Rubber Fab’s convoluted PTFE hoses are manufactured with smooth, rounded, helical shaped convolutions which help promote easy cleaning and self-draining for high purity performance. These PTFE convoluted hose designs are lightweight and flexible, providing superior flex life and reliable handling in demanding environments. They are also available with 150# flange or Tri-Clamp style flare thru ends, providing 100% PTFE coverage on all wetted surfaces and compatibility with a wide range of PTFE hose fittings. For users seeking braided PTFE hose configurations, options are available to combine the advantages of a PTFE convoluted hose with external reinforcement for pressure stability. These convoluted PTFE hoses can be paired with PTFE hose fittings to ensure secure, leak-tight connections in sanitary and industrial systems.

PTFE hoses come in multiple styles and types to match specific process needs. Common styles include smooth bore hoses for streamlined flow and easy cleaning in sanitary systems; braided PTFE hose options that add stainless steel or polymer braid for higher pressure applications; rubber covered PTFE hoses that provide abrasion resistance and external durability; and corrugated or convoluted PTFE hoses designed for maximum flexibility and vibration dampening. Convoluted PTFE hoses are especially useful when tight bend radii and dynamic movement are required, while smooth bore choices are preferred for low pressure drop and minimal turbulence. With proper PTFE hose fittings, each style can be tailored to the exact connection and sealing requirements of your system, and a PTFE convoluted hose can be configured to meet both suction and discharge demands.

PTFE hoses are also categorized by application. For discharge service, smooth bore or braided PTFE hose products are often selected to maintain steady flow and pressure management. For suction service, a PTFE convoluted hose with a support helix or braid can prevent collapse under vacuum conditions. Chemical transfer uses typically benefit from convoluted PTFE hoses due to chemical resistance and flexibility; the use of appropriate PTFE hose fittings ensures leak-tight performance across aggressive media. Food and beverage applications rely on sanitary-grade smooth bore or convoluted PTFE hoses with cleanable, non-reactive surfaces, often paired with flare thru ends for full PTFE wetted paths. Hydraulic uses may call for braided PTFE hose for higher pressure capability, or specialized PTFE convoluted hose assemblies that accommodate pulsation and vibration while maintaining integrity. Across these categories, convoluted PTFE hoses provide consistent performance and compatibility with standard PTFE hose fittings.

Within Rubber Fab’s portfolio, multiple product lines address these needs. Convoluted PTFE hoses with stainless steel braid provide higher pressure ratings while preserving flexibility. Rubber covered variants add a protective outer jacket, useful in environments with abrasion or where a non-metallic exterior is preferred. Smooth bore assemblies offer low-turbulence flow for sanitary and high-purity requirements. Corrugated and convoluted PTFE hoses, offered with various PTFE hose fittings and end connections, excel in dynamic applications, tight spaces, and systems requiring frequent routing changes. Across these categories, our PTFE hose fittings are available in Tri-Clamp, 150# flange, and other standard connection styles to ensure compatibility and full PTFE coverage on wetted surfaces, whether you choose a braided PTFE hose or a PTFE convoluted hose configuration.

CTLP Hose

Rubber Fab’s CTLP is a PTFE convoluted hose designed for flexibility, self-draining, and high purity operation. It is suitable for chemical transfer, discharge lines, and general service where a convoluted profile is beneficial. When paired with PTFE hose fittings, CTLP assemblies deliver reliable sealing and compatibility with a wide range of media. Optional braided PTFE hose configurations increase pressure capacity while maintaining bendability. This makes CTLP a versatile solution across chemical, food/beverage, and light hydraulic applications where convoluted PTFE hoses are specified.

CTLP features smooth, rounded convolutions for cleanability and superior flex life. Available end connections include flare thru Tri-Clamp and 150# flange, ensuring 100% PTFE coverage on wetted surfaces. The hose can be supplied as a braided PTFE hose for added pressure reinforcement or as a rubber covered option for abrasion protection. In suction applications, CTLP’s design helps resist vacuum collapse, while in discharge service it supports consistent flow. Its PTFE convoluted hose structure provides vibration dampening and tight bend radii, minimizing stress on system components while working seamlessly with PTFE hose fittings.

Find a supplier of convoluted PTFE hoses

Rubber Fab supplies a full range of convoluted PTFE hoses, including smooth bore, braided PTFE hose, rubber covered, and corrugated options, all supported by compatible PTFE hose fittings. To source PTFE convoluted hose assemblies, contact Rubber Fab directly through our sales team or authorized distributors. We can assist with application selection for discharge, suction, chemical, food/beverage, and hydraulic uses and provide guidance on end connections, including Tri-Clamp and 150# flange flare thru ends. For customers seeking a trusted supplier of convoluted PTFE hoses, Rubber Fab offers comprehensive product support and quick-turn assembly services, ensuring that convoluted PTFE hoses and PTFE hose fittings are matched correctly for performance and compliance. Convoluted PTFE hoses differ from smoothbore hoses by using a corrugated profile for maximum flexibility and tight bend radii, making them ideal for vibration, vacuum, and dynamic routing, whereas smooth bore focuses on low turbulence and minimal pressure drop. Typical temperature capability for convoluted PTFE hoses spans from approximately -65°F to 450°F (-54°C to 232°C), depending on construction and braid, allowing these PTFE convoluted hose solutions to operate reliably in a wide range of environments.
