321SS Braided Metal Hose Assembly — Female NPT x Grooved End

Description

The 321SS Braided Metal Hose Assembly – Female NPT x Grooved End provides a flexible transition between a female-threaded connection and a grooved mechanical piping system. The 321 stainless steel corrugated hose absorbs vibration, minor misalignment, and controlled movement, while the 304 stainless steel braid reinforces the pressure boundary.

Key Features

• 321 stainless steel corrugated hose core
• 304 stainless steel single-braid reinforcement
• Female NPT connection on one end
• Grooved pipe end on the opposite end
• Hose IDs: 2", 2½", 3", and 4" (2" configurable online; 2½" through 4" require RFQ and engineering review).
• Overall length: 12"–240" in 0.5" increments

Applications

Typical uses include female-threaded equipment outlets, pump connections, grooved piping tie-ins, HVAC and hydronic systems, process piping, vibration isolation, and controlled movement absorption.

Engineering Review

Final suitability depends on hose ID, operating pressure, temperature, media, movement, minimum bend radius, thread engagement, grooved-coupling compatibility, support conditions, and installation geometry. Do not install the assembly under torsion.

Ordering Notes

Select the required hose ID and overall length. The displayed price is reviewed before fabrication. Double braid, stainless grooved ends, alternate materials, special cleaning, pressure testing, tagging, material certificates, and documentation packages are available through RFQ.
