Flexible Metal Hose Product Range
Strip-Wound Flexible Metal Hoses
Strip-wound hoses are manufactured by helically winding a preformed metallic strip around a mandrel. Depending on the required flexibility, mechanical strength and leakage control, the hose can be produced with a square-lock or double-interlock profile.
Packing materials such as copper wire, rubber or yarn may be incorporated into selected constructions when controlled leakage performance is required.
Available options include:
- Square-lock flexible metal hose
- Double-interlock flexible metal hose
- Packed and unpacked constructions
- Round and polygonal cross-sections
- Stainless steel, zinc-plated steel or brass construction
- Standard coils and custom-cut lengths
- Hoses supplied with or without end connectors
Strip-wound metal hoses are suitable for applications requiring excellent flexibility, mechanical protection and resistance to compression or external impact.
Corrugated Stainless Steel Flexible Hoses
Corrugated metal hoses are manufactured from thin-wall metallic tubes formed into annular corrugations. The corrugated construction provides flexibility while allowing the hose to accommodate pressure, vibration and movement.
For increased pressure resistance and mechanical protection, the hose can be supplied with a single or double stainless steel wire braid.
Common material options include:
- SS 304 stainless steel
- SS 321 stainless steel
- SS 316 stainless steel
- Single-braid construction
- Double-braid construction
- Unbraided corrugated hose
- Custom fabricated hose assemblies
Corrugated stainless steel hoses are recommended where flexibility, pressure resistance and low-leakage performance are important.
Braided Flexible Hose Assemblies
Blueline supplies fabricated flexible hose assemblies with end connections selected according to the equipment and piping arrangement.
Available connection options may include:
- BSP or BSPT male threaded ends
- Female threaded unions
- NPT male threaded ends
- Fixed flanges
- Swivel flanges
- Weldable pipe ends
- Butt-weld connections
- Angular elbow connections
- Custom-designed end fittings
The hose material, braid construction, fittings and assembly length should always be selected according to the operating media, pressure, temperature and movement.
Flexible Interlock Conduits
Flexible interlock conduits provide mechanical protection for electrical cables, capillary tubes, telephone cords and other sensitive components.
Available constructions include:
- Square-lock flexible conduit
- Double-interlock flexible conduit
- PVC-covered flexible metal conduit
- Stainless steel braided conduit
- Packed flexible conduit
- Flexible conduit connectors
- Single-side and double-side conduit saddles
The appropriate conduit profile depends on the required tensile strength, bend radius, compression resistance and environmental exposure.
Flexible Exhaust Hoses
Flexible exhaust hoses are designed to accommodate vibration, thermal expansion and equipment movement in exhaust systems.
Available options include:
- Round double-interlock exhaust hose
- Polygonal double-interlock exhaust hose
- Packed exhaust hose
- Automotive exhaust connectors
- Truck exhaust connectors
- Exhaust clamps
- Custom exhaust hose assemblies
Round exhaust hoses can be manufactured with packing to control gas leakage. Polygonal constructions may provide improved dimensional stability and lower leakage in certain applications.
Where completely leak-tight performance is required, a suitable corrugated metallic hose assembly should be selected after reviewing the operating conditions.
Suction and Blower Hoses

- Male-threaded adapters
- Weld-end adapters
- Hose-tail adapters
- Female-threaded couplers
- Male-threaded couplers
- Dust caps
- Dust plugs
- Hose nipples
- Flanged connections
Material options can include stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminium alloy and brass. Sealing gaskets may be selected from nitrile, EPDM, silicone or FKM/Viton, depending on the media and service temperature.
Available Sizes and Lengths
Flexible metal hoses and conduits are available in a wide dimensional range, subject to the selected construction.
Typical availability includes:
- Diameters from approximately 4 mm to 350 mm
- Standard coils of 10, 15, 20 or 30 metres

Why Choose Flexible Metal Hoses?
Flexible metal hoses offer several advantages over rigid piping in applications involving movement or vibration:
- Accommodate equipment vibration
- Absorb limited piping movement
- Compensate for thermal expansion
- Reduce stress on connected equipment
- Provide flexible routing in restricted spaces
- Resist higher temperatures than many non-metallic hoses
- Provide mechanical protection
- Available with customized fittings
- Suitable for industrial and outdoor environments
- Available in corrosion-resistant stainless-steel grades
A flexible hose should not be used to correct major piping misalignment. Correct installation and an appropriate bend radius are essential for reliable service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a flexible metal hose?
A flexible metal hose is a metallic tube or helically wound strip designed to provide flexibility between equipment and piping. Depending on its construction, it can accommodate vibration, pressure, movement, temperature and mechanical exposure.
What is the difference between strip-wound and corrugated metal hoses?
Strip-wound hoses are manufactured from helically wound metal strips and are commonly used for mechanical protection, exhaust, suction and conduit applications. Corrugated hoses are formed from thin-wall metallic tubes and are generally more suitable for pressure and low-leakage fluid-transfer applications.
Why is stainless steel braid added to a corrugated hose?
Stainless steel braid helps restrain the hose under internal pressure and protects it against mechanical damage. Higher-pressure applications may require double braiding, subject to engineering verification.
