Nuaflex Vibration Hoses are specialized corrugated flexible metal assemblies meticulously engineered to solve one of the most persistent and damaging challenges in mechanical systems: vibration. Designed to protect downstream airways and critical piping networks, these hoses act as essential dampeners, absorbing shock and accommodating pipe movements and offsets.

By isolating vibration at its source, Nuaflex hoses prevent mechanical fatigue, dramatically reduce noise, and significantly extend the lifespan of expensive equipment.

Core Function and Applications

The primary purpose of a Nuaflex Vibration Hose is to isolate and eliminate the transmission of vibration in mechanical and refrigeration piping systems. They are particularly effective when installed near high-vibration equipment, such as compressors, pumps, and engines.

• Vibration Absorption: When installed at the inlet and outlet of a refrigerant compressor or pump, these hoses prevent damaging vibrations from migrating to the rest of the piping network.

• Stress Reduction: By absorbing shock and mechanical stress, they relieve pressure on rigid pipe joints, preventing cracks, leaks, and costly failures.

• Movement Accommodation: They are expertly designed to accommodate thermal expansion, contraction, and structural settlement movements within the system.

• Noise Elimination: The effective isolation of vibration leads to a significant reduction in the operational noise generated by mechanical piping in various industrial and commercial applications.
• Corrosion Resistance: The all-stainless steel construction makes them the ideal choice for applications requiring high durability and resistance to corrosive media and environments.

Key Product Features

Nuaflex Vibration Hoses are manufactured to exacting standards to guarantee exceptional reliability in critical refrigeration, HVAC, and industrial applications.

• Robust Construction: Features a corrugated stainless steel core reinforced with a high-tensile stainless steel braid, delivering the perfect balance of maximum strength and dynamic flexibility.

• Copper Tube Ends: Equipped with high-quality copper tube ends that are TIG welded to the hose, ensuring a secure, hermetically sealed connection compatible with standard refrigeration piping.

• Wide Sizing Range: Sized to fit O.D. (Outer Diameter) measurements from 3/8″ through 4″, accommodating a broad spectrum of system requirements.
• Precision Manufacturing: Every component is checked and inspected at multiple phases of assembly, with ends accurately sized for perfect fitment and easy brazing.

The Nuaflex Advantage

Choosing Nuaflex is an investment in quality engineering and long-term reliability. Our vibration hoses offer distinct advantages for system maintenance, performance, and longevity.

• Refrigeration Ready: Every unit is thoroughly cleaned and dehydrated specifically for refrigeration service, ensuring no moisture or contaminants can enter your sensitive system.

• Rigorous Testing: Each hose assembly undergoes a complete physical and chemical analysis of its components and is pressure vacuum tested to guarantee absolute integrity.

• Sealed for Purity: After final testing, cleaning, and dehydration, each unit is individually sealed in plastic film to maintain its pristine, installation-ready condition.

• TIG Welded Integrity: The critical connection between the stainless steel hose and copper tube ends is achieved through TIG welding, creating a superior, durable bond that is far more reliable than other joining methods.
• Maintenance Reduction: By protecting the entire system from the damaging effects of shock and vibration, Nuaflex hoses are the perfect solution for “expensive maintenance” applications where equipment failure would result in significant downtime and cost.
