Continental Contitech 20408872 Chemical Handling Hose Pex

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20408872 is a PEX-connection chemical handling hose designed for industrial fluid transfer applications. Constructed from polyethylene with a black outer finish, it handles working pressures up to 200 psi and maintains a minimum bend radius of 6 inches to prevent kinking during routing. This hose is sold in 1-foot increments with a 5-foot minimum cut length from a 100-foot total coil. It is typically installed by industrial maintenance technicians, plumbers, or fluid-systems specialists working with aggressive chemical media.

This hose is suited for use with industrial chemicals in commercial and industrial settings where a flexible, pressure-rated polyethylene hose is required. Its coupling-style fitting type allows for straightforward connection to compatible industrial fluid transfer systems. The 5-foot minimum order length makes it practical for both short runs and larger installations requiring custom cut lengths. Typical applications include chemical feed lines, transfer loops, and process piping connections in industrial facilities.

Compatibility

Designed for use with industrial chemicals as stated by the manufacturer. Verify chemical compatibility with the specific media being transferred before installation, as suitability varies by chemical concentration and temperature.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with industrial chemical handling systems and applicable safety codes. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before cutting or connecting the hose. Ensure the selected cut length accounts for proper routing without exceeding the 6-inch minimum bend radius. Use appropriately rated coupling fittings and confirm all connections are leak-free before returning the system to service.
