The right hose with the right end connections keeps a process performing safely and cost-effectively. At Swagelok, we offer a wide range of hose and flexible tubing products for a variety of fluid handling system needs. In fact, we offer 22 different hose types with 89 different end connections, giving you an almost endless number of solutions for a wide variety of applications. Depending on your specific application, we can assemble metal, PTFE, PFA, vinyl, nylon, polyethylene, and rubber core hoses, as well as flexible metal tubing, to be compatible with your system fluids and fulfill your requirements. We’re fully stocked with bulk hose and connections, protective covers, and tagging options at nearly 40 assembly and test centers around the world.
Offering quick turnaround times, we can handle custom fabrications from small and simple to large and complex, many times on the same day you place your order. Count on us to meet your hose supply needs. As part of our custom fabrications, we offer all of our hose products to be cut to the lengths you need to complete your assembly requirements. Our precisely engineered assembly options include a large range of end connections to best suit your specific application. Visually and dimensionally, we inspect each end connection to make sure it passes the strict Swagelok quality requirements. Every hose is pressure tested with water to ensure proper assembly and high performance. A pressure test certificate is then packaged with each hose. The rigorous assembly process and 100% testing ensure you receive a high-quality, reliable hose. Tagging hoses simplifies record-keeping and helps you meet safety requirements. Tags help you with asset management, including type and material of hose, fluid contents, installation dates, testing dates, maintenance schedules, and more. Perma tags are one of the most robust tagging options available. They can have up to five lines of information and have a silicone cover that is bonded to the hose to protect it from the operating environment. It’s easy to read, making identification of the hose fast and simple when there’s a need to replace it. Perma tags are unaffected by most cleaning methods, such as clean-in-place, CIP, sterilization-in-place, SIP, and autoclaving. To help meet your specifications, we also offer lanyard tags, clamp tags, and mat tags. Before shipping, we clean and either cap or bag the hose to ensure contaminants are not introduced into your fluid system from the hose. All you have to do when you receive the hose is install it. Swagelok values each and every customer. And remember, every hose is a custom length, and you can mix and match end connections, all with a fast turn time.
