We manufacture custom metal hose assemblies for industrial equipment, piping systems, OEM machinery, replacement projects and demanding process applications.
A custom metal hose assembly combines a flexible stainless steel hose with application-specific end fittings, dimensions and construction. Instead of forcing customers to choose from standard catalog sizes, we manufacture each assembly according to drawings, samples, operating parameters and equipment interfaces.
Our custom hose solutions can support applications involving:
High temperature
High pressure
Vibration
Thermal movement
Corrosive media
Vacuum
Restricted installation space
Non-standard equipment connections
Customers can customize the hose material, braid configuration, diameter, overall length and end fittings according to their actual operating conditions.
We support both new OEM projects and replacement hose applications.
What Is a Custom Metal Hose Assembly?
A custom metal hose assembly combines a corrugated stainless steel hose with fittings that match the customer’s piping or equipment.
A complete assembly may include:
Corrugated stainless steel hose
Single stainless steel braid
Double stainless steel braid
Threaded fittings
Flanges
Weld ends
Pipe nipples
Tube ends
Custom machined connectors
The corrugated hose provides flexibility, while the stainless steel braid can improve pressure support and mechanical stability.
Custom fittings allow the finished assembly to connect directly to existing equipment.
This approach helps OEM manufacturers and maintenance teams reduce additional machining, adapters and on-site modifications.
Custom Metal Hose From Drawings
Engineering drawings provide one of the most effective ways to manufacture a custom hose assembly.
Customers can send us:
STEP files
DWG drawings
DXF drawings
PDF drawings
Dimensional sketches
Equipment interface drawings
Our team reviews:
Hose diameter
Overall length
Flexible length
Fitting dimensions
Thread specifications
Flange dimensions
Material requirements
Operating conditions
We can then manufacture the assembly according to the confirmed dimensions.
For OEM projects, drawings also help maintain consistency across repeat production.
Custom Metal Hose From Samples
Many replacement projects involve older machines that no longer have complete technical drawings.
Customers can send us an existing metal hose assembly as a reference.
We can use the sample to evaluate:
Hose diameter
Assembly length
Braid construction
Fitting type
Thread dimensions
Flange dimensions
Connection orientation
General construction
However, appearance alone cannot determine every performance requirement.
Two hose assemblies may look almost identical while using different materials, braid configurations or pressure ratings.
We therefore recommend providing the original:
Working pressure
Operating temperature
Media
Movement
Vacuum level if applicable
This information helps us evaluate the correct hose structure instead of simply copying the external dimensions.
Custom Hose Length & Diameter
Industrial equipment often requires non-standard hose dimensions.
We can manufacture hose assemblies according to the required:
Inside diameter
Nominal diameter
Flexible length
Overall assembly length
Fitting length
Installation space
Correct hose length plays an important role in performance.
A hose that is too short may experience excessive bending or stress near the fittings.
A hose that is too long may create unnecessary movement or interfere with surrounding equipment.
For moving or vibrating applications, customers should provide the installation geometry whenever possible.
Custom Stainless Steel Materials
Different operating environments require different materials.
Common stainless steel options may include:
SS304
SS304 suits many general industrial applications and provides good corrosion resistance.
SS316L
Customers often choose SS316L for chemical, petrochemical, food, pharmaceutical, marine and other applications that require improved corrosion resistance.
SS321
SS321 may suit selected high-temperature applications where thermal stability plays an important role.
Material selection depends on:
Media
Corrosion environment
Temperature
Pressure
Cleaning conditions
Customers should provide the exact media whenever material compatibility matters.
Custom Braid Configurations
The braid structure influences the mechanical stability and pressure capability of a metal hose assembly.
We can manufacture:
Unbraided metal hose
Single-braided hose
Double-braided hose
Custom reinforced configurations
A single braid suits many standard industrial applications.
Customers may choose double braid when the application requires additional pressure support or reinforcement.
However, more braid does not automatically mean that a hose suits every high-pressure application.
Our team evaluates:
Working pressure
Maximum pressure
Hose diameter
Temperature
Movement
Fitting design
before selecting the final construction.
Custom End Fittings
End connections represent one of the most important advantages of custom metal hose manufacturing.
We can manufacture assemblies with different fittings on each end.
Available configurations may include:
BSP threads
NPT threads
Metric threads
Male threads
Female threads
Flanges
Weld ends
Pipe ends
Tube ends
Custom machined fittings
Customers can also combine different connection types.
For example:
Flange + threaded fitting
Weld end + flange
Male thread + female thread
Standard fitting + custom machined connector
This flexibility helps the assembly match existing equipment directly.
Custom Flanged Metal Hose Assembly
Flanged hose assemblies provide a convenient connection for industrial piping and larger equipment.
Customers can specify:
Flange type
Flange diameter
Bolt pattern
Pressure requirement
Material
Overall hose length
We can also evaluate custom flange dimensions according to customer drawings.
Typical applications include:
Process piping
Pumps
Compressors
Chemical equipment
Petrochemical systems
Power equipment
Skid-mounted machinery
Custom Threaded Metal Hose Assembly
Threaded fittings suit many compact industrial systems and equipment connections.
We can evaluate:
BSP
NPT
Metric threads
Male connections
Female connections
Mixed threaded ends
Customers should provide the exact thread standard and size.
For replacement projects, a drawing or sample can help prevent thread mismatch.
Custom Metal Hose for High Pressure
High-pressure applications often require braided stainless steel hose assemblies.
The braid helps control pressure-induced elongation and supports the corrugated hose.
Customers should provide:
Normal working pressure
Maximum pressure
Temperature
Hose diameter
Media
Movement conditions
Our team evaluates these factors together before recommending the braid configuration.
Custom Metal Hose for High Temperature
Metal hose can support many high-temperature applications, including:
Steam systems
Thermal oil equipment
Industrial ovens
Heating equipment
Power systems
Process machinery
Customers should provide both temperature and pressure because temperature can influence pressure capability and material selection.
Custom Metal Hose for Vibration
Pumps, compressors and rotating machinery generate vibration during operation.
A properly selected flexible hose assembly can help reduce vibration transfer between equipment and rigid piping.
Typical applications include:
Pump connections
Compressor systems
Chillers
Industrial engines
Hydraulic machinery
Process equipment
Correct hose length and installation geometry help reduce unnecessary stress.
Custom Metal Hose for Chemical Applications
Chemical systems often require careful material selection.
We manufacture custom assemblies for selected applications involving:
Chemicals
Solvents
Process fluids
Steam
Oil
Gas
Customers should provide:
Exact media
Concentration
Temperature
Pressure
This information helps us evaluate stainless steel compatibility and hose construction.
Custom Metal Hose for OEM Equipment
OEM manufacturers often require hose assemblies that fit directly into their equipment.
We support custom hose projects for:
Industrial machinery
Automation systems
Chemical equipment
Petrochemical equipment
Food machinery
Pharmaceutical systems
Semiconductor equipment
HVAC equipment
Power systems
Customers can send us complete machine drawings or only the connection interface.
We can manufacture the hose around the equipment instead of asking the customer to redesign the machine around a standard hose.
Replacement Metal Hose Assemblies
Maintenance teams often need replacement assemblies for discontinued or imported equipment.
We can evaluate:
Existing hose samples
Old drawings
Equipment photos
Dimensional measurements
Connection details
Our team can review the physical dimensions and develop a replacement assembly.
For safe and reliable selection, we also recommend providing the original operating conditions whenever possible.
