Flexible hoses can be divided into single-ended hoses, braided hoses, and shower hoses (shower hoses) according to their use. The single-head tube is mainly used for kitchen and bathroom hardware such as faucets and kitchen sinks. Its name comes from the outer teeth at one end, also called a pole. The single-head tube requires 304 stainless steel wire in the weaving, EPDM inner tube, and all copper fittings. Etc., braided pipe is divided into stainless steel and alloy wire (aluminum wire), and also divided into upper and lower grades. Shower pipes generally have 201 and 304 stainless steel braided, EPDM inner pipe, all copper fittings
According to the production process, the flexible hose can be divided into low, medium and high grades. The low-grade braided tube is made of aluminum wire with a relatively low-end wire diameter, iron nut, zinc alloy inner core, and rubber inner tube. The product with this configuration has a certain price advantage, but the grade is the lowest, and it is prone to problems such as water leakage and oxidation. The mid-range braided pipe is mainly made of 304 steel wire, EPDM material, and copper fittings. The applicable period is generally more than 5 years. High-end braided hoses have specific uses, such as flexible hose for water purifiers. It is generally required that the configuration of the mid-range is supreme. Common configurations include 304 stainless steel wire, food-grade silicone inner tube, food-grade PEX-B inner tube, 58-3 all-copper fittings, and silicone gaskets.
