Teflon® Stainless Steel Braided Lightweight Hose - 550 Series

The Speedflow 550 Series Light Weight hose has a carbon impregnated anti-static inner tube that is manufactured with a smooth bore and convolutions on the outside of the inner tube, which allows for improved flexibility. Being a smooth bore hose, there are no voids that create turbulence or trap debris as commonly found with a fully convoluted hose.

This hose has a higher resistance to permeation than a standard smooth bore PTFE hose thanks to the unique manufacturing process which highly compresses the PTFE matrix ensuring a non-porous structure. This makes the hose compatible with all automotive fluids includes fuels such as E85 along with refrigeration gases - perfect for AC lines.

The majority of angled hose ends that suit this hose are made from Speedflow's unique one piece formed bend that offers the most compact hose ends on the market with exceptional strength and allows Speedflow to achieve weights comparable to other industry leaders for light weight systems. 

The Stainless Steel Braid is made from 304 stainless steel and offers a much tighter bend radius along with full vacuum rating below 130°C and protects the PTFE liner against internal pressure and mechanical abuse.

This hose is vacuum resistant up to 130° (266°F).

Temperature Range: -70°C (-94°F) to 180°C (356°F)

Working pressure rating will reduce by 1% per 1°C at temperatures above 160°C up to a maximum of 260°
