Ultraflex Makes Excellent Vent Tubing UltraFlexible Convoluted PTFE Vent Tubing The exceptionally tight bend radius and low force required to deflect this flexible tubing make it the product of choice for chemical cent lines, vapor recovery ducting, gravity fed drains and industrial vacuum applications. Manufactured from either virgin FDA approved PTFE for high purity applications or carbon filled PTFE where static dissipation is required. The open pitched helical convolutions allow for easy draining and cleaning. Custom fabricated factory assemblies are available with cuffed ends, Flare-Thru ends or crimped on fittings. UltraFlex TM Vent tubing Advantage: Corrosion Resistant PTFE is fully resistant to the broadest range of industrial chemicals and has a zero corrosion rate, lower life cycle costs, and is Non-contaminating. Cleanable Non-stick, low porosity tube does not trap bacteria, and can be readily cleaned with steam, detergents, caustics or solvents. Compatible Will not contaminate or impart a taste, color or odor to any media. Sanitary FDA approved materials meet or exceed 3A requirements; USP Class VI approved. Flexible Does not fatigue or stress corrode like metal hose. Durable Designed for extended use in hostile environments involving severe chemical, thermal and mechanical stresses. Does not suffer aging or embrittlement, even with extreme thermal cycling.
Here are even more applications for PureFlex Composite Valves Light weight shut off of water on the boom of a fire truck - MRO and OEM Waste water treatment plants Municipal water treatment plants for drinking water In the circulation of saltwater in a public aquarium Long term exposure to weather or salt water such as dock facilities
UltraFlex "Stripy" Hose has Many Advantages UltraFlex "Stripy" Hose was developed specifically for those applications that require static dissipation but where there are concerns that the carbon black may contaminate the process fluid. Extruded simultaneously two thin strips of anti-static PTFE are embedded in the virgin PTFE convoluted tube, thus reducing the fluids contact with the carbon black by as much as 90%. These anti-static stripes prevent an electrical charge building up while transferring certain fluids. UltraFlex "Stripy" Hose is available with 316 SS braid, polypropylene braid or bare tube for vent lines and sizes range from ½ ID to 3. PureFlex factory built assemblies have over 40 different end fitting configurations to meet all your needs.

PureFlex Offers an On-Line Hose Certification Program With this program, the unique PureFlex serial number that is permanently marked on the hose assembly is broken down into its components. From our web site you select the test report number or hose lot number of those components to get copies of the actual material test reports PureFlex receives from its raw material suppliers. Further PureFlex records when the CL2 hose assembly is shipped. PureFlex then notifies its customers when the assembly should be inspected and/or replaced. PureFlex is dedicated to the safe and reliable handling one of the industries deadliest chemicals CHLORINE.

There are numerous applications for PureFlex Composite Valves In the production of chlorine at a chemical processing plant: Ducting off of separation cells transferring wet chlorine gas to headers Isolation within piping system for maintenance Transfer of brine into membrane cells Positive shut off on loading stations Cooling tower feed line in brine treatment area Water handling in desalination plants or reverse osmosis plants Tank truck trailers hauling bleach, acids or other hazardous chemicals MRO and OEM Transfer of corrosive fluids in a bleach plant or chemical repackaging plant Pickling lines in a steel mill or plating facility Bottom of storage vessels in a tank farm
PureFlex Offers Braid Reinforcement Options PureFlex convoluted PTFE hoses can be reinforced with two types of braid reinforcement. Both stainless steel and polypropylene help protect the tube from external damage, increase working pressures and offer a measure of kink protection. Both are suitable for most industrial applications but do offer different features and benefits the end user should be aware of. Stainless Steel Braid Offers: Higher working pressures per size (see attached specification sheet) Higher maximum useable temperature (450 F vs 250 F) Better abrasion resistance Good chemical compatibility Can be used outside in direct exposure to sunlight Polypropylene Braid Offers: User friendly, polypropylene when frayed will not cut the operators hand Will not puncture convoluted PTFE liner With virgin PTFE tube the final assembly is electrical isolating Is compatible with fluids that will attack stainless steel (HCL & salt water)
