Flexible Efficiency for Modern HVAC Systems

Nuaflex Fancoil Hoses are engineered to deliver superior performance and installation efficiency for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) applications. As a flexible, structured hose assembly, they provide a reliable, vibration-free connection between main lines and terminal units, eliminating the need for complex and time-consuming rigid piping. Our hoses are built to meet international standards, offering a cost-effective and durable solution for modern building infrastructure and industrial plants.

Core Function and Innovative Design

The primary purpose of Nuaflex Fancoil Hoses is to facilitate quick, safe, and silent connections for fan coil units and other HVAC equipment. Their highly flexible structure allows for effortless installation in tight, constrained spaces where rigid piping would be impractical.

  • Hose Type: Standard corrugated metal hose manufactured in compliance with DIN EN ISO 10380 standards.
  • Construction: Engineered to be highly resistant to pressure spikes and thermal cycling.
  • Configuration: Available with or without stainless steel braiding and with optional insulation.
  • Insulation: Optional rubber-based EPDM insulation prevents condensation (sweating) and minimizes thermal loss, enhancing system efficiency.

Materials:

  • Hose: Premium Stainless Steel AISI 316L (AISI 304 and 321 available upon request).
  • Braiding: High-tensile Stainless Steel AISI 304.
  • Fittings: Carbon Steel St.37.2 or Stainless Steel options.

Key Applications

While primarily designed for modern HVAC systems, the inherent versatility and durability of Nuaflex Fancoil Hoses make them a preferred choice for a wide range of demanding industrial environments.

  • HVAC Systems: The ideal connection solution for fan-coil units, heat pumps, air handling units, and general heating and ventilation setups.
  • Industrial Processing: Widely used in chemical and petrochemical plants, as well as oil and gas processing facilities where reliability is paramount.
  • Food & Beverage: Suitable for food processing applications that demand hygienic, cleanable, and durable fluid transfer solutions.
  • Heavy Industry: Robust enough for shipbuilding, drilling operations, and other heavy-duty mechanical systems.

Technical Specifications

Nuaflex ensures that every fancoil hose assembly meets rigorous technical demands to guarantee safety, performance, and an extended service life.

  • Extreme Temperature Range: Capable of operating in severe conditions from -270 °C up to 600 °C.
  • Vibration Control: The flexible, corrugated nature of the hose naturally absorbs vibration and operational noise, preventing it from transferring into the building structure or connected pipework.
  • Dynamic Flexibility: The design accommodates significant movement and offsets, protecting the system from thermal expansion and building settlement.

The Nuaflex Advantage

Switching to Nuaflex flexible hose solutions offers distinct advantages over traditional rigid connection methods, delivering value from installation to long-term operation.

  • Cost and Time Efficiency: Flexibility allows for a direct, stress-free connection between system components without needing extra elbows, cutting, or welding. This drastically reduces assembly time and associated labor costs.
  • Simplified Installation: Eliminates the need for precise pipe alignment, making installation in confined or awkward spaces quick and straightforward.
  • Extended Service Life: Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, Nuaflex hoses provide excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress, ensuring a long and reliable operational life.
  • Enhanced Safety: Provides a secure, factory-tested, leak-proof connection that can withstand high pressures and temperatures, boosting the overall safety and reliability of the HVAC system.
  • Acoustic Comfort: By effectively decoupling vibrating equipment from the building’s piping, the hose significantly reduces the transmission of unwanted operational noise, contributing to a quieter and more comfortable environment.
Why are flexible hoses used in fan coil unit (FCU) connections?

Flexible hoses are used in fan coil unit connections to absorb vibration, compensate for installation tolerances, and prevent stress on rigid piping systems.

Properly selected fan coil hoses reduce pressure losses, improve flow stability, and support efficient heat transfer within HVAC systems.

Yes. Nuaflex fan coil hoses are designed for use in both heating and cooling systems, including hot water and chilled water circuits.

Key factors include operating temperature, pressure rating, flow rate, hose material, and compatibility with system connections to ensure long-term performance and safety.
