Applications
Insulon Hose LP is designed to prevent over-engineering in low pressure fluid transfer applications. Download the data sheet for more details.
For high pressure applications, please see Insulon Vacuum Jacketed Hose, High Pressure (HP).
Semiconductor fabrication
Improve thermal efficiency for chillers, cryo-chillers, deposition lines, and temperature control units (TCUs)
High Temp Liquids & Gases
Insulon Hose LP features vacuum insulation that can be used at high temperatures
Cryogenic Fluid Transfer
Insulon Hose LP is designed for the transfer of liquid nitrogen, helium, argon, oxygen, and other cryogenic fluids
Liquid and Cryo-Compressed H2
Manufactured with fully-annealed stainless steel, Insulon hose provides insulation while combatting hydrogen embrittlement
Cable & Wire Harnesses
Cable and wire harnesses in high temperature environments need thermal insulation
Thermal Insulation Performance
Insulon Hose LP is designed for cryogenic and high temperature environments from -270 to 815°C (-454 to 1500°F). The charts below illustrate the thermal performance of a 1/2″ ID, 6-foot long Insulon Hose LP. The first chart highlights cryogenic insulation performance; the second chart highlights high-temperature insulation performance.

Features & Benefits
Thermal Insulation
Thermal energy is valuable. Insulon Hose LP is designed with advanced vacuum insulation to help you conserve this valuable resource. Save energy, reduce heat waste, and improve overall efficiency. Download the data sheet to view cryogenic and high-temperature insulation performance data.
Reduce Condensation
Proper thermal insulation helps reduce condensation on the outer surface of the hose. By limiting the accumulation of moisture, Insulon Hose LP helps prevent dripping, frost, corrosion, and the risk of mold growth.
Flexibility with Low Springback
Insulon Hose LP provides flexibility with low springback for reduced stress on connections, fittings, and joints. Download the data sheet for technical specifications including static bend radius.
Flame Retardant Materials
Insulon Hose LP is built with 316L stainless steel, a naturally flame-retardant material. Insulon Hose LP is engineered for thermal environments from -270°C to 815°C (-454°F to 1500°F). If you need vacuum jacketed tubing for higher temperature applications, please fill out our custom tubing request form.
Non-Fibrous Insulation
Fibrous insulation materials can be cumbersome to install, inspect, and maintain. They can become compressed over time, reducing their effectiveness as an insulator. They can also release fibers, causing problems with contamination and inhalation. Insulon Hose LP provides a non-fibrous insulation solution for cleanrooms and other sanitary environments.
FAQ — Vacuum Jacketed Hoses
- Are end fittings already attached?
Depending on the type of end fitting selected, the fitting will either be installed on the hose before shipment or will be delivered in-box.
End fittings that are installed before shipment:
- CGA-295 Brass
- JIC swivel nuts
- Other flared end fittings
- Flanges
End fittings that are shipped in-box:
- Compression unions
- Compression adapters (NPT, BSPT, etc.)
End fittings are an optional add-on. Insulon Hose may be ordered without end fittings, in which case they will be delivered with fully-weldable 316 stainless steel tube stubs.
- Are bulk discounts available?
Yes, bulk discounts are available for qualifying orders. Request a quote →
- Can vacuum jacketed hoses be ordered in longer sections and cut to length?
No, vacuum jacketed hoses cannot be cut to length after delivery. They must be ordered in the correct size. Insulon vacuum jacketed hose are available in lengths up to 20 meters (66 feet).
- What does LP stand for?LP stands for low pressure. Insulon Hose LP is engineered for low pressure fluid transfer applications. Select product diameter to view pressure rating. For high temperature applications (above 38 degrees Celsius), a pressure derating factor is applied. Contact us for assistance. Insulon Hose LP is available in two performance levels:
- Standard
- Multi-Layer Insulation (MLI)
- What does HP stand for?HP stands for high pressure. Insulon Hose HP is engineered for high pressure fluid transfer applications. Select product diameter to view pressure rating. For high temperature applications (above 38 degrees Celsius), a pressure derating factor is applied. Contact us for assistance. Insulon Hose HP is available in two performance levels:
- Standard
- Multi-Layer Insulation (MLI)
