Description
Part Description:
EPDM Steam features a braided steel wire reinforcement which allows better retention to crimped fittings as opposed to clamped fittings when assembled. It is suitable for conveying saturated steam to 250 psi. EPDM Steam hose assemblies come complete with crimped male pipe (NPT) or female ground joint fittings.
Note: All steam hoses will last longer if they are drained after each use. Water that is left in steam hose tends to be absorbed into the tube compound. When the hose is rapidly reheated, the condensed moisture vaporizes in the rubber compound causing blistering of the tube. In general, steam hoses are not a substitute for steel piping and should not be used in manifold systems or any other permanent installation.
