Continental Contitech 20013344 Food Beverage Hose 4in Id

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20013344 is a clear PVC food and beverage transfer hose designed for sanitary fluid handling in food processing, brewing, dairy, and beverage dispensing applications. With a 4-inch inside diameter and 4.71-inch outside diameter, this hose handles high-volume liquid transfer where cleanliness and compliance are required. It carries a maximum working pressure of 35 psi and a vacuum rating of 29 InHg, making it suitable for both pressure and suction service. The hose is supplied in a 100-foot coil, sold and cut in 1-foot increments with a 5-foot minimum cut length. Installation is performed by food processing technicians, plant maintenance personnel, and plumbing contractors.

This hose is suited for residential and commercial food service environments, breweries, bottling lines, dairy operations, and general sanitary transfer systems. The clear PVC construction allows visual monitoring of flow without interrupting the line. The operating temperature range of -15 degrees F to 158 degrees F covers most ambient and warm-liquid transfer scenarios encountered in food plant and beverage production settings. Its 11-inch minimum bend radius supports routing through tight equipment layouts without kinking or flow restriction.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a sanitary transfer hose for food, beverage, and dairy fluid handling systems where 3A, FDA, and NSF-61 compliance is required. Suitable for use with compatible fittings and clamps sized for a 4-inch inside diameter hose.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified plumbing contractors or plant maintenance personnel familiar with sanitary piping systems and applicable codes such as the IPC and applicable 3A sanitary standards. Depressurize and drain the system completely before cutting, coupling, or replacing any hose segment. Use fittings and clamps rated for the hose outside diameter and the system working pressure. Avoid exceeding the 11-inch minimum bend radius to prevent internal flow restriction or premature hose failure.
