• Should always be used for 2-1/2", 3" and 4" I.D. assemblies

• Excellent chemical resistance
• Compatible with almost all materials
• Rounded, open-pitch helical convolutions shaped to ensure smooth product flown on-stick surface, easy to clean (steam, caustics, solvents or other cleaning agents)
• Assured sterility
• Easy to flex, yet won't flatten when bent

• Co-extrusion design with minute amount of carbon added to inner portion of thick-wall construction
• Processed to prevent chemical leaching or friction contamination
• Chemfluor® PTFE properties are completely maintained

Chemfluor® PTFE Fluoropolymer Helically Convoluted Inner Tube
Polypropylene Braid
Open Pitch

Features and Benefits

Chemfluor® PTFE inner tube
Polypropylene braid

• Ultraviolet stabilized
• Offers good chemical resistance against many types of acids
• Resists abrasion better than stainless steel reinforcements
• Lightweight, with minimum force to bend
  -Easy to transport, connect and disconnect
  -Less strain on adjoining equipment/scales
• Braid fraying minimized, reducing risk of hand injuries from wire braid punctures
• Does not conduct internal heat as readily as stainless steel braided hoses
• Burn potential from incidental contact greatly reduced

Chemfluor® PTFE Fluoropolymer Helically Convoluted Inner Tube
Platinum-Cured Silicone Cover
Stainless Steel Braid, Low Profile

Features & Benefits

See Chemfluor® fluoropolymer inner tubes (WCS/BCS)
Silicone Cover

• Durable, extremely flexible, ultra pure platinum-cured silicone
• Extruded directly over WCS Series hose
• Extremely smooth for easy cleaning and assured sterility
• No place for bacteria to accumulate
• Hose assemblies may be autoclaved or SIP cleaned
• Cover is locked to stainless steel braid reinforcement so that hose and cover flex as one unit, with no bulges or creases; tear resistance also improved due to right fit
• Braid fraying minimized, reducing risk of hand injuries from wire braid punctures
• Enhanced thermal insulating properties
• Burn potential from accidental contact greatly reduced
