SS304 Braided Hose, EPDM Potable-Water Inner Tube, 1/2 BSP Female x Female, 1.5 m

SS304 braided hose uses a woven stainless steel 304 grade wire exterior over an EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) inner tube. The stainless steel braid gives the hose its burst resistance and kink resistance under working pressure, while the EPDM inner tube is the layer that actually contacts the fluid running through the hose. For this specification, the EPDM inner tube is selected because EPDM is a rubber compound commonly used in potable water lines due to its resistance to chlorinated water, hot water, and long-term flexing without cracking. The stainless steel exterior does not touch the water; its job is purely mechanical, holding pressure and protecting the inner tube from abrasion, UV exposure, and physical damage during installation. This two-layer construction is why SS304 braided hose with an EPDM inner tube is specified for potable water transfer points rather than a plain rubber hose or a bare corrugated metal hose. Buyers comparing single braided and double braided versions of this construction are choosing between one layer of SS304 wire braid (standard pressure rating) and two overlapping layers (higher pressure rating, higher cost). For the 1/2 inch BSP female by female, 1.5 m specification covered on this page, single braid construction is the standard configuration supplied unless a project specifically calls for the higher pressure rating of a double braided version.

The 1/2 inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread is the connection standard specified on both ends of this hose, and female by female means both ends receive a male BSP fitting rather than threading directly onto a pipe. This matters during installation: a female by female hose assembly is used to bridge two existing male-threaded connection points, such as a pump outlet and a control valve, without needing an adapter on either side. The 1.5 m length is the overall assembly length measured end to end, including the crimped fitting collars, not just the flexible braided section. At 1.5 m, this length is typically specified for point-to-point connections within a single plant room or pump skid, such as linking a booster pump discharge to a header pipe, rather than for long transfer runs across a building. Getting the thread size, gender, and length correct before ordering matters because a BSP female fitting cut and re-threaded on site voids the factory pressure rating of the crimped assembly. Buyers who are unsure whether their existing connection point is BSP versus NPT (more common on some imported American-spec equipment) should confirm thread standard before placing an order, since BSP and NPT fittings look similar but are not interchangeable without an adapter.

This 1/2 inch BSP female by female, 1.5 m, SS304 braided EPDM hose is supplied on a quote basis; JOHOB Hardware Trading does not publish a fixed list price for this specification. Final price depends on order quantity, crimped fitting hardware selected, and current material cost at time of quotation. VAT-registered buyers in the Philippines are quoted inclusive of the standard 12% VAT. Buyers operating as PEZA or SBMA locators, or as registered exporters, are quoted at zero-VAT rating on presentation of the applicable certificate, consistent with JOHOB's standard commercial terms. Lead time on this specification follows JOHOB's standard bands: 21 to 35 days when supplied ex-stock, or 45 to 90 days if the order is made to order, for example a non-standard length or fitting combination outside this exact 1.5 m spec. Requests for quotation on this exact specification receive a response within 1 business day. Buyers preparing a purchase order or budget estimate should request a written quotation referencing the exact specification (SS304 braided, EPDM inner tube, 1/2 inch BSP female by female, 1.5 m) rather than relying on marketplace listings for similar hose, since fitting gender, thread standard, and inner tube material all change the price and the supplier's pressure rating guarantee.

The SS304 braid and EPDM inner tube used in this hose specification are sourced from an ISO 9001 certified partner factory, meaning the factory operates under a documented quality management system covering incoming material inspection, in-process checks, and finished-assembly testing. The hose assemblies are TUV SUD tested, which covers pressure and material performance testing before the product ships to the Philippines. JOHOB Hardware Trading does not manufacture the hose itself; JOHOB sources, imports, quality-checks on arrival, and supplies the finished assembly with local after-sales support and warranty handling based in the Philippines. This sourcing model is the same one JOHOB uses across its pumping, piping, and electrical panel categories: a vetted overseas manufacturer handles production under ISO 9001 and relevant third-party testing, while JOHOB handles local stock, RFQ response, delivery, and after-sales service so buyers are not dealing directly with an overseas factory for a single hose assembly. Buyers who need certificates of conformity or test reports for a specific purchase order, common for PEZA-registered projects or institutional procurement with technical compliance requirements, can request these as part of the RFQ process.

This SS304 braided, EPDM inner tube, 1/2 inch BSP female by female, 1.5 m hose is supplied nationwide across the Philippines, covering NCR, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, as well as PEZA, SBMA, and Clark locator zones. Typical use points for this exact specification are short, high-pressure connections within a plant room or pump skid: linking a booster or transfer pump discharge to a header pipe, connecting a pressure tank to a distribution line, or bridging a valve to a fitting where rigid pipe cannot absorb vibration or minor misalignment. Because the inner tube is EPDM and rated for potable water contact, this specification is appropriate for domestic or process water lines rather than for fuel, chemical, or steam service, which require a different inner tube material entirely. To order, buyers submit an RFQ specifying the exact thread size, gender, length, and quantity needed; JOHOB responds within 1 business day with a written quotation covering price, VAT treatment, and lead time. Buyers unsure whether this exact specification fits their application can reference the related guides on single braided versus double braided construction and on BSP thread identification before submitting an RFQ, to avoid ordering the wrong gender or thread standard.
