Metal Hose with Threaded Fittings

Versatile Connectivity for Dynamic System Integration

A Metal Hose with Threaded Fittings is a flexible conduit assembly designed for integration into systems using standardized screw-type connections.This configuration provides a versatile,secure,and relatively easy-to-install method for adding flexibility where dynamic movement,vibration isolation,or misalignment compensation is required in piped systems.

Core Construction&Assembly

Corrugated Metal Hose Core:The flexible element,typically made from stainless steel(304,316L)or specialty alloys.It features either annular corrugations(for pressure/vibration)or helical corrugations(for greater axial movement).

Braiding:Reinforced with a single or double layer of stainless steel wire braid to enhance pressure capability,provide mechanical protection,and dampen vibration.Unbraided versions are used for specific applications like full vacuum.

Integral Threaded End Fittings:Fittings with machined external(male)or internal(female)threads are permanently attached to each hose end.Attachment methods include:

Swaging/Crimping:The most common method,where the fitting is mechanically compressed onto the hose and braid,creating a strong,leak-proof assembly.

Brazing or Welding:Used for high-purity or extreme service applications,offering a smooth internal transition and maximum integrity.
