Ultra-Robust Structural Silicone Hose - 17mm ID x 23mm OD

Product Details and Specifications

Engineered for the most unforgiving environments, our 17x23mm structural silicone hose redefines durability. Featuring a massive 3mm thick wall, this hose behaves more like a semi-rigid pipe, offering unparalleled resistance to crushing, kinking, and vacuum collapse. It is the ultimate choice for applications where the hose must not only transfer fluids but also provide structural support and withstand extreme physical abuse.

Core Advantages:

• Unmatched Crush & Kink Immunity: The fortress-like 3mm wall provides exceptional rigidity, making it virtually immune to kinking and crushing from external forces, impacts, or being stepped on.

• Maximum Structural Integrity: This hose maintains its shape under significant load, making it ideal for use as a structural conduit, guide tube, or a form-holding component in complex assemblies.

• Superior High-Vacuum Capability: The ultra-thick wall provides the highest resistance to collapse among our unreinforced tubes, making it perfect for demanding high-suction and vacuum applications.

• Ultimate Protective Barrier: Offers an exceptional degree of thermal insulation and physical protection when used as a jacketing sleeve for critical cables, rods, or hydraulic lines in harsh industrial settings.

• Certified Purity, Industrial Strength: Despite its rugged build, it's made from 100% platinum-cured silicone, meeting FDA and LFGB standards for applications requiring both purity and extreme toughness.

Prime Applications:

Engineered for the most demanding structural and high-abuse scenarios:

• Protective Jacketing & Sleeving: The definitive choice for sleeving hydraulic lines, wiring harnesses, and control rods on heavy equipment to protect against impact and abrasion.

• High-Suction & Industrial Vacuum: Ideal for high-powered vacuum conveyance, material handling, and processing lines where tube collapse is a critical failure point.

• Structural Conduits & Guides: Use as a rigid, self-supporting guide tube for routing smaller hoses, fiber optics, or cables within machinery.

• High-Abuse Coolant & Fluid Lines: Perfect for exposed fluid transfer lines on off-road vehicles, construction equipment, and industrial machinery where physical damage is likely.

• Fabrication & Prototyping: An excellent material for creating custom rigid or semi-rigid components that require the temperature and chemical resistance of silicone.

CRITICAL Application Note:

• This product is sold by the meter and is supplied in a continuous length.

• Flexibility Warning: This is a semi-rigid product. It has a very large bend radius and is not intended for applications requiring flexibility or tight turns. Please plan your routing accordingly.

• Pressure Advisory: While extremely robust, this is an unreinforced tube. For sustained high-pressure applications, please browse our selection of fabric-reinforced silicone hoses.
