Offered as an alternative to mandrel-built wrapped silicone hose, APSH-DB provides several advantages over wrapped hose. APSH-DB, an extruded product, is less costly than wrapped hose and is available in lengths up to 50 feet. It offers more flexibility and comparable working pressure ratings. APSH-DB meets USP Class VI, FDA CFR 177.2600, ISO 10993, European Pharmacopoeia 3.1.9, NSF 51, and 3A standards.
APSH-DB Double Braid-Reinforced Silicone Hose is not intended for implantation and is not to be used for continuous steam applications.
