WRS Hose & Fittings
Stainless Steel Braided PTFE Hose hose and fittings

Call or email today for a quote on your hose needs. Let one of our staff show you why WRS Hose is a chosen supplier for some of the world's top companies in the manufacturing, mining and drilling industries.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is the chemical name for TeflonŽ. This is a highly saturated fluorocarbon polymer. These fluoropolymer hoses come with a Braided Stainless Steel cover.
This protects the hose, and allows the hose to carry ample operational pressure.
