Swagelok 245647 High Pressure Metal Flexible Hose Assembly, 1/4" Tube Fit

The Swagelok 245647 is a high-pressure flexible metal hose assembly designed for reliable fluid transfer in demanding industrial environments. Featuring a 1/4-inch nominal size with tube adapter fittings, this assembly is constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, including an annular corrugated core and braided reinforcement for enhanced durability and flexibility. It excels in applications requiring vibration resistance, high pressure, and temperature extremes, such as chemical processing, oil and gas, and instrumentation systems. Key benefits include superior leak-tight performance, ease of installation, and longevity compared to rigid tubing or less robust flexible options. Drawbacks may include higher cost than polymer hoses and limited flexibility in very tight bends. This specific unit appears to be new old stock from 2013, in original packaging, with no visible wear or damage based on provided images. It offers advantages over competitors like Parker or Eaton hoses through Swagelok's precision engineering and compatibility with their extensive fitting ecosystem. For detailed specs, refer to Swagelok's FM Series Metal Hose datasheet (available at https://www.swagelok.com/downloads/webcatalogs/EN/MS-01-179.pdf). Model decoding indicates a custom or standard configuration for 1/4" size with tube fittings.
