With a minimum bending radius of 240 mm, the K-260-2-M38x1.5 offers the flexibility needed for complex laboratory setups while ensuring maximum operational safety. Its specialized construction reduces energy loss and protects the user from surface temperatures, making it an essential accessory for high-performance Huber thermoregulation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the silicone outer cover important?
The smooth silicone cover protects the underlying insulation and braiding from chemical spills and environmental wear, while also being much easier to wipe down and maintain in sterile or busy lab environments.

2. Can this hose be used for vacuum applications?
While primarily designed for high-pressure circulation (up to 10 bar), the braided internal structure provides stability. However, for high-vacuum specific tasks, please verify with the technical manual for collapse resistance.

3. What is the benefit of the M38x1.5 connection?
This large-format thread is standard for high-flow Huber units (such as Unistats), ensuring that the hose can handle the high volumes of thermal fluid required for rapid temperature changes in large reactors.

4. Is this hose compatible with all thermal fluids?
The industrial plastic and silicone components are compatible with many standard heat transfer fluids. Always check the compatibility of your specific fluid with plastic/silicone materials across the intended temperature range.

5. How heavy is this 2-meter hose?
This specific 200cm model has a net weight of approximately 3.55 kg, balancing robust construction with manageable handling for laboratory staff.
