Peter Huber Metal Hose Connection Tubing, NW12 M16x1, 150cm

The Peter Huber 6085 is an ultra-high-temperature insulated metal hose designed for demanding thermoregulation tasks from -100°C up to 350°C. Featuring a nominal width of NW12 and M16x1 threaded connections, this 150cm flexible tubing is an essential upgrade for high-temperature reactors and distillation units. Constructed from premium 1.4404 stainless steel and protected by multi-layer insulation and a smooth silicone jacket, it ensures maximum heat retention and personnel safety in extreme laboratory environments.

This insulated metal hose is specifically optimized for high-performance temperature control units where thermal integrity and personnel safety are paramount. The integrated silicone cover ensures a non-porous surface that is easy to clean and resistant to aggressive laboratory chemicals. Its M16x1 fittings are compatible with Huber's Ministat, KISS, and smaller CC series, providing a vibration-resistant, leak-free connection capable of withstanding the high pressures of modern circulation pumps even at extreme temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is this hose rated for 350°C when standard NW12 hoses are only rated for 200°C?
The 6085 model uses upgraded internal stainless steel bellows and high-specification insulation materials that do not degrade at extreme heat levels, providing a much higher safety margin and operational range than standard hoses.

2. Can I use this hose for cryogenic cooling?
Yes, it is rated down to -100°C. The specialized multi-layer insulation is highly effective at preventing the formation of ice and frost on the exterior of the hose, keeping your laboratory workspace dry and safe.

3. How does the 150cm length affect my system's efficiency?
The 1.5-meter length is an ideal mid-range choice, providing enough slack for flexible routing without creating the excessive "dead volume" or significant heat loss associated with 3-meter hoses.

4. Is the silicone outer jacket easy to maintain?
Absolutely. The smooth surface is designed to be "wipe-clean," making it easy to remove any accidental spills of thermal fluid or chemicals, which helps prevent smoking or odors when the hose is heated to 350°C.

5. Will this hose fit my Huber Ministat or KISS unit?
Yes, as long as your unit is equipped with M16x1 outlets. It is a direct-fit upgrade for these series, offering a higher pressure rating (16 bar) than the standard 200°C rated hoses.
