Hoses & Fittings
SF-LITE HOSE SYSTEM - 550 SERIES
SF-Lite is the newest addition to the Speedfl ow range & is the most
technologically advanced hose system available! The hose has a
carbon impregnated anti-static PTFE inner tube that is manufactured
with a smooth-bore and convolutions on the outside which allows for
improved fl exibility. Being a smooth-bore hose, there are no voids
that can create turbulence or trap debris as commonly found with a
fully convoluted hose.
SF-Lite is available in six sizes from -4 to -16, all with a large bore
size allowing greater volume to be carried at higher fl ow rates.
It comes in a choice of two braid options, Aramid Fibre or Stainless
Steel braid.
Aramid fi bre braid is a strong, fl exible and lightweight cover that
has well-known characteristics of durability and extraordinary tensile
strength along with a high temperature rating.
550
SERIES
Stainless Steel braid is made from 304 stainless steel and offers a
much tighter bend radius along with full vacuum rating below 130°C
and protects the PTFE liner against internal pressure and mechanical
abuse.
SF-Lite has an even higher resistance to permeation than a standard
smooth-bore PTFE hose thanks to the unique manufacturing process
which highly compresses the PTFE matrix ensuring a nonporous
structure. This makes SF-Lite compatible with all automotive fl uids
including fuels such as E85 along with refrigeration gases making it
perfect for AC lines.
SF-Lite utilises Speedfl ows new crimp system, and lightweight hose
end series. The majority of the angled hose ends are made from
our unique one piece formed bends that offer the most compact
hose ends on the market with exceptional strength and allow us to
achieve very light weight systems.
Tefl on ® Aramid Braided Hose
Speedfl ow’s light weight system starts with a black antistatic smooth bore PTFE (Tefl on®) liner tube manufactured with convolutions on the
outside which makes for high fl ow with the fl exibility of a tighter bend radius than our standard 200 Series hose. We offer our light weight
hose with an Aramid Fibre Braid which is light weight, abrasion and heat resistant. The working pressure rating will reduce by 1% per 1°C at
temps above 130°C up to a maximum of 180°. The manufacturer does not specify this as a Vacuum rated hose. For vacuum applications use
the below Stainless Steel Braided version.
• Temperature Range: -70°C (-94°F) to 180°C (356°F).

SERIES
Tefl on ® Stainless Steel Braided Hose
The Stainless Steel braided version is made from the same liner as above, utilising a 304 Stainless Steel braid which provides more rigidity
and fl exibility, which is important when working in tight situations. The working pressure rating will reduce by 1% per 1°C at temps above
160°C up to a maximum of 260°. This hose is vacuum resistant up to 130° (266°F).
• Temperature Range: -70°C (-94°F) to 180°C (356°F).
