Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The OROFLEX AQUA hose is designed for drinking water transfer in long lines and emergency delivery operations. It is a premium, flexible, leak-free hose suitable for extreme UV and ozone conditions, offering total corrosion resistance and minimal snaking under high pressures. It is fully approved for potable water, certified under NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 61.
Specifications: The hose is constructed from circularly woven high tenacity synthetic yarn, protected by a thermoplastic polyurethane layer. It offers high resistance to abrasion, cutting, and chemical exposure, including seawater, hydrocarbons, oils, and greases. The hose has a maximum elongation of 2% and expansion of 10%.
Applications: Suitable for drinking water transfer, liquid and powder food transfer, ship/boat water supply, sewer and water treatment, pipeline bypass, and waste transfer.
Physical Properties: The hose is available in various sizes, with nominal inner diameters ranging from 1 inch to 16 inches. Working pressures range from 12 bar (175 psi) to 21 bar (300 psi), and burst pressures from 28 bar (400 psi) to 63 bar (900 psi). The tensile strength varies from 2,100 kg (4,600 lb) to 80,000 kg (176,400 lb).
Lengths and Couplings: Standard lengths are 660ft (200m), with other lengths available upon request. Couplings such as Bauer, Victaulic, and Storz can be provided as per purchaser's request.
Service Temperature Range: The hose operates effectively from -58ºF (-50ºC) to 150ºF (65ºC), with peaks up to 175ºF (80ºC). Special versions for extreme temperatures are available upon request.
Additional Information: The hose is available in a standard blue cover, with other colors upon request. It is certified by the NSF for potable water use, ensuring compliance with health effect standards. TIPSA reserves the right to modify specifications to meet changing standards.

OROFLEX™ AQUA-1

Specially Designed for Drinking Water Transfer in Long Lines & Emergency Delivery Operations Applications: Designed and recommended as a drinking water transfer hose in long lines and emergency delivery operations, liquid and powder food transfer, ship/boat drinking-water supply, sewer and water treatment, pipeline by-pass and waste transfer. Construction: Made from circularly woven 100% high tenacity synthetic yarn, completely protected and locked-in by a tough, highly resistant thermoplastic polyurethane extruded through the weave, forming a single homogenous construction without the use of glues or adhesives. Its construction does not permit corrosion or scaling, while giving a high resistance against abrasion and cutting. Easy handling, storage & transport, which allows for fast installation and retrieval. 2% maximum hose elongation and 10% maximum hose expansion. Lining Properties: a. Ultimate Tensile Strength of the lining: Minimum guaranteed value of 5,800 psi (40 MPa). b. Ultimate Elongation: 500% minimum. Lengths: Standard lengths in 660ft (200m). Also available in 200ft (61m) for 2" and 3" diameters and 330ft (100m) for 4" and 5" diameters. Longer lengths may be available upon request. Abrasion Resistance: The OROFLEX AQUA hose will extend the lifetime of your application when under extreme conditions, where abrasion is the main concern. Under practical conditions, thermoplastic polyurethane is considered to be the most abrasion resistant elastomeric material. Service Temperature Range: From -58°F (-50°C) to 150°F (65°C), with peaks of up to 175°F (80°C). Special versions for higher and lower temperatures available upon request. Ozone Resistance: No visible signs of cracking will appear due to the ozone. Excellent weather and UV resistance. Chemical Resistance: Exposure to seawater and contamination by most chemical substances, hydrocarbons, oils and greases has no effect on the short or long term performance of the hose. A chemical resistance chart is available and TIPSA will supply specific chemical resistance data when requested by the purchaser for unique applications. Couplings: As requested by purchaser; Bauer, Victaulic, Storz, etc. TIPSA - Kuriyama Group • Av. de Barcelona, 20 • 08970 Sant Joan Despf / Barcelona, Spain T. +34 93 602 1818 • www.tipsa.com
