With a minimum bending radius of 240 mm, the K-260-1.5-M38x1.5 offers the necessary flexibility for tight laboratory setups without compromising flow rates or safety. This hose is an essential accessory for Peter Huber high-performance systems like the Unistat series, ensuring reliable and secure fluid transport during critical temperature control cycles.

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 150cm length affect flow performance?
At 150cm, this hose provides a compact connection that minimizes the volume of thermal fluid outside the chiller and application, which can help improve the overall response time of the temperature control system.

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 on the internal braiding.

4. Is this hose compatible with M38x1.5 fittings on other brands?
While the thread size is M38x1.5, the connection follows specific DIN standards (DIN 3863/3870). It is always recommended to use Huber hoses with Huber equipment or verified compatible adapters to ensure a leak-proof seal.

5. What is the weight of this hose?
This 150cm model has a net weight of approximately 2.2 kg, making it easy to handle while still offering the durability of industrial-grade materials.
