Groen 147698 Condensate Return Hose 3/8 Inch Id

Product Description

The GROEN 147698 is a condensate return hose designed for use in commercial foodservice and steam equipment applications. With a 3/8-inch inner diameter, this hose carries condensate — the liquid formed when steam loses heat — back through the system. It is a direct replacement part sourced from GROEN, a manufacturer known for steam jacketed kettles, braising pans, and other commercial cooking equipment. Licensed service technicians and commercial kitchen equipment mechanics are the primary installers of this component.

This hose is intended for commercial steam cooking and heating equipment where condensate must be returned efficiently within the system. It fits into the plumbing and fluid-transfer circuit of GROEN appliances that generate steam as part of their operating cycle. The 3/8-inch ID sizing is a common specification in condensate return lines found in commercial kitchen environments.
