Protectaflex

Flexible dual contained chemical dosing hose

Protectaflex is a flexible dual contained chemical dosing hose that will save you time and money compared to traditional pipe-in-pipe systems. It consists of a durable PU outer jacket, which is UV stable, and an inner hose in a choice of materials (reinforced PVC, LDPE, PTFE and TPV).

The main difference between Protectaflex and PF Detect is the leak detection system: Protectaflex uses system-designed catchpots, which enable the outer containment to be terminated inside the catchpot.

Features and Benefits

• Made from a light and supple material, and it relies on capillary action rather than gravity to work, meaning it can be installed almost anywhere and is easy to handle.
• Lightweight meaning lower shipping and storage costs. It is up to 48% lighter than traditional hose-in-hose systems
• Good flexibility and lower bend radius
• Easy to handle and install, for example, flexible hose can often be installed via a duct so there is no need for expensive and disruptive excavation works.
• Fittings can be swaged on, offering a comprehensive coupling, eliminating the risks of clips and the need for expensive bespoke dual contained fittings.  Only one standard hose tail fitting required per end.  (Click here to find out which hose tail you need Insert link)
• Hose can be delivered in continuous runs with no joints up to 500m, meaning you only require one fitting for each end on half a kilometre of hose
• Potential to have a continuous run of inner dosing hose, even with a catchpot
• Ideal for temporary lines as no catchpot is required
• Reduced packaging and fully recyclable resulting in a lower carbon footprint
• In tests, the PU outer did not distort when the inner hose burst
