Specifically engineered for saturated steam applications, our 1W and 2W wire-braided hoses deliver exceptional heat resistance and safety.
Trust our 15 years of manufacturing expertise to provide durable, cost-effective solutions tailored for industrial high temperature and pressure fields, such as steam engines, boiler systems, chemical plants, petroleum refineries, etc., with many steam hose applications.
We offer two primary configurations of industrial steam hoses designed to handle saturated and superheated steam. Both series are built with premium EPDM rubber to ensure maximum heat resistance and longevity.
The 1W Steam Hose is engineered for versatility and ease of handling. Reinforced with a single layer of high-tensile steel wire, it provides excellent flexibility without compromising on safety. It is the ideal choice for industrial cleaning and heat control systems where maneuverability is key.
Key Features:
When your operations demand the highest safety margins, our 2W Steam Hose delivers. Featuring a double-braided steel wire reinforcemen. It offers enhanced burst pressure resistance and is built to withstand the “popcorning” effect often seen in inferior steam hoses.
Key Features:
Essential for sanitizing processing equipment, our EPDM-based hoses handle high-temperature steam safely. They meet the rigorous hygiene and safety standards required for commercial food and beverage production environments.
Our steam hoses are engineered for high-pressure cleaning in refineries and factories. The EPDM tube effectively handles saturated steam to remove stubborn grease and grime, ensuring a sanitized environment.
Designed for the rigors of chemical plants, these hoses safely convey high-temperature steam for heat control. Their durable construction resists harsh environments, providing reliable performance in volatile industrial settings.
Vital for rubber and plastic molding, our hoses provide consistent heat transfer for curing processes. They offer the thermal stability needed for precise temperature regulation across various manufacturing lines.
High-grade EPDM prevents "popcorning" and maintains integrity under constant saturated steam exposure.
High-tensile steel braids handle 250 PSI working pressure with 2500 PSI burst safety.
Reliable performance from -40℃ to +230℃ ensures safety during peak thermal loads.
Ozone-resistant EPDM covers guarantee long-term durability in demanding outdoor mining environments.
We understand that every industrial environment has unique demands. Beyond our standard specifications, Kingdaflex offers comprehensive customization services to provide the perfect fit for your equipment.
Match your safety branding or application coding with our custom color options, including high-visibility Red or professional Black EPDM covers.
While we offer standard industrial rolls, we can provide specific lengths to match your exact spatial requirements and reduce waste.
To simplify your procurement, we provide complete Steam Hose Assemblies featuring factory-crimped fittings, ensuring leak-free connections and immediate installation readiness.
We accept OEM and ODM requests to develop specialized hoses that meet your company’s proprietary technical standards.
The primary difference lies in the reinforcement layers and resulting pressure handling.
A Steam Hose 1W features a single high-tensile steel wire braid , offering greater flexibility for maneuverability in standard industrial cleaning.
The Steam Hose 2W utilizes two wire braids , providing superior burst resistance and structural stability for heavy-duty applications like mining or petrochemical processing.
Choosing between them depends on your system’s peak pressure requirements; while both handle saturated steam, the 2W variant offers a higher safety margin for extreme environments.
Steam applications present a unique challenge due to extreme heat and moisture.
Kingdaflex uses high-grade EPDM synthetic rubber for both the tube and cover because it offers exceptional resistance to heat, aging, and ozone degradation. Unlike standard rubber, EPDM maintains its flexibility and structural integrity at constant temperatures up to +230℃.
This specialized formulation prevents the tube from cracking or hardening, effectively eliminating the dangerous “popcorning” effect where internal rubber flakes off and clogs your steam systems9
In high-temperature steam service, gas can sometimes permeate through the inner tube and become trapped under the outer cover. Without a way to escape, this gas creates blisters that eventually lead to catastrophic hose failure.
Kingdaflex steam hoses are manufactured with a pin-pricked cover. This involves tiny, strategically placed perforations in the outer EPDM layer that allow trapped gases to vent safely.
For purchasing managers, ensuring your hoses are pin-pricked is a vital step in protecting operators and extending the service life of your equipment.
Safety is paramount when handling pressurized steam. Industrial standards, and Kingdaflex’s own rigorous testing, utilize a 10:1 safety factor—meaning the burst pressure is ten times the rated working pressure.
For instance, a hose with a working pressure of 250 PSI (17 Bar) is tested to withstand a burst pressure of 2500 PSI (170 Bar).
This high margin of safety is designed to protect personnel and machinery against unexpected pressure surges, ensuring reliable performance even in the most demanding mining and heavy-duty manufacturing environments
While specifically engineered for saturated and superheated steam, the high-grade EPDM construction offers broad chemical compatibility. These hoses are suitable for delivering hot and cold water and are often used in high-pressure washer jet applications.
However, they are not recommended for petroleum-based products or oils, which can cause EPDM to swell and degrade. For oil-related applications, we recommend our specialized NBR-based oil hoses. Always consult our technical team to ensure the hose material matches your specific medium for maximum safety.
Proper maintenance is key to maximizing your investment. Always avoid exceeding the rated temperature range of -40℃ to +230℃ and ensure the hose is not subjected to a bend radius tighter than specified in our technical tables.
Regularly inspect the outer cover for signs of abrasion or weathering Additionally, properly draining the hose after use prevents “water hammer” and internal condensation, which can lead to premature tube wear. Using high-quality steam hose assemblies with correctly crimped fittings further ensures long-term leak-free operation.
