Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20013340 is a clear PVC food and beverage transfer hose designed for sanitary fluid handling in food processing and beverage production environments. It features a 1-1/2 inch inner diameter and a 1.88 inch outer diameter, with a maximum working pressure of 50 psi and a vacuum rating of 29 inHg. The hose measures 100 feet in length and maintains a minimum bend radius of 4 inches. Its transparent construction allows visual confirmation of flow and product integrity during operation. Licensed plumbers, sanitation technicians, and food plant maintenance crews are the primary installers of this hose type.

This hose is suited for light suction and pressure transfer of food-grade liquids, beverages, and other consumable products in both commercial and industrial food processing facilities. It performs across a wide temperature range, rated from -15 degrees F to 158 degrees F, making it appropriate for both ambient and moderately heated transfer lines. The clear PVC construction complies with 3A, FDA, and NSF-61 standards, which are required for food-contact applications in regulated processing environments.
