Shaped EPDM reinforced rubber hose Stalgast C012578

A shaped EPDM reinforced rubber hose designed for fluid transfer in professional catering environments. The hose maintains a fixed contour, allowing it to fit precisely into tight spaces around equipment without kinking or collapsing. Reinforcement layers prevent bulging under pressure, ensuring a steady flow of liquids or gases even when the hose is bent or routed around obstacles.

In use, the shaped contour eliminates the need for sharp bends, reducing stress on connections and extending the life of taps, pumps and fittings. The operator connects one end to the fluid source and the other to the receiving appliance, securing each joint with a clamp or threaded fitting. The hose remains flexible enough to manoeuvre but rigid enough to hold its shape, so it does not sag or interfere with nearby worktops or hobs.

EPDM rubber resists heat, oils and cleaning chemicals commonly found in commercial kitchens, while the internal reinforcement prevents the hose from expanding or bursting under typical operating pressures. The material does not absorb odours or flavours, making it suitable for both water and food-safe liquids.

Cleaning follows from the smooth bore and non-porous surface: flush with warm water after each service, scrub with a soft brush if residue remains, and store loosely coiled in a cupboard to prevent permanent deformation.
