Sanitary Flexible Hose (9x13) - 3/8 "FF; 150cm IVAR.150201

Product detailed description

This sanitary flexible hose is commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing systems to connect fixtures such as sinks, basins, and urinals to the water supply. It is suitable for installations where flexibility and ease of connection are required, particularly in tight spaces or where alignment adjustments are necessary. The hose is typically used in potable water systems and is compatible with standard FF (female-female) threaded connections found in many European plumbing applications.

Its stainless steel braiding provides structural integrity and resistance to kinking, ensuring reliable performance in both new and retrofit installations. The hose is designed to handle the typical hydraulic conditions found in domestic and light commercial sanitary systems, making it a versatile component for plumbers and technicians working on water supply lines.

Technical parameters

Operating temperature	+90 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 10
Weight	0.246 kg
Code	150201150
Brand	IVAR

The operating temperature of +90°C means the hose is suitable for hot water supply lines, such as those connected to radiators or heated towel rails. The PN 10 pressure rating indicates it can handle up to 10 bar of pressure, which is standard for most domestic and light commercial plumbing systems. These parameters are essential for proper sizing and selection, ensuring the hose can withstand the expected operating conditions without failure.Installation and connection To install the hose, ensure the male and female threads of the fittings are clean and free of debris. Apply a suitable sealing compound or PTFE tape to the male thread before screwing it into the female fitting. The hose is available with internal female threads (FF) on both ends, making it suitable for connecting to fixtures and supply lines with matching threads. Check that the hose is not twisted during installation and that the connection is secure but not over-tightened, which could damage the threads or the hose itself. A common mistake is failing to use a sealing compound, which can lead to leaks over time.Compatibility and accessories This hose is compatible with standard FF-threaded fittings used in European sanitary systems. It is typically used in conjunction with ball valves, taps, and other components that feature 3/8 inch FF connections. No additional accessories are required for standard installation, but plumbers may choose to use sealing compounds or thread sealant tapes to ensure a leak-free connection. No related products are specified for this model.Technical background for designers The hose operates by allowing flexible movement between connected components while maintaining a sealed connection. The stainless steel braiding provides flexibility without compromising structural strength, making it suitable for installations where slight misalignment or movement is expected. The hose is designed for potable water systems and is certified for drinking water use. Its service life and efficiency are influenced by the operating temperature and pressure, as well as the quality of the installation and the condition of the connected fittings.Service and operation No specific service intervals are provided for this product. Routine checks should be performed to ensure the connection remains leak-free and that the hose is not kinked or damaged. If a leak is detected, the connection should be inspected and tightened or resealed as necessary. The hose should be replaced if it shows signs of wear, corrosion, or damage that could compromise its integrity.Frequently asked questions
