Flexible Braided Steel Hose, 1 Inch x 1 Inch, 0.8 m

Description

Overview

This flexible braided steel hose is a 0.8 m connector with 1 inch ends, used to join a pump, pressure tank or controller to rigid pipework. Because it bends, it lets you line up connections that sit a little out of true, and it takes some of the vibration out of the joint. It is a small part, but one that often decides whether an installation fits together on the day. Kamano supplies it from Polokwane to all nine provinces.

Key features

• Size: 1 inch x 1 inch
• Length: 0.8 m
• Braided steel construction for a tough outer layer
• Flexes to line up pump, tank and pipe
• Helps isolate pump vibration from fixed pipework
• Light and easy to handle on site

Where it works

Plumbers and borehole installers use a flexible hose like this between a booster pump and the manifold, or between a pressure tank and the delivery line, where a rigid joint would be hard to align. It is useful on farm pump houses in Limpopo and on household booster sets in Gauteng, where space is tight and the tank sits at an angle to the pipe. Check that your fittings are 1 inch and that 0.8 m is long enough for the run. Pair it with a 1 inch brass non-return valve or a 100 L horizontal pressure tank, or see the wider pump controllers and accessories.
