Frequently Asked Questions

1. What makes the M24x1.5 connection size unique?
M24x1.5 is a standard connection size for many mid-range Peter Huber Unistats and Unichillers. It offers a balance between compact size and high flow capacity, suitable for a wide range of reactor volumes.

2. How does the 150cm length improve lab efficiency?
The 1.5-meter length is the "sweet spot" for many laboratory setups, providing enough distance to bridge the gap between a floor-mounted chiller and a benchtop application while keeping the external fluid volume low for faster heating and cooling.

3. Why is the silicone outer cover beneficial in chemical labs?
The non-porous silicone surface is highly resistant to many laboratory chemicals and is far easier to decontaminate than standard fabric-braided hoses, which can trap spills and odors.

4. Can this hose be used with high-temperature silicone oils?
Yes, the K-260 series is specifically designed to handle the chemical and thermal demands of high-performance silicone oils up to its maximum rating of +260°C.

5. What safety features are integrated into the design?
Beyond thermal insulation, the hose features protective silicone end caps that prevent the internal insulation from fraying and shield the user from the metal connection nuts which can become extremely hot during operation.
