Dixon A41002520 25 mm x 20 m Rubber UHMW Polyethylene Chemical Hose

This Dixon hose has an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) tube, a smooth blue EPDM-blend cover and a double wire helix with an antistatic copper wire, and it is mandrel built (manufacturer-stated). It is a suction and discharge hose for chemicals and for food and drink liquids.

Dixon's industrial hose catalogue rates the range at 150 PSI (10 bar) working pressure and 600 PSI burst, for -40°C to 100°C, with steam cleaning without pressure up to 130°C for a maximum of 30 minutes (manufacturer-stated). This listing covers the 25 mm (1 in) and 51 mm (2 in) hose, each as a 5 m cut length and a 20 m coil.

Common specifications

Key specifications

Figures are from Dixon's industrial hose catalogue, which prints one set of ratings per size for both the cut length and the 20 m coil part number. The catalogue ID is 25.4 mm and 50.8 mm; the store size options round these to 25 mm and 51 mm.

Selecting the right option

Match the tube to your chemical first: UHMWPE suits many chemicals, but always check the specific product, concentration and temperature. Dixon's catalogue figure for vacuum on this hose is not clear enough to publish, so confirm the vacuum rating with Dixon before using it on a suction line. Dixon's Hygienic Product Range catalogue states a minimum cut length of 5 m, and charges apply for cutting hose (manufacturer-stated). Choose the 20 m coil to avoid cut charges on longer runs.
