    • Other flared end fittings

  • No, adding an outer braid does not affect the pressure rating. Insulon® Vacuum Jacketed Hose include the option to add an outer braid to provide additional protection against abrasion. For example, in an application where the hose will be repeatedly dragged across a concrete floor, adding an outer braid is recommended.
