SOFTPEX
®
– setting the benchmark.
Connecting hoses are a key water supply component for faucets, washing
machines, fridges etc. With a 0 % failure rate since its market launch more
than ten years ago, the SOFTPEX
®
inliner with its tried and tested material
mix is a product you can count on.
Continuous development is our guiding principle, which is why the latest
SOFTPEX
®
hose generation combines proven and innovative solutions such
as reduced dimensions, higher flexibility and simplified installation. In
addition, the optimized crimping technology enables an easy installation in
very confined environments. Its outstanding tensile strength adds to the
dependability of the latest SOFTPEX
®
connecting hose generation.
Batch tracking
Each SOFTPEX
®
hose has a marking on the sleeve to indi-
cate its production location. Moreover, for each hose the
component lots can be traced.
All hygienic approvals worldwide
Around the world, the SOFTPEX
®
inliner has been granted
all hygienic drinking water approvals; it is microbiologically
pure and maintains drinking water quality in terms of
appearance, smell and taste.
All mechanical approvals worldwide
Any mechanical approval around the world can be achieved
by the SOFTPEX
®
hose, with the combination of brass alloy,
braiding and flow rate tailored to meet the specific require-
ments.
Increased flexibility
By optimizing the hose diameter, flexibility has been
significantly increased.
New: optimized dimensions / diameter
Thanks to the new outer hose diameter (from 10.8 to 9.8 mm
for the DN6, M8) 15 % less space is required in the faucet
(value applies to using two hoses). Moreover, the optimized
interfacing geometry enables an easy installation.
Excellent chemical resistance
Inliner with strong resistance against additives in drinking
water such as chloramines and chlorides.
Norm flow rates acc. to EN 13618
Exceeds flow rate required for EN 13618 despite smaller
inner diameter.
BOOSTCRIMP
®
technology–integrated innovation
The BOOSTCRIMP
®
technology enables the optimization of the hose to
increase flexibility while keeping the flow rate requirement level. At the
same time, boostcrimping is a quality hallmark for a safely crimped hose.
Available in DN6 and DN8.
