Peter Huber Hose Connection Tubing K-260-3-M30x1.5 Plastic, 300cm

The Peter Huber Hose Connection Tubing K-260-3-M30x1.5 is a high-performance industrial plastic hose designed for extreme temperature environments in laboratory and industrial thermoregulation. This 300cm (3 meters) tubing is engineered with integrated braiding for enhanced structural integrity and features specialized thermal insulation to minimize energy loss and ensure operator safety. Encased in a smooth silicone cover with ends secured by protective silicone caps, this hose provides a durable, easy-to-clean solution for connecting high-capacity temperature control units to reactors or other external applications.

Key Features:

• Brand: Peter Huber
• Temperature Range: Wide operating capability from -60°C up to +260°C
• Material: Industrial-grade plastic with protective braiding for high durability
• Connection: M30x1.5 thread (Sleeve nut according to DIN 3870, Ball socket according to DIN 3863)
• Length: 300 cm (3 meters) for extended reach in complex setups
• Insulation: Special thermal insulation with an additional smooth silicone outer hose and protective silicone end caps
• Pressure Resistance: Rated for a maximum pressure of 10 bar at 20°C and 6 bar at 260°C
• Nominal Width: DN 20 (Internal diameter: 20 mm)
• External Diameter: 51 mm
• Safety Standards: Fire rating UL94-HB for industrial compliance

This hose is ideal for connecting large-scale temperature control systems to reactors where significant distance must be covered without compromising thermal stability. Its flexible yet robust construction, with a minimum bending radius of 200 mm, allows for reliable routing while the specialized insulation protects against heat loss and prevents condensation at low temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the M30x1.5 connection size important?
M30x1.5 is a standard connection size for many medium-to-large Peter Huber Unistats. Using the correct thread size ensures a secure, leak-proof seal that can handle the high flow rates of the circulation pump.

2. What is the benefit of the 3-meter length?
The 300cm length provides the flexibility to position your temperature control unit further away from the application, which is often necessary in fume hoods or pilot plants where space is limited.

3. How does the silicone cover improve safety?
The smooth silicone outer layer protects the insulation from chemical spills and provides a safer surface to touch when the internal fluid is at extreme temperatures (up to 260°C).

4. Is this hose suitable for both heating and cooling?
Yes, the K-260 series is specifically designed to handle the thermal expansion and contraction associated with cycling between -60°C and +260°C.

5. Can this hose be used with silicone oil?
Yes, the industrial plastic material is highly compatible with standard Huber thermal fluids, including silicone oils, within the rated temperature range.
