food and hygiene-sensitive environments.
