Silicone hose LF 071147

A silicone hose transfers liquids, steam or gases between catering appliances without reacting with the contents. The material stays flexible across a wide temperature range, so it does not harden in cold storage or soften when steam passes through. This flexibility also allows the hose to bend around tight corners without kinking, which keeps the flow steady and prevents blockages.

To use the hose, the operator cuts it to the required length, slides it over the barbed fitting on each appliance, and secures it with a clamp. The silicone surface grips the fitting, reducing the risk of leaks even when the connection is under pressure. Once fitted, the hose can carry hot water, cleaning solutions or compressed air without degrading, so it remains in service for repeated cycles of heating, cooling and cleaning.

The hose is made from food-grade silicone, which does not impart taste or odour to the liquids passing through it. It is also resistant to oils and fats commonly found in professional kitchens, so it does not absorb them and become a source of contamination.

Cleaning is straightforward: the hose can be detached, rinsed with warm water and a mild detergent, then left to dry before reassembly. Its smooth interior surface prevents particles from clinging, so it does not require scrubbing or soaking.

This hose is typically used to connect combi ovens to water supplies, link bain-maries to drainage systems, or route steam from boilers to holding cabinets. Its construction suits it for any application where a flexible, non-reactive conduit is needed between catering appliances.
