Swagelok® PTFE Core Hose Smooth Bore, F-Series
F series is a nonmetallic PTFE smooth-bore core hose that is commonly used where flexibility, chemical compatibility, and a nonconductive braid are desired.
Request More InformationF series is a nonmetallic PTFE smooth-bore core hose with a fiber braid bonded to the core with a patent-pending process to resist kinking. This hose is commonly used where flexibility, chemical compatibility, and a nonconductive braid are desired.
A size of range of 1/4 to 3/4 inch, working pressures from vacuum to 800 psig (55.1 bar), and a variety of end connections allow the F series hose to meet the needs of a range of systems. An optional carbon black-filled PTFE core is available for applications that require static dissipation. Custom assemblies are available with other options including hose covers and tags.
Every Swagelok F series hose assembly is pressure tested with water at room temperature for 30 seconds to a requirement of no detectable leakage. Testing is performed at 500 psig (34.4 bar), or 225 psig (15.5 bar) if an end connection is rated below 500 psig (34.4 bar).
