Product Details and Specifications
Meet the workhorse of our collection: the 18x21mm general-purpose silicone hose. Engineered for versatility, it combines a large 18mm inner diameter for impressive flow rates with a flexible 1.5mm wall for easy installation, even in complex layouts. This is the go-to solution for a vast range of applications where reliability, purity, and ease of use are top priorities.
Core Advantages:
Superior Flexibility: The balanced 1.5mm wall provides excellent flexibility, allowing the hose to be easily routed around equipment and through tight spaces without kinking.
High-Volume Throughput: The wide 18mm bore is designed to minimize flow restriction, making it perfect for rapidly transferring liquids, running drainage lines, or in low-pressure circulation systems.
Reliable Everyday Durability: While flexible, the 1.5mm wall is robust enough to handle the demands of daily industrial, laboratory, and food production environments, resisting tearing and abrasion.
Crystal-Clear Monitoring: Manufactured from high-clarity, platinum-cured silicone, allowing for easy visual confirmation of fluid flow, color, and cleanliness.
Certified for Sensitive Applications: Fully compliant with FDA and LFGB standards, ensuring absolute purity for use in food processing, beverage dispensing, and pharmaceutical applications.
