Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Steam is dangerous, so use only hose, couplings and clamps that are rated for steam service and rated for the same pressure and temperature as the hose, and follow Dixon's assembly instructions. Pick the size from the flow you need and your fitting bore; the cover is pin pricked to let gas escape, so keep the hose away from places where leaks could be hidden.
