Product Details and Specifications
Introducing the pinnacle of unreinforced hose durability: our 18x23mm extreme-duty silicone hose. Featuring an exceptionally thick 2.5mm wall, this hose is engineered not just to transfer fluids, but to provide unparalleled structural integrity in the most challenging conditions. It is the definitive solution for high-vacuum applications, severe abrasion environments, and any system where absolute kink-proof performance is mandatory.
Core Advantages:
Ultimate Kink-Proof Performance: With its semi-rigid 2.5mm wall, this hose is virtually impossible to kink. It maintains its form perfectly, ensuring uninterrupted flow even when routed through complex, high-stress assemblies.
Superior Vacuum & Pressure Stability: Specifically designed to resist collapse under strong vacuum and to withstand higher incidental pressures. Its robust cross-section guarantees shape retention where lesser hoses would fail.
Exceptional Shape Retention: The sheer thickness ensures the hose maintains a perfect circular profile, even under intense clamping force, providing a more reliable and secure seal with fittings.
Uncompromised High-Flow Capacity: Despite its immense strength, the large 18mm bore is preserved, offering the high-throughput characteristics needed for rapid fluid transfer, drainage, and circulation systems.
Certified for Critical Purity: Made from 100% medical and food-grade platinum-cured silicone, it complies with FDA and LFGB regulations, making it safe for the most sensitive applications, from pharmaceuticals to food processing.

Prime Applications:
Engineered for the most severe and demanding industrial tasks:
Industrial Vacuum Systems: The number one choice for vacuum lines, manifold connections, and any application where resistance to collapse under negative pressure is critical.
Heavy Machinery & Off-Road Vehicles: Ideal for coolant lines, protective sleeving, and fluid systems on construction, agricultural, and mining equipment where impact and abrasion are constant threats.
High-Suction Food & Pharmaceutical Transfer: Perfect for thick or viscous product transfer and clean-in-place (CIP) systems that involve strong suction cycles.
High-Abuse Protective Conduit: Use as an ultra-durable, impenetrable conduit to shield critical wiring harnesses, hydraulic lines, or sensor cables from crushing, impact, and environmental hazards.
Structural Components & Spacers: Its rigidity allows it to be cut and used as non-conductive, vibration-dampening spacers, bumpers, or structural standoffs in custom assemblies.

CRITICAL Application Note:
This product is sold by the meter and is supplied in a continuous length.
Flexibility Warning: This is a semi-rigid hose with a very large bend radius. It is designed for straight runs or very gentle curves and is not suitable for tight corners.
Pressure Advisory: This hose offers the highest pressure and vacuum resistance of any unreinforced silicone tube in our lineup. However, for continuous, high-pressure applications, a dedicated fabric-reinforced hose is recommended.
