Arcflex Standard Annular Flexible Hose Range
European Super   Ultraflex Range

Medium Weight Annular Corrugated Tube

Arcflex stainless steel butt welded tube corrugated by a continuous process to suit general industrial applications. Its uniform profile of rounded corrugations makes this tube ideal for high volume production with continuous quality throughout.

Arcflex stainless steel butt welded tube corrugated into a low profile, close pitch hose by our unique continuous process for long length production, without the need for hose joins. This process enables a thinner thickness of strip, known to be much more difficult to weld and control in other processes, to gain a light highly flexible tube in a low profile form with many more corrugations.
