Why Stainless Steel Polylock Flexible Hose Is the Smart Choice for Exhaust, HVAC and Industrial Ducting

If you’re working on exhaust systems, ducting or material handling, having a tube that’s both flexible and robust can make all the difference. Stainless Steel Polylock Flexible Hose is a high-quality, purpose-built stainless-steel hose designed for heavy-duty performance, longevity and versatility.

What Makes This Polylock Hose Stand Out

Strip-wound stainless steel construction. The hose is manufactured from a single stainless-steel strip, precision-wrapped to produce a fully interlocked, seam-free tube. This creates excellent mechanical strength without weak joints.

Anti-torsion design. The hose includes built-in flats that prevent twisting or unwinding, ideal for applications with frequent movement.

High heat resistance. With a maximum operating temperature of up to 650°C, it can handle hot exhaust gases, flue gases and other high-temperature environments.

Smooth internal flow. When installed in the correct flow direction, the internal surface remains smooth, helping maintain consistent airflow or material flow.

Ideal Use Cases

This Polylock hose is particularly suited for:

  • Vehicle and industrial exhaust systems
  • Fume and flue gas extraction
  • HVAC ducting where rigid piping is impractical
  • Material handling of dust, granules and abrasive media
  • Industrial machinery requiring a durable, flexible connection

Key BenefitsPolylock Hose from Whitehouse Flexible Tubing

Compared to standard welded or plastic hose types, Stainless Steel Polylock offers:

  • No weak welds or seams
  • Long service life even under repeated bending and high temperatures
  • Superior chemical, heat and abrasion resistance
  • Reduced maintenance and downtime
  • Strong mechanical structure while remaining flexible

Sizing and Options

The Polylock hose is available in various internal diameters and can be supplied in different lengths to suit your exact application. This makes it suitable for bespoke exhaust fabrication, custom duct runs or specialised industrial setups.

Who Should Consider This Hose

Whether you’re a garage fabricating custom exhaust systems, a manufacturer working on industrial ventilation, or an engineer needing a reliable, abrasion-resistant ducting solution, Stainless Steel Polylock Flexible Hose is a solid choice. It combines the durability of steel with the adaptability of a flexible hose, making it ideal for demanding environments.
