FFLSS - SS Braided Hose with Stainless Steel Fixed & Floating Flanges
FFL Braided Stainless Steel Hose has fixed and floating raised face flanges. Years ago, almost all stainless steel hose was manufactured with a floating flange on one end. It is still important because it makes lining up the holes easier during installation, and eliminates the possibility of twisting the hose, when the holes do not line up. Twisting contributes to early failure.
Raised face flanges seal better. Most competitive plate flanges have flat faces to reduce machining costs, but the raised face is the better product as sealing pressure increases by factors of 2 & 3 because of the reduced gasket area.
All of our stocked flanged hose has one floating flange.
