Continental Contitech 20013334 Food Beverage Hose 3 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20013334 is a clear food and beverage transfer hose designed for use in sanitary fluid-handling applications. With a 3-inch inside diameter and 3.48-inch outside diameter, this hose handles liquid transfer in food processing, beverage production, and related industries where FDA-compliant materials are required. It carries a maximum working pressure of 65 psi and a vacuum rating of 29 inHg, making it suitable for both pressure and suction service. The hose is sold in 1-foot increments with a 10-foot minimum cut length from a 100-foot coil.

This hose is intended for use in commercial and industrial food and beverage processing environments. It is well suited for transferring water, beverages, mild food-grade liquids, and similar media where FDA-compliance is required by plant or regulatory standards. The clear construction allows visual flow inspection during operation. Typical installers include pipefitters, maintenance technicians, and food processing facility personnel responsible for fluid transfer system assembly and maintenance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or maintenance technician familiar with food-grade fluid transfer systems. Depressurize and drain the system fully before disconnecting or replacing any hose segment. Do not exceed the rated working pressure of 65 psi or bend the hose tighter than the 12-inch minimum bend radius, as doing so may compromise hose integrity and create a safety hazard. Verify that all fittings and clamps used are also FDA-compliant and rated for the application.
