Silicone hose LF L1449680

A flexible silicone hose carries liquids, steam or compressed air between components in professional catering equipment. The inner wall forms a smooth, non-stick surface that resists scale and food residues, while the outer layer absorbs vibration and thermal expansion without cracking. Shore 60 hardness gives enough rigidity to prevent kinking under suction yet remains pliable for tight bends around pumps, valves and heat exchangers.

Uncoil the metre length, cut to the required run, and push the ends onto barbed fittings or secure with worm-drive clips. The 3 mm bore suits low-flow circuits such as espresso machine boilers, combi-oven steam injectors and blast-chiller refrigerant lines, while the 5 mm outside diameter fits standard 5 mm push-in connectors found on many commercial appliances.

The hose is made from food-grade silicone that withstands repeated sterilisation cycles and does not impart taste or odour. It remains stable across the temperature range encountered in catering equipment, from chilled water lines to steam at near-boiling point.

Cleaning follows from the smooth bore and non-porous material: flush with warm water or a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry before reassembly. No disassembly is needed for routine cleaning; the hose can be left in place on the appliance.

Sold in a single 1 m length.
