38mm PVC Food Suction Hose Red/Clear

Thirty-eight millimetres is the cellar and dairy standard, and this is the colour-coded version of it: a clear PVC wall over a red helix, 46.1 mm on the outside, rated 0.8 MPa (116 psi) at 20°C. The bore is smooth, so it rinses out between products rather than trapping them in a corrugation. Stock code PSHRC038.

Key features

• 38 mm inside diameter, 46.1 mm outside diameter
• 0.8 MPa (116 psi) working pressure at 20°C
• -5°C to +60°C
• Clear wall PVC with a red PVC helix; phenol and phthalate free
• AS/NZS 2070, USA FDA CFR21 and EU 2002-72-EC
• 2 m to 15 m cut lengths or a 20 m coil

Applications

• Cellar pumps and barrel-to-tank transfer
• Brewery and cidery transfer lines
• Dairy plant where the hose is colour coded by product
• Cannery and juice processing suction and discharge

Compatibility and fitting

• Matches 38 mm pump ports without a reducer at the inlet
• Suction rated by construction: the helix keeps the bore open under vacuum, where a delivery hose of the same wall would flatten
• For a crimped assembly with sanitary ends see the 38mm beverage hose assemblies
• Camlocks make a moved hose quicker to change over: camlock couplings

Red helix or black helix?

The wall and the compound are what matter for the product; the helix colour is there so a pump room running several products can tell one line from another at a glance. If nothing needs colour coding, the black and clear version does the same job.
