Continental Contitech 20013337 Food Beverage Hose 6 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20013337 is a clear food and beverage transfer hose designed for sanitary fluid-handling applications in commercial and industrial environments. With a 6-inch inside diameter and 6.63-inch outside diameter, this hose moves high-volume liquid product through food processing, beverage production, and similar regulated transfer systems. It handles a maximum working pressure of 47 psi and carries a vacuum rating of 29 InHg, making it suitable for both pressure and suction transfer lines. Licensed plumbing contractors, food-plant maintenance crews, and industrial pipefitters are the typical installers. The hose is sold in 1-foot increments with a 5-foot minimum cut length from a 100-foot total coil.

This hose is built for food-grade and beverage-grade transfer service where sanitary construction and temperature tolerance are required. It performs across a working temperature range of -15 degrees F to 158 degrees F, covering standard cold-storage and heated-process environments. The clear construction allows visual inspection of flow and product color without disconnecting the line. Typical installations include brewery transfer lines, dairy processing, bottling operations, and other FDA-regulated fluid-handling systems where hose contact with consumable product is expected.

Installation Notes

Installation of large-diameter food-grade hose assemblies is typically performed by licensed pipefitters or industrial maintenance technicians familiar with sanitary fitting standards. Shut down all upstream pumps and depressurize the line completely before connecting or disconnecting the hose. Inspect end fittings and clamps for cleanliness and proper seating prior to pressurizing the system. Verify that all wetted components in the assembly meet applicable food-contact regulations before returning the line to service.
