TFE Hose
Parflex has a complete offering of TFE hoses. Whether you need a standard
smooth bore hose or the ultra flexibility of a convoluted hose; Parflex provides
both styles in a complete range of working pressures. Protective jackets for
fire protection and abrasion resistance are also available.
TFE is the preferred product for extreme applications. It’s wide
temperature range (-100 F to +450 F), chemical inertness (TFE is compatible with
most chemicals), and it’s purity (TFE is FDA approved for food contact and NSF
listed) make it the ideal choice where no other hose will work.
Available in 3/16" ID
through 2" ID, in smooth bore and convoluted styles. Parker TFE hose
can be supplied in certain sizes up to 4000 PSI. working pressure. A complete
array of end connections are available for all hoses.

Flexible
Metal Hose
The Parlex Division is excited to announce the addition of Flexible Metal
Hose to our product offering. Flexible metal hose enables us to provide you even
more options for solving your most extreme applications.
Through a unique process called Hydroforming Parflex is able to provide you
with the strongest most flexible hose available. Hydroforming imparts the
minimum amount of stress possible on the tube allowing it to exceed
international guidelines for cycle life. Hydroforming produces a hose unequaled
in flexibility.
Metal hose is the ideal product for extreme conditions where other hoses
fail. It has a wide temperature range up to 1,500° F and is frequently used for
the conveyance of liquid nitrogen. Metal hose also provides the lowest
permeation rate of any hose available. The stainless steel corrugated core tube
is resistant to many chemicals.

Parker Gas Piping (PGP™)
The basic component of Parker Gas Piping (PGP™) is corrugated, stainless
steel, tubing (CSST) covered with a polyethylene jacket. Along with the CSST,
the PGP system incorporates new Parflex FastMate™ quick connect fittings and
other Parker-manufactured metal components including manifolds, pressure
regulators, valves, termination outlets and protection devices.
Using standard tools, specially trained installers route the gas lines in a
parallel or series configuration to the different appliance locations within the
building. The flexibility of the system’s tubing allows fast, simple routing
through joists, around beams and past other obstacles. It’s as easy as
installing electrical cable.
This AGA/CGA design certified system is reliable and cost efficient. Parker
also provides training, so gas-utility and trade personnel meet certification
requirements ensuring reliable installation.
The lower installation costs of PGP can make a natural gas or propane (LP)
system even more appealing to your customers. It also offers speed and
simplicity of routing, safety, flexibility and economy over black iron pipe.
Tests by the Gas Research Institute proved a labor savings of 24% to 66% in new
construction and 72% in rehab projects. And when you add innovative Parflex
FastMate quick connect fittings, the savings only get better.
With Parker’s revolutionary new fitting, installers no longer have to
handle or inventory split rings, ferrules, gaskets or washers. The FastMate
fitting comes preassembled from the factory with no field assembly required.
Just push the tube into the fitting and tighten the nut, for a metal-to-metal
seal that’s AGA certified.
