Peter Huber Hose Connection Tubing K-260-3-M38x1.5 Plastic, 300cm

The Peter Huber Hose Connection Tubing K-260-3-M38x1.5 is a high-performance industrial plastic hose designed for extreme temperature environments in laboratory and industrial thermoregulation. This robust 300cm tubing is engineered with integrated braiding for enhanced structural integrity and features specialized insulation to minimize energy loss. The hose is encased in an additional smooth silicone cover with ends secured by silicone caps, ensuring both safety and a long service life when used with high-capacity temperature control units.

Key Features:

• Brand: Peter Huber
• Temperature Range: Wide operating capability from -60°C up to +260°C
• Material: Industrial-grade plastic with protective braiding
• Connection: M38x1.5 thread (Sleeve nut according to DIN 3870, Ball socket according to DIN 3863)
• Length: 300 cm (3 meters) for extended reach in complex setups
• Insulation: Special thermal insulation with a smooth silicone outer hose and protective silicone end caps
• Pressure Resistance: Rated for a maximum pressure of 10 bar at 20°C (6 bar at 260°C)
• Nominal Width: DN 25 (Internal diameter: 25 mm)
• External Diameter: 56 mm
• Safety Rating: Fire rating UL94-HB for industrial compliance

This hose is ideal for connecting large-scale temperature control systems to reactors or other external applications where high flow rates and extreme temperature stability are required. Its flexible yet durable construction, with a minimum bending radius of 240 mm, allows for reliable routing in demanding laboratory configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the benefit of the silicone cover?
The smooth silicone hose covering provides an extra layer of protection against environmental factors and chemical splashes, while also making the hose easier to clean compared to exposed braiding.

2. Can this hose be used with all thermofluids?
The industrial plastic material is compatible with most standard heat transfer fluids within its temperature range. However, always verify chemical compatibility with your specific thermal fluid and the hose's plastic/silicone components.

3. What is the difference between this and a metal hose?
Plastic hoses like the K-260 series offer excellent flexibility and chemical resistance at a lighter weight (approx. 6 kg for this 3m length) while still maintaining a very high upper temperature limit of 260°C.

4. How do I ensure a leak-proof connection?
The hose features M38x1.5 connections according to DIN standards. Ensure that the mating adapters on your Huber unit or application also follow these specifications and are tightened to the recommended torque.

5. Is this hose suitable for vacuum applications?
While designed primarily for pressurized circulation (up to 10 bar), the braided reinforcement provides structural stability. For specific high-vacuum requirements, please consult the technical manual or contact support.
