LV-1 Autoclave Hose

Manufacturer

Northern

Description

LV-1 Autoclave Hose is a total redesign of the LS series autoclave hose. Like the LS series, it is a high temperature, two-ply silicone rubber hose with a stainless steel inner liner and threaded brass fittings. The two-ply silicone outer jacket provides a soft, highly flexible vacuum tube with no harp edges or protrusions that could puncture vacuum bags. The steel
inner liner prevents hose collapse under autoclave pressures and resists damage caused by shop handling and use.

Application

LV-1 Autoclave Hose fittings were designed for use in autoclaves to relieve stress at the ferrule interface, to improve the rubber to fitting seal and to extend service life. Large wrench flat areas for quick and easy attachment to quick connects have also been added on the LV series fittings. The silicone rubber compound is produced using a proprietary manufacturing/extrusion process resulting in a more homogeneous jacket.
