FEP Chemical and Food Suction Hose
FDA, USDA, 3-A
Series SW373
Series SW373 is a premium quality, high pressure, high temperature suction and discharge
hose designed to handle approximately 99.5% of commonly used acids, chemicals and
solvents, as well as food and sanitary materials. Te fuorinated ethylene propylene (FEP)
tube meets FDA, USDA and 3-A requirements, will not leach into and contaminate the
product being conveyed, and features a temperature rating to 300°F (149°C). Te hose
construction incorporates a dual wire helix that provides full suction capability, kink
resistance and a path to conduct a static electrical charge to ground. Te cover is resistant to
abrasion, mild chemicals and ozone.

WARNINGS!
It is the responsibility of the user to determine if the hose is suitable for the application. Most chemical resistance guides are based on
temperatures of 70°F (21°C). Elevated temperatures can change the chemical resistance ratings. Many chemicals will become more
aggressive as temperatures increase, reducing the ability of hose compounds to withstand them. Contact Parker for chemical compatibility
data at elevated temperatures. If no data exists, users are required to perform compatibility testing at the desired temperature.
At operating temperatures of 125°F (52°C) and above, only permanently attached couplings should be installed. At any operating
temperature, couplings attached with bands or clamps may reduce the working pressure of the hose assembly to less than the maximum
rated working pressure of the hose. Refer to the NAHAD Industrial Hose Assembly Guidelines.
Do not use with internally expanded couplings. Refer to chemical hoses that incorporate a MXLPE tube.
