Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the "K-260" series preferred over standard tubing?
The K-260 series is specifically designed for a very broad temperature range (-60 to +260°C) and higher pressures. Its specialized insulation and silicone cover make it safer and more efficient than non-insulated or low-temperature plastic hoses.

2. Does the 200cm length provide a good balance for laboratory use?
Yes, 2 meters is a highly popular length as it provides enough reach to connect floor-standing units to reactors on a bench or inside a fume hood without excessive slack that could cause tripping hazards or thermal loss.

3. How do I maintain the silicone outer cover?
The smooth surface is designed to be wiped down easily with standard laboratory cleaning agents. This prevents the accumulation of dust or chemical residues that can occur on exposed braided hoses.

4. Is this hose compatible with M30x1.5 fittings on all Huber units?
While the thread size is M30x1.5, it is specifically designed for units that utilize this standard, such as many Unistat models. Always verify the connection size on your specific Huber unit before ordering.

5. What is the benefit of the silicone end caps?
The silicone caps secure the insulation and cover at the connection point, preventing the internal insulation from fraying and ensuring a clean, professional finish that resists wear and tear.
