SSP 316 Stainless Steel Braided Flexible Hose 1/2" NPT Male Female 24in 2ft

SSP 316 Stainless Steel Braided Flexible Hose 1/2" NPT Male Female 24in 2ft

This is a 24-inch (2-foot) flexible braided hose made from 316 stainless steel, fitted with a 1/2" NPT male end on one side and a 1/2" NPT female hex end on the other. The fittings are manufactured by SSP (SSP Fittings Corp), as stamped directly on the hex body, and the 316 stainless steel grade is also stamped on the female fitting. The flexible braided construction allows the hose to bend and route around obstacles while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant connection between threaded ports.

Applications

316 stainless steel braided flexible hoses are standard hardware in industrial, laboratory, and process piping systems where corrosion resistance, flexibility, and reliable threaded connections are required. The 316 alloy grade offers better resistance to chlorides and harsh chemicals compared to 304 SS, making these hoses common in chemical processing, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, semiconductor fab, and laboratory gas/fluid distribution systems. The NPT male-to-female configuration is used to connect two fixed threaded ports while allowing some positional flex, compensating for vibration, misalignment, or thermal expansion. SSP Fittings is a well-regarded U.S. manufacturer of high-purity and industrial stainless steel fittings and tubing assemblies.
