Designed to accommodate movement, absorb engine vibrations and reduce the stress on the exhaust system, the braided stainless steel flex pipe is a special type of flexible exhaust pipe. Unlike ordinary corrugated hoses, this style is designed with a stainless steel braid around the flexible inner tube to increase its durability and strength. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for high-performance or heavy-duty applications.

Main Features of Braided Stainless Steel Hose:
Stainless Steel Braid:
The braided outer layer is made of stainless steel wire to reinforce the internal flexible core. It can protect the interior from high temperature, abrasion and mechanical damage. In addition, this outer braid provides additional structural strength to prevent the hose from collapsing under pressure or high temperature.

Flexible Inner Core:
The inner core helps relieve pressure from the exhaust system, allowing slight movement without breaking or damaging other components.
The inner core is usually stainless steel, sometimes also corrugated or braided metal tube, which allows the hose to flex and move with engine vibration, thermal expansion and chassis movement.

Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, making these pipes ideal for use in harsh environments, including automotive engines and marine applications.
Pressure Resistance: Braided steel adds extra strength, helping the pipes withstand high internal pressures without failure.
Heat Resistance: Stainless steel’s ability to withstand high temperatures makes these flexible pipes suitable for hot exhaust gases in automotive or industrial applications.

Common Uses:
Automotive: Braided hoses have the flexibility to absorb engine movement and vibration and are often used in exhaust systems of cars, motorcycles, and trucks. They can prevent rigid exhaust pipes from breaking.
Pipes: Flexible braided stainless steel pipes are often used in dishwashers, washing machines, and faucet connections for water, gas, and heating systems, as well as gas lines.
Industrial: These pipes are used for fluid and gas delivery where there is movement or vibration. They may be used for delivery in hydraulic systems.
Marine: In ships, they can be used to deliver fuel, exhaust gas, and water, ensuring reliable connections even in harsh marine environments.
It should be noted that stainless steel braided hoses are usually more expensive than ordinary plastic or rubber hoses due to their superior performance. Although more durable than ordinary hoses, they are more likely to fail if the inner core is not protected and exposed or damaged by wear and tear of the braided outer layer.
