Peter Huber Hose Connection Tubing, Metal NW 12 M16x1, 100 cm, 200°C Max. Temp.

The Peter Huber 9608 is a high-quality insulated metal hose designed for precise and safe thermoregulation in laboratory environments. Featuring a nominal width of NW12 and standard M16x1 threaded connections, this flexible tubing is specifically engineered to handle the thermal demands of heating and cooling circulators. It supports a reliable working temperature range from -50 to 200°C, making it suitable for a wide variety of standard temperature control tasks involving silicone oils and other common thermal fluids. At 100cm (1 meter) in length, this hose provides a compact and efficient connection for circulators to external reactors, photometers, or viscometers. The hose is constructed from durable stainless steel and features specialized multi-layer insulation with a smooth silicone outer cover and protective end caps to minimize heat loss and ensure user safety.

This Huber metal hose is a critical accessory for maintaining the precision and safety of your temperature control circuit. The integrated silicone cover not only provides additional insulation but also creates a "wipe-clean" surface that is resistant to chemical splashes. The M16x1 fittings are standardized for a secure, vibration-resistant connection to Huber Ministat, KISS, and Compatible Control (CC) series units, ensuring long-term reliability in daily laboratory operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the 100cm length beneficial for my lab?
Shorter hoses (1 meter) minimize the volume of thermal fluid required in the system and reduce the "dead volume" in the connection. This leads to faster response times and less heat loss between the circulator and your application.

2. Can this hose be used for sub-zero cooling?
Yes, the 9608 is rated down to -50°C. The specialized insulation prevents the formation of ice and frost on the outside of the hose, which keeps your workspace dry and prevents water damage to sensitive electronics.

3. What does the "M16x1" connection signify?
M16x1 refers to a metric thread with a 16mm diameter and a 1mm pitch. This is the standard connection size for smaller Huber circulators like the Ministat and KISS series.

4. Is the silicone cover heat-resistant?
Yes, the silicone jacket is designed to withstand the full 200°C temperature range of the hose. It remains flexible and does not become brittle or sticky under normal operating conditions.

5. Is this hose compatible with flammable thermal fluids?
Yes, the stainless steel construction and high-temperature rating make it suitable for use with flammable heat transfer fluids, provided they are used within the hose's temperature and pressure specifications.
