NL5835 platinum cured, kink resistant, highly flexible silicone hose with a wire helix; it is designed for ultra pure food, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, cosmetic & chemical industries. It is also extremely resistant to temperature variations, sterilization, ozone, and UV over long periods of time. This hose meets stringent standards including FDA Standard 21, German BfR, 1935/2004/EC, USP Class VI, ISO 10993-6/10993-10/10993-11, and 3A sanitary standards. It may also be used for low pressure steam sterilization or autoclaved at up to 121°C (250°F) in a normal autoclaving cycle. However, if exposed to repeated steam sterilization, long-term high temperature or pressure, silicone will eventually relax and become "gummy" and should then be replaced. Due to the nature of silicone rubber, this hose is NOT for use with abrasive products or handling, as well as oily products or environments. Our NL5835 is sold in assemblies only (maximum length 13ft) and can be lot or batch traced when requested. For platinum cured plain silicone "tubing" refer to the Tubing Section.

Construction: Tube: Smooth silicone. Cover: Smooth translucent clear/white silicone rubber. Reinforcement: 3 or 4 plies of polyester fabric with an embedded stainless steel wire helix.

Typical Fittings: Stainless or white poly camlocks/combination nipples (suction or low pressure, standard black camlock gaskets to be replaced with food grade material), N5013 Interlocking Sanitary Crimp, N5014 Crevice Free 1-Piece Crimp, N5012 full flow internal expansion, standard sanitary insert fittings with stainless band clamps (NOT recommended with plain, non-interlocking WC-SS crimp sleeves due to rubber flow & coupling integrity). Excessive heat in long cycles can compromise coupling integrity on thick, soft durometer hoses.

Temperature Range: -60°C (-76°F) to +180°C (356°F)

Detail Comments: Rated working pressures vary depending on the application, media, and temperature.

Warning: **KEEP VERY CLEAN & COVERED - DON'T REMOVE PLASTIC WRAP**

Cut Method: Sawzall or Hacksaw & Side Snips for Wire-Wear Safety Gloves
