Flexo® Stainless Steel

STAINLESS STEEL BRAID - GREAT LOOK AND PROTECTION

Nothing protects hoses from wear and blowout quite like real Stainless Steel braid. It looks great in any application and is as strong as, well, steel. But, custom hoses overbraided with stainless steel are expensive, selections are often limited and production and delivery times can be an issue. Now, you can take any stock or custom hose, slip a length of Flexo Stainless Steel (SS) expandable sleeving over it, hide the cut ends under your clamps and have the same look and protection as custom overbraided hoses at a fraction of the cost.

ECONOMICAL ABRASION PROTECTION

Stainless Steel sleeving is used in applications such as expansion joints, where constant movement and high temperatures require a flexible, indestructible covering. High end automotive applications have always used stainless steel hoses for looks, protection and durability.

TO PREVENT FRAYING DURING INSTALLATION

To prevent fraying when cutting any metal braid, slip the sleeving over the intended application to get an accurate measurement, wrap the area to be cut with a couple of turns of tape, mark the cut and remove the sleeving. Use shears or serrated scissors to cut through the tape and sleeving. Don’t remove the tape until the sleeving is installed and you’re ready to terminate the end.
