Type 8702 Steam Hose is specially formulated for steam service applications. With a durable wire braid featuring a 10X safety ratio, this hose reduces the risk of failure in dangerous steam applications. The heat resistant EPDM rubber tube is designed to prevent wear often caused by hot and cold cycling in steam applications. The wire braid reinforcement can be grounded and offers kink resistance. A pin-pricked EPDM rubber cover is weather resistant and offered in red (most sizes) or black for color coding and identification. In the case of most failures, a pin pricked cover will bleed rather than burst. An Oil resistant cover and a non-marking cover are also available.
Assemblies available with ground joint couplings with bolted clamps (as shown) or crimped. Crimped assemblies meet Mil-Spec 29210E and ISO 4023/6134 Standards.
*ONLY use hose, couplings, adapters, and hose clamps that are approved for steam service*
Always use Hose Safety Whip Checks on steam hose applications

Best practices for maintaining steam hose assemblies:
- For best longevity, Drain hose well after use / prior to storage
- Install a valve before the hose for quick shut off in the event of a failure incident
- Check torque on bolted hose clamps regularly, using a properly calibrated torque-wrench
- Inspect hose regularly, replace where needed before a failure can occur
- Only repair steam hose using approved parts and recommended installation practices
