    Rubberfab hoses

    Originally posted by gitchegumee View Post
    Just commissioned a new brewery complete with set of Unaflex 725 Brewers' hoses. I've used this for years with great results. But the new hose isn't at all the same product. Maybe same color, but otherwise is lighter & much easier to kink. Doesn't have the same markings and is "Made in Turkey". After we passivated our cellar tanks, lo and behold the hose was damaged WAY beyond use. Standard passivation with HNO3 @ 34% & 57C. Interior badly blistered and crunchy. Beware this hose isn't what it used to be.
    I am in the process of getting quotes for new brewery hoses. I am looking at Goodyear Vintner hose and Rubberfab's F&B and FDAE hose. Anyone had any experience with the latter?

    Cheers,

      I got some hoses from Archon that I'm very happy with. Price was a little cheaper than goodyear, and the workmanship on the hose ends is solid.

        How long have you had them? Do you have a link to the particular hose you purchased? Thanks, in advance . . . :-D
