Stainless Steel Braided Hose / Flexible Metal Hose
MW Components offers the highest quality metal braided hose in the industry. Our flexible braided hose is designed for high-pressure applications. It provides the protection needed for the convoluted inner hose to withstand high pressure and for vacuum or partial pressure applications requiring protection from hazards. Our stainless steel braided hose can be found on NASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover, on still-in-development commercial spacecraft, and in countless other applications.
Corrugated stainless steel braided hose is generally used in high-pressure and high-velocity applications to eliminate vibrations that otherwise could cause damaging effects to surrounding components. MW Components produces Inconel braided hose and titanium braided hose in addition to stainless steel braided hose for these and other demanding applications. Our metal braided hose is produced through Hydroforming Technology.
CUSTOM MANUFACTURING
