Frequently Asked Questions
Can this nylon hose be used outdoors in low temperatures?
Yes, the hose is suitable for outdoor use within its operating range of -20°C to +70°C. In very cold conditions it will become slightly stiffer, but it will continue to perform effectively provided it is not subjected to bending below its minimum bend radius.
Is this hose suitable for all types of fluids?
The hose is designed for many common industrial fluids, including air, certain oils and compatible lubricants. However, not all chemicals are suitable for use with Polyamide 12. Always check the chemical compatibility of your specific medium with PA12 before use and consult relevant safety data where required.
How do I choose the correct diameter and coil length?
Select the hose diameter based on the required flow rate, working pressure and the connection sizes on your equipment. Choose a coil length that allows routing with gentle bends, avoiding tension or sharp kinks. Where in doubt, measure your installation path and add a safety margin to ensure a stress-free fit.
