Jack-Flex – Heavy Wall Hose of Convoluted PTFE with Flared-Tube
Jack-Flex is constructed from convoluted, heavy wall, seamless extruded white locked in a stainless steel braid. It offers the latest in hoses lined with PTFE with flared tubing. In this process, the convoluted tubing is passed through the flange retainer, and flared over the face of the flange, effectively isolating the flange from the transfer chemical. Jack-Flex is ideal for situations where internal corrosion of the fitting and contamination of the chemical is not tolerable.
