Special Hose Assemblies
For many years UNAFLEX® has combined technologies of metal hose with expansion joints into composite assemblies to perform in special applications. When an unusual or difficult problem must be solved, UNAFLEX® Engineering can create a solution. Some examples are shown below.
Large diameter metal hose are frequently the only practical transfer hose for various chemicals, particularly if elevated temperatures are included.
Need even more flexibility?
UNAFLEX® Engineering can vary core widths, height and metal gauge to provide a custom hose based on your design requirements. Consult factory for details.

Jacketed Assembly When conveyants must be maintained at a specified temperature, steam jacketing is used frequently, often in lieu of electric tracing. |

Guarded Assembly Use of an external flexible armor protects metal hose from abuse due to rough handling, abrasion and bending below its limits. Often a rubber cover can accomplish this as well as armor if temperatures will permit. |

Lined Assembly If high conveyant velocities are required, use of an internal flexible metal liner will prevent damage and reduce abrasion problems. |
