Features
■ Form-fit-and-stay, flexible, all-metal tubing.
■ 321 stainless steel annular convoluted core (M).
■ Size range of 1/4 through 1 1/2 in. and working pressures
up to 100 psig (6.8 bar).
■ Annealed material enables tubing to be compressed by at
least 15 % and extended up to 50 % of manufactured length.
■ Form-fit-and-stay capability of convoluted tubing can
compensate for misalignment and system reroutes
between static connections in vacuum or low-pressure
static applications.
