Whatever the application, the performance, reliability and durability of your hoses is paramount. Fluid transfer hoses are essential for maintaining the efficiency of your operations.

The expert Pacific Hoseflex team understands the importance of hoses in various applications and offers a range of braided hoses designed to provide maximum durability and flexibility.
Let’s explore the benefits of braided hoses and why they are a popular choice for so many industries in Australia and worldwide.

What are braided hoses?

Braided hoses are one of the most common types on the market. Their construction consists of a flexible convoluted inner core, normally made from stainless steel, then a layer of braided stainless steel on the outside.

Braided hoses are available in various lengths, widths and braid sizes, allowing you to choose a customised hose for the application. This braided layer of stainless steel provides extra strength and protection, which enables the hose to withstand high temperatures and extreme pressure.

Our Vitalflex® stainless steel braided hose is a popular choice and the most recognised and high performance hose in the industry.
