EF — Elastomer Formed hoses are manufactured using an elastomer mandrel process to form the corrugations, achieving superior flexibility and tighter bend radii compared to mechanically or hydroformed hoses.
We are currently preparing detailed specifications and product information for the Series 12EF (Elastomer Formed | Medium Pitch) stainless steel corrugated hose. This page will be updated shortly.

MF (Mechanically Formed) uses mechanical drawing to create corrugations, providing standard flexibility suitable for most general-purpose applications. HF (Hydroformed) uses hydraulic pressure for formation, offering greater flexibility with tighter bend radius for confined installations. EF (Elastomer Formed) incorporates elastomer elements for enhanced flexibility and delivers maximum flexibility for the most demanding routing requirements.
Our stainless steel corrugated hoses operate from -270°C (cryogenic) to +700°C, covering virtually all industrial temperature requirements including cryogenic, steam, and high-temperature exhaust applications.
We offer SS 304, SS 304L, SS 316L, and SS 321 grades. SS 304 is standard for most applications. SS 316L offers superior corrosion resistance for chemical and marine environments. SS 321 is ideal for high-temperature applications.
The series differ in corrugation pitch which affects pressure handling and flexibility:
Series 11 (Standard Pitch): Widest corrugation spacing, offering the highest pressure capacity of the three. MF 11: 7-44 bar, HF 11: 10-58 bar.
Series 12 (Medium Pitch): Medium corrugation spacing — a balance of pressure capacity and flexibility. MF 12: 6-38 bar, HF 12: 8-52 bar.
Series 13 (Close Pitch): Finest corrugation for maximum flexibility and tight bend radius. MF 13: 5-32 bar. Ideal for applications requiring frequent bending and confined routing.
