Insulon Hose Standard is the more compact, lightweight, and flexible hose option within the Insulon Vacuum Jacketed Hose line, the most versatile VJ hose line on the market. Designed for applications where space, weight, and cost are primary constraints, the Standard configuration delivers high performance vacuum insulation in a compact and flexible design. (When maximum thermal performance is required, Insulon Hose with MLI is available.)

Applications
Semiconductor Chillers
Insulon Hose Standard is ideal for chiller applications from -20C to -80C. (For cryo-chillers or fluid temperatures at -100C or below, see Insulon Hose with MLI.)
Process Heating and Cooling
Available with metric (M16, M24, M30, and M38) end fittings ideal for connections to process heating and cooling equipment from leading manufacturers.
Cryogenic Dispensing
Insulon Hose Standard is ideal for cryogenic dispensing and other intermittent cryogenic transfer applications. (For continuous cryogenic transfer, see Insulon Hose with MLI. )
Thermal Insulation Performance
Insulon Hose Standard is optimized for fluid temperatures from -80Ā°C to 250Ā°C. For applications across the full Insulon Hose operating temperature range (-270Ā°C to 815Ā°C / -454Ā°F to 1500Ā°F), engineers can specify Standard where outer diameter envelope, weight, flexibility, or cost are the governing design constraints. Thermal insulation data for a 1/2″ ID, 6-foot Standard Insulon hose is shown below.

Features & Benefits
Thermal Insulation
Insulon Hose Standard is engineered with proprietary vacuum insulation to help conserve thermal energy, reduce heat waste, and improve overall efficiency. (For maximum thermal insulation performance, see Insulon Hose with MLI.)
Reduce Condensation
Proper thermal insulation helps reduce condensation on the outer surface of the hose. By limiting the accumulation of moisture, Insulon Hose Standard helps prevent dripping, frost, corrosion, and the risk of mold growth. (For maximum reduction in condensation, see Insulon Hose with MLI.)
Flexibility with Low Springback
Insulon Vacuum Jacketed Hose provides flexibility with low springback for reduced stress on connections, fittings, and joints. View the product catalog for technical specifications including minimum static bend radius.
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 provides a non-fibrous insulation solution for cleanrooms and other sanitary manufacturing environments.
FAQ ā 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 ā
- 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)
Custom Vacuum Insulated Tubing:
Does Insulon Hose not meet your requirements? Insulon vacuum insulation is also engineered into custom vacuum jacketed hoses, piping, and bend-to-shape tubing, among other geometries. Custom projects are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Flexible Tubes & Hoses
High-performance insulation, small bend radius, and easy installation. Flexible vacuum insulated tubes withstand vibration and other mechanical stresses.
Bend-to-Shape Tubing
Field-bendable tubing that holds its shape. Adjust to your desired form, and our bend-to-shape tubes stay in position while delivering high-performance insulation.
Small-Bore & Miniature Tubing
Small-diameter and miniature vacuum jacketed tubes for compact and space-constrained systems. Ultra-thin design and ultra-high performance.
Straight, Rigid Piping
Rugged, durable vacuum insulated tubes and pipes for cryogenic and high temperatures. Option to include multi-layer insulation to reduce radiation heat transfer.
