Product Category

According to the production process, braided hose can be divided into three categories: low, medium and high quality.

Low-grade braided hose is made of aluminum wire, iron nut, zinc alloy inner core and rubber inner tube with relatively fine wire diameter at the lower end. The product with this configuration has a certain price advantage, but its grade is the lowest, and it is prone to water leakage, oxidation and other problems.

Medium-grade braided pipes are mainly made of 304 steel wire, EPDM material and all-copper fittings. The applicable period is generally more than 5 years.

High-grade braided hose has specific uses, such as water purifier braided hose. The general requirement is to put the middle configuration first. The common configurations are 304 stainless steel wire, food-grade silicone inner tube, food-grade PEX-B inner tube, 58-3 all-copper fittings, silicone gasket, etc.

The braided hose can be divided into single-nut hose, braided hose and shower hose according to its use. Single-nuthose are mainly used for kitchen and bathroom hardware such as faucets and vegetable washbasins. Her name derives from the fact that there are external teeth at one end, also known as poles. Single-nuthose require 304 stainless steel wire, EPDM inner tubes, and accessories are all copper. Braided hose can be divided into stainless steel and alloy wire (aluminum wire), which can also be divided into upper and lower parts. Shower tubes generally have 201 and 304 stainless steel braids, EPDM inner tubes, and all copper fittings. “Shower hose are generally made of 58-3 copper fittings, EPDM inner tubes, which are made of 201 and 304 stainless steel braids. Of course, they also include high-end all-copper braids and stainless steel gold-plated products, which are relatively high-end products in braided hoses
