Chemfluor® PTFE Fluoropolymer Helically Convoluted Inner Tube
Stainless Steel Braid
Open Pitch

TWOBHV/TBOBHV Series
  • Fully rated vacuum hose
  • Recommended for full vacuum applications
  • Should always be used for 2-1/2", 3" and 4" I.D. assemblies
Features and Benefits

Chemfluor® PTFE inner tube
  • 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
Chemfluor® black PTFE electrostatic dissipating conductive inner tube

  • 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
Note:
Extended Service Life Tip: Flexible Components suggests using full-length anti-kink armor casing or at least 16" to 24" long anti-kink cuffs at each fitting end to help reduce the strain on the crimp collar and fittings in high load installations. Prolonged service at elevated temperatures will reduce total service life.

Engineering Specifications

N/A Temperature Rating

  • -100ºF to +450ºF
  • -73ºC to +232ºC

Pressure Rating

N/A Burst Pressure ratings at ambient 70°F (21°C). See below on vacuum/pressure ratings at temperatures other than ambient.
Working Pressure is given @ 70°F,; decrease working pressure 1% for every 2°F above 250°F.
Vacuum Rating is given @ 70°F @ 2X minimum bend radius; decrease vacuum rating 1% for every 2°F above 250°F. Vacuum rating decreases when installed @ less than 2X minimum bend radius. TWOBHV/TBOBHV Series (heavy duty vacuum option) allows full vacuum ratings for 1-1/2", 2" and 2-1/2" sizes up to 350°F decrease vacuum rating 1% for every 2°F above 350°F. Vacuum rating @ less than 2X minimum bend radius: 1-1/4" = 26" Hg; 1-1/2" = 25" Hg; 2" = 20" Hg; 2-1/2" = 17" Hg; 3" = 20" Hg; 4" = 17" Hg.
Extended Service Life Tip: Flexible Components suggests using full-length anti-kink armor casing or at least 16" to 24" long anti-kink cuffs (Hose Cover Options) at each fitting end to help reduce the strain on the crimp collar and fittings in high load installations. Prolonged service at elevated temperatures will reduce total service life.
