Swagelok® Metal Hose (AH Series)
AH series all-metal hose reduces permeation in high-temperature, vacuum, or highly corrosion-resistant applications where permeation or absorption is undesirable.
Contact a Hose SpecialistThe AH series hoses are constructed with an alloy C-276 annular convoluted core for additional corrosion resistance and a single braid outer layer 316L stainless steel for hose pressure containment. A convoluted core allows for flexibility and limits kinking.
