Continental Contitech 20408873 Chemical Handling Hose 200 Psi

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20408873 is a polyethylene chemical handling hose rated for a maximum working pressure of 200 psi. Built for industrial chemical transfer applications, it is constructed from polyethylene to resist degradation when exposed to a broad range of industrial chemicals. The hose features a black outer cover and an 8-inch minimum bend radius, making it suitable for routing in confined spaces without kinking. It is sold in 1-foot increments with a 5-foot minimum cut length, supplied from a 100-foot total coil. Licensed plumbers, industrial pipefitters, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this type of hose in process and plant environments.

This hose is designed for use in industrial chemical service applications where a flexible, pressure-rated transfer line is required. Typical installations include chemical dosing systems, transfer lines between storage tanks and process equipment, and industrial plant maintenance setups. The polyethylene construction provides resistance to many common industrial chemicals. Its black color and compact coil format make it easy to handle and store on job sites. The 1-foot increment pricing allows technicians to order precisely the run length needed, reducing waste on custom installations.

Key Features

• 200 psi maximum working pressure for demanding chemical transfer service
• Polyethylene hose material offers broad chemical resistance
• 8-inch minimum bend radius supports flexible routing without kinking
• Sold in 1-foot increments with a 5-foot minimum cut length
• 100-foot total coil length per unit
• Black outer cover for visual identification in industrial settings

Compatibility

Designed for use with industrial chemicals in process piping and chemical transfer applications. Verify chemical compatibility with polyethylene before installation, as resistance varies by chemical concentration and temperature.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, plumber, or industrial maintenance technician familiar with chemical handling systems. Shut off all flow and depressurize the line before cutting or connecting the hose. Confirm that all fittings and couplings are rated at or above the system working pressure. Follow applicable safety data sheet guidelines for the chemicals being transferred, and use appropriate personal protective equipment during installation.
